1st lesson to be teardown ATH-IM50 and order REMAX Rm-600m iron unit driver for swap over smile.gif

Sound cool right

That's some straight-up Frankenstein stuff right there biggrin.gif Not sure what the results will be like, do you have a rig to measure a before and after frequency response?

Also, if you're interested in this kind of stuff, the next logical step would be to 3d-print a housing for the driver, instead of just slapping it into an existing shell.

The IM50 would have more bass, and because it has dual drivers it's much more sensitive (108dB vs 97 dB), and with that sensitivity you won't have to push it as far to produce decent volume, and therefore it will stay well out of distortion levels.

My guess is, because the BA driver of the RM600M is self contained, it'll most probably be about the same. Maybe some minor differences, because of the longer nozzle (and probably different diametre too). The IM50's casing is quite unergonomic, and a BA driver would require no less than a perfect vacuum seal, so that could be a problem.

Seemed like a midfi brand, never tried their higher-priced models. Why aren't you using it then? Also, why not just sell it and put the cash towards your Mojo?

I managed to get my speakers last week. Edifier Studio 7, they're pretty ok for the price. But I think if I waited a little longer I could've gotten a pair of KRK Rokits instead.

Even though the speakers aren't TOTL, I prefer them over headphones at the moment. The music experience is different between headphones and speakers.

Home speaker would be good too, but most of time didn't manage a good cleaning, would be dust collector, in between headphone & IEMs is personal preference too.

Heard about the Pinnacle P1. It's like MEE put in all their chips for their big mid-fi flagship. Read that it sounds neutral, slight treble emphasis with wide stage. I wouldn't be so interested in it if it weren't sold out since CNY. You getting? The machined metal looks nice.

50 ohm impedance. It would need an amp to drive properly. Though it is an easy load for portables (albeit you won't reach very high volumes).

Honestly, does acoustic design on the inner housing matters? I wonder if plastic (cheaper ones) encasing does affect sound. Coz I really find the likes of Finals (especially), Dita, and IEMs with metal housing sound slightly different. Like they can afford louder sound w/o distortion (or is it because they're more expensive than the ones I tried? Shrugs).
Shure did a great job on their 846 low pass thingy. That's also related to what I'm talking about. Less on the driver unit, more on the design of passage between the driver and our ears.

Bass impact + sound leak for matel shell/housing will help up.

Such as soild wood vs chipboard on speaker the sound might be slightly different too.

Anyone own the Westone W60 or 4R or UM Pro 50 here, please feedback and how does the impression sound laugh.gif

Very interesting on westone cause they package more armature drivers than Shure 846 max 4 drivers only

Actually shure 846 the sound not thick enough, so I dislike shure 846 btw

I don't know, but just as an example, Sammy Rhapsodio mentioned that his flagship Galaxy actually sounds better (better details, brighter) in its universal metal housing, as opposed to the acryllic custom version (darker, bassier). This is the first time I've heard a company boss claiming that his uni is better than the custom lol.

Sure you can afford, but question is whether you like the Angie sound. Better bring your Remax to compare when testing.

I love metal or ceramic housing when done right. It has this special echo which makes the sound more "mature/stable". Or weighty.
But the latest kumitomo trio, it's Damn bright.

at canjam i noticed quite a few companies start using titanium shells or something like that, they claim it prevents vibration on the shell so all tje sound will be channeled to the ear canal and not lost in shell vibrations

but i dont buy their claim, there's no evidence of it

i beg to differ on this one. i own both Flare's R2A (aluminium) and R2Pro (titanium). The housing structure is the same, but made with different material. the sound signature is hugely different between these two. sound stage is also wider on the titanium one.

Sounds plausible, but as always sound is subjective. So there will never be a peer-reviewed, randomised controlled trials that will prove that titanium housings improve soundstage. Beauty in the ears of the beholder.

No lah, buy n sell waste money, I should be a good one, can used for longer and at least few years.

RHA T20 sound is beautiful, but just 2 coil dynamics meant only produces 2 layers, bass & treble without mids, I like voices more more bassy.

So my REMAX S1 can deliver better balanced at all

But dunno why ppls still prefer Noble K10 smile.gif

Yep. If what Final Audio Design claimed is true, they basically use the entirely same inner part on both Piano Forte IX and Piano Forte X, but I totally find the IX to be brighter than the much thicker X. IX is on stainless steel and X is on chrome copper. I tried the Piano Forte II, it sounds... well, like the bass reflected not evenly.

i'd say the R2As are absolute steal at that price point (50GBP at kickstarter price). R2Pros on the other hand, not value for money at 200GBP. both driven with same dynamic driver. Pro has better details, punchier bass, wider and taller soundstage. treble is laidback on both, and not too detailed like BAs. bass is amazing though, on the R2As, but more controlled and punchier+tighter on the Pros. bass lovers should definitely try these out. @phillip88 demo-ed the r2pro while testing my DP-X1. maybe he can chip in his opinion.

my brother and i did a couple of blind tests with these pairs and i was able to tell them apart every single time. i'm not saying that my opinion is final, but just stating that the difference is obvious to me.

the drivers are the same, or so they claim. i bought a pair of spare drivers for just-in-case repairs and they told me they are all the same for R2S, R2A and R2Pro. while i'm no mechanical/EE engineer, i did open up the housing and they look similar to me.

