While I wanted to use my **Innuos Zenith**, my ethernet cable situation forced me to go with my **MacBook + May DAC**. For amplification, I tested both the **Burson Voyager** (solid-state) and the **Sparkos Gemini** (tube), rolling in my **Telefunken 6922** because—why not? So, what do I think? Well, the **Poet is gorgeous** and **comfortable**, but sonically, it was a bit tricky for me. The **upper midrange felt softened**, and compared to the **Empyrean 2, 105AER, and Project Omega**, I found the Poet's **vocal presence a little too relaxed**. On the plus side, the **bass response is fantastic—tight, punchy, and clean**, arguably more accurate than the **Empyrean 2**. For pairing? No contest—**the Sparkos Gemini destroyed the Voyager in bass and dynamics**. Even Sarah agreed within five seconds: “This one (pointing to Gemini) sounds fuller and bigger.” At the end of the day, the **Poet isn’t my ideal headphone**, but if you like **a laid-back vocal presentation with a dash of air**, it could be for you. And let’s not forget: **TUBES.** Watch the full breakdown and let me know—what do you think of the Poet?
