If it comes out I'd compare both versions, see whether the fit has improved or not.

There will be another one.....and the items I'm sure will be hotter.

Maybe this time it'll burn a crater in you wallet.

Oh really?

Mine was inspired by Alienware logo.

A great sig. Thx!

hehe, I am so happy today. The DDM I've bought from a fella at the headjam forum has arrived!

Listening to it right now.....and my fears of the fit has been blown away. It fits quite snuggly. Although it sticks out a bit and I can feel its weight, it doesn't feel insecure, and I can get a seal. I am very glad it turned out nicely.

Also, I've made payments for my Box+.....WEEEE!!!

The HP-TWF11K Pro actually.

I think from afar the red one's going to look like a major zit on my ear.

Yeah, I have pretty big ear bowl/concha so that helped.

Added on January 31, 2011, 7:57 pmHmmm....the reviews are right. It's missing out a bit on the female vocal shrill.
But the best bass I've ever heard, and guitars and pianos and violins and cellos...wow.

It's a second hand unit. Considering what I paid blegh(i bought from him), it was a steal. I can't wait for the new DDM II to come.

Hehe, you're right, the black isn't as unique. I just came back from Giant, and every eye that looks at me were towards my ears wearing the DDM. Interesting if I were to wear a red one.
Oh I think I'm not that sensitive towards incoherency. I don't realize any oddities at any frequency.
If blegh didn't sell his off to me, I'd eventually buy a new one from Jaben, and I'd happily pay for that price as well.

EDIT: Actually, maybe I wasn't aware of what to listen to, I do find something just a tad bit odd, but not really bothering. At some parts, the bass can sometimes sound a bit different than the whole music. Like it's an entirely different entity.
EDIT: Or maybe it's the treble, can sometimes sound a bit muffled when the bass kicks in, but is quite apparent when not much of the low stuff is going on.

Is that incoherency? It's my first time ever taking notice of these things.

I end up using the medium Radius ones. To me they open up the head stage a bit more. The Sony ones does give a better high end though, at least according to my ears. Plus I don't have to push it in as deep to get the seal, and yet still produce that vacuum seal that the Sony also gives.

Yaaaay! Thank you Jaben. Received my Hippo Box+ today!!
The Poslaju man was great too. I was unexpectedly late coming home from work today. Coincidentally Poslaju was in the area making deliveries, and the man remembered me so he sent it to me at work rather than t the address. Great service on their part as well.

Actually it has already done more than 500 according to blegh(incl. my usage).

Hmmm, we'll see after a few months of use.

Owh, so that's incoherency ay?
The cymbals and hi-hats are the most muffled when the bass kicks in. Actually I'm not even sure which one is the one separating itself from the music, is it the highs or is it the lows. Waaa....confused from first time critical listening to multi-drivers!

Added on February 2, 2011, 6:59 pmOh and one weird thing to note about my Box+.
When plugged in to the Gumstick, whenever I touch the sides of the Gumstick(is it made of metal?), there's like a very apparent electrical tone that can be heard. It doesn't appear when I touch the blue bit of the Gumstick.

Can also be heard faintly when music is playing at 10/31, also only when touching the sides.

I don' think I need the Box+ with the Gumstick anyway, but it sure does give that extra kick when paired with the Fuze+, when I'm in a mood for extra bass kick. With Gumstick is good too, very engaging.

But still curious with the tone that can be heard when the Gumstick is touched when paired with the Box+.

EDIT:
Oh wait, it even appears when the Gumstick is turned off. So somehow the internal cicuitry is connected to the metal casing and whenever I touch the sides the tone appears.

Oh and I need to touch both sides of the Gumstick at once for the tone to appear.

Excuse me.
My DDM's right channel has died. It is the jack. Can I claim warranty from Jaben.

Or maybe...recable?

It happened all of a sudden.
I was listening to some music on my laptop and it sounded as great as ever, then off goes the right channel. Just like that.

I can't remember tugging it. But I did let my friends have a go and I let it go off my sight.

Yeah, I've already PM'ed walabies.
I'd wrap it up real nice and put it inside a makeshift reinforced box and send it to Jaben.

Yeah. I'll have my dad send it via Poslaju to you.
The address is on the receipt right?

Hey I want to ask. What IEM does the Hifiman HM-601 come with?
Thinking of having it as my next DAP upgrade.

Oh, nevermind then.
I've already got a DDM. I wonder how's that going to sound when outputting an HM-601?

Hehe, the DDM will be sent tomorrow.
Oh I am going "deaf" for a while. That spare money in my account just screams, "NEW IEM, NEW IEM!!".

I won't give in that easily this time.

I bought it from blegh. So it was fully burned in when I got it.
There is still a minor problem of incoherency though. They say it should go away at around 1000 hours.

I don't have it now. Right now the IEM is in a brown-paper packaging, 2 layers of bubble wrap, my old Hippo Gumstick foam box, in an airplane, 10 000 metres in the air, over the South China Sea, on its way to Jaben Malaysia for repairs.
See you in a while, DDM.