Haha, recently I sold my AK100II, now just using Note 5 + my SE846 for daily outstation use

Meanwhile I continue to try <RM3k DAPs, may be eventually buy Sony PCM-D100 or Onkyo DP-X1 or any new player with good price and good sound cool.gif

i'd say the R2As are absolute steal at that price point (50GBP at kickstarter price). R2Pros on the other hand, not value for money at 200GBP. both driven with same dynamic driver. Pro has better details, punchier bass, wider and taller soundstage. treble is laidback on both, and not too detailed like BAs. bass is amazing though, on the R2As, but more controlled and punchier+tighter on the Pros. bass lovers should definitely try these out. @phillip88 demo-ed the r2pro while testing my DP-X1. maybe he can chip in his opinion.

my brother and i did a couple of blind tests with these pairs and i was able to tell them apart every single time. i'm not saying that my opinion is final, but just stating that the difference is obvious to me.
the drivers are the same, or so they claim. i bought a pair of spare drivers for just-in-case repairs and they told me they are all the same for R2S, R2A and R2Pro. while i'm no mechanical/EE engineer, i did open up the housing and they look similar to me.
*
It's a micro driver, that's as obvious as I can tell. The sound coming from that micro driver, the type of bass, quite similar to Yamaha EPH-100. Just that I can hear it has (i suspect) achieved its potential with the DP-X1. Still, not the utmost clearest sound. But definitely live-able when wanting a more relaxed listening.

Erm. Maybe I haven't achieve that kind of level yet. Regardless of how many drivers inside an IEM, it's either coherent or incoherent to my ears.

Definitely do consider DP-X1 as it's is really light, and the sound is amazing! DX80 is smooth. Both are portable.

Yep. If what Final Audio Design claimed is true, they basically use the entirely same inner part on both Piano Forte IX and Piano Forte X, but I totally find the IX to be brighter than the much thicker X. IX is on stainless steel and X is on chrome copper. I tried the Piano Forte II, it sounds... well, like the bass reflected not evenly.

what is bass & treble without mids? V-shaped, or totally recessed, or totally no mids?

Remember what the marketing dept said about Heaven V Aging? The sound will change character over time as the metal housing matures. First reaction is yau mouuu? Then I sold my Heaven VI.

Jupiter retails RM4399 from E1. Price is... okaylarr (SGD1399), but when you think about whay you can buy for the family instead (eg new laptop, bluray 5.1 home theatre, unit trust lol) then the guilt sets in.

I'm not sure about V Aging changing sound. AFAIK it's just the surface being oxidized.

RHA T20 dual coil dynamics driver only produces sound, Bass and Treble, but mids ranges un clear, so the voical voices very weaks, all covering impact by bass punchy, can't listen voices as well.

Remax S1 maybe cheap IEM but quad core in 1 dynamic driver can produces : mids, bass and treble with detailed.

The sound totally like a live concert or studio room, can be listened more enjoyable, unlike it very flat n something missing on detailed.

I wonder what does it mean quad core? It's not a friggin CPU, and I never heard people use core to replace the term BA. Perhaps a new design which I haven't discovered.

Erm... AFAIK the second driver of T20 is to produce treble (AFAIU from the orange line on the graph). It's still pretty even across the frequency, and unless the unit you got is defective, the sound should be pretty balanced right?

I see, but do you really needs mojo to enhance the quality of sound?

Since I'm get it then just used to it.

I was found the sound only deliver warmed than without mojo, but bass would be improved a lot

No, the term is not official. Just saw it somewhere else and thought using it for the convenience of describing dynamic driver with the size of 6mm or equivalent smaller ones.

Somehow they sound quite similar. Bass is not really deep, and the mids are kinda thick-ish.

i'm sold too. wait, u're serious right?

while i'm not rejecting the possibility of cheap stuff sounding good, i just can't possibly believe that something at 200 bucks can better something at the >1000 range, unless we are talking about high margin stuff like beats

No, don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting your experience. You sound genuinely enjoying your Remax, which is a good thing. Music is about enjoyment.

Just that I don't understand the term: Quad core driver. What does that supposed to mean? Maybe you don't know, because you're not the one making it. But I do hope Remax could've made it clearer.

Maybe I'm still new in audiophile, while the sound quality I should knew the different, cause on ever single piece was used money to buy.

To be honest the sound from REMAX s1 sound detailed as much better than IM50, from im50 slightly flat without mids range, good bass & treble just without fun n haven sound detailed

No, don't get me wrong. I'm not doubting your experience. You sound genuinely enjoying your Remax, which is a good thing. Music is about enjoyment.

Just that I don't understand the term: Quad core driver. What does that supposed to mean? Maybe you don't know, because you're not the one making it. But I do hope Remax could've made it clearer.
I'm not doubting his experience either. Remember the times when I was new to these stuffs and could hardly discern good sound from the bad, even the sub RM200 sounds majestic!

I think it's a misunderstanding of terms, quad core /= quad driver. Seems to me a its a single driver with multiple components, the illustration seems to indicate that too. Not exactly convinced by the marketing copy, but then I've never listened to it.

Maybe I'm still new in audiophile, while the sound quality I should knew the different, cause on ever single piece was used money to buy.

To be honest the sound from REMAX s1 sound detailed as much better than IM50, from im50 slightly flat without mids range, good bass & treble just without fun n haven sound detailed

IM50 to my ears are fat, thick and with good midrange. Treble not so loud. It's quite detailed for the price tho.

Usually talks can be how well of these.
Once you try it out the taste was different feels.

IM50 is the pure dynamic drive vs this RM-535 dynamic drive are totally different, at center portion was made with matel piece.

Vs IM50 with pure dynamic driver can generate more bass is true.

Trained ears are like experienced car mechanics; they know what to look for in the sound, not just hear the sound vroom vrooom loud or not.

Get accustomed to reference sound equipment first and then make an informed judgment.

it has quite a good synergy to it, based on a live recording of joe bonamassa, the muddy wolf concert, it has a whole lot of equipments mix, guitar, harmonica, trumpets, pianos, vocals, background vocals, people cheering, keyboards and so much more, but i can hear them in separate when they hit their solo queue

it doesnt give glaring trebles and big ass bass, everything is well balanced and not much skewed to any side. good old fashioned enjoyment for long hours without hitch

Realistically, it's not in everyone's reach. As you know, people tend to go on a walkabout in midfi purgatory, instead of focusing on a single high end item. But yes, I find some high end gear remarkable in comparison, and a few even seem worth the cash.

Superfi (ala the Orpheus) is fun to try, but will never be an option for 99% of the us. I appreciate their existence, as a proof of concept, and future source of trickle down technology for mere mortals biggrin.gif

As you can see. He made no mention of the price. But rather stated that he is more impressed with midfi products as opposed to hi end gear.

And I quote:
"always impressed more on midfi than what superfi / master race is capable of"

No mention of price. It only states that he is more impressed with midfi equipment and that midfi equipment is more capable than high end equipment. Which to me, isn't true. While it holds true that more expensive doesn't equal better. But high end equipment is more often than not, impressive. That is if you're not paying for the diamond dust that comes with it and paying more for the engineering of a product. But then, since he product already has a premium price because of its engineering; they would often use more premium materials and better craftsmanship etc.

But simply stating that midfi products are more capable than high end products... That's a very long shot.

Superb midfi gear can be considered punching above their weight class, rarely do you get exceptional value for high end gear, that's something to consider too, no? I consider my TH-X00 very special, and plan to hold on to it, even when I look to an endgame setup, for example. The key part of his statement is probably the "if done right" part, and I tend to agree.

Yes. That's price to performance ratio and that's true and right what you said.
But sheer perform wise. Hugh end gear more often than not is better. And the fact that he made no mention of price and said that midfi is more capable and impressive. That is what got me. In as much as some of us, myself included may be included to think that the more expensive the better it sounds. The same may hold true the other way around too. We need to stop listening with our wallets. If it's good it's good. If its bad it's bad. Price is another issue.
Whether it's worth it or not is another matter.

Hahahaha. That statement really got me man. Haha. All good. I saw your items for sale. Going for the Stax009? Are they releasing a new flagship soon?
*
Haven't talked to the Stax guys yet, trying to get some cash together first before contacting them. I'll find out, trust me biggrin.gif

For me, the Stax SR-009 comes closest to what I enjoy, and was the most remarkable among all the flagships (and I tried every one, believe me) I auditioned at Canjam. So for now, that's my choice. Unless I hear otherwise from them, going to go for it, and their own amp.

Edit: Oh ya, also got distracted by a Hugo in the meantime, should be in my grubby hands soon tongue.gif

As a family man I'm also of two minds. Should take care of family first, Mojo will always be there.

On the other hand, if you don't take care of yourself first, where got mood to keep the family happy hahaha.

I've read (didn't hear sorry) that you're better off getting Velvet instead bcos the improvement does not justify the price. Warm and bassy smooth sound sig. Jupiter is more towards neutral, with a slight bass boost and extended treble.

I like Sessions from the 17th Ward, Amber Rubarth. Good mix of female vocals and strings, really shines on a good setup. Lots of companies seem to like this as a reference track as well, including Sennheiser

Got my copy from HDtracks some time ago

It's released by Chesky Binaural records. They recorded using one microphone in the middle of the performance so good headphones are supposed to demonstrate some accurate imaging. Immersive.

Not too sure, is original comes with 2.5mm jack then include 3.5mm adapter.

Need to check with someone... I just saw in website only

1 Custom 2.5mm TRRS to 3.5mm Adapter using The Truth Cable
*
The Dita Balanced with 2.5mm plug is for players like AK or Onkyo that has the 2.5mm balanced socket. In theory it cleans up the sound signal. In practice you might hear an improvement like bigger soundstage or better imaging, but this varies from person to person.

If you use the adapter then it just goes back to the normal 3.5mm socket like in handphones or other players (you get the regular "unbalanced sound"). But then it'll be wasted bcos Dita made the Balanced specifically to take advantage of the 2.5mm balanced socket in AK players.

If you want the normal 3.5mm plug just buy the cheaper Dita Truth (SGD1299). Dita Balanced goes for SGD1599 if not mistaken.

My issue is the fit. sad.gif Have to listen with both my fingers pressing on the housings for a good seal.

I wonder ah, if I get the regular Truth, send to some cable-maker to terminate in a balanced 2.5mm TRRS plug, then I'd save a lot rather than get Balanced itself.

But the number of drivers do not indicate or predict sound signature or quality. My JH13 has 6BA drivers too but I can bet you it sounds radically different from the W60. Layla has 12 drivers but I much prefer the JH13.

Should let your ears be the judge and not worry too much about driver count.

the price difference is because of the 2.5 trrs to 3.5 trs adapting cable which is expensive to produce.

I actually have. It's in Aliexpress sold by some Chinese earphone shops. Price about USD30. Haven't heard this one in particular, read that it's warm and smooth. But doesn't reach the technical ability of better-known Chines brands eg. VSonic and Ostry. Good to buy if you want something good-looking and disposable.

Then there are some around the USD100 region that has some attention by Head-Fi and has a loyal following. Eg. LZ-A2, DQSM, HCK-A2... weird names, but you can read about them in Head-Fi.

I got it 2nd hand around rm 350 I think... no box just the iem driver and an old ES8 cable. That time is after amazon crazy black friday sales for TF10, a big prize slashed.

Now I think it should be around SGD 150, depend on the condition, SGD 280 seems too high to me.

the main issue with TF10 will be the fit, if you get good fit and good seal, you will get the best sound from them, else you can forget about it.

it took me some time to adjust to it.

Yes the TF10 sticks out like two bolts from your ears bcos of the housing. Same goes for Sony XBA-H3 which I had. Loved the sound but hated the fit. Changing tips weren't beneficial either.

Eh so fast changed targets? From Jupiter and Angie 2 become FLC8S and Atlas?

Put your money on FLC8S. Worth every cent.

Personally, when I listened to Jupiter, I thought it was ngam ngam worth the money.

But when I listened to FLC8, I thought it should be worth double. It can nearly touch SE846 level. Treble and soundstage better. Bass and mids still SE846 better.

If I see any deals on the 3xx players, I'll be sure to share it as well. For me they're totally not worth the cash, but I know lots of people are interested, at least can help save some cash biggrin.gif You want to talk of outdated, still got lots of people using the 1xx series today also

Both, yes. It's semi-portable, so eventually will be taking it with me when I travel as well (as opposed to ultra portable, can just stick it in my pocket whenever I leave the house). Having fun with it so far, don't think I'll regret it at all.

Just waiting for the line out cable I ordered for my DAP to finally arrive, so in the meantime it will be sitting at home together with my full-sized headphones.

If I was in the market today, probably would go with the Onkyo DP-X1 (since I already have Hugo), but I've been using my Sony ZX2 for over a year now and still love it. The Opus#1 also is not bad, but not full Android.

ZX2 is good, but I seem to have problem when plugging in microsd card with E1 personal demo unit, not sure you have that problem or not.

I may give a try of Opus#1, but when surfing their webpage, they seem to have more product coming soon, which mainly using sabre ES9018k2M and ES9018 DAC

There are quite a lot of comments from both good and bad sides regarding Onlyo DP-X1, but I still need to listen to it before I place PO.

Never had that issue here. One annoying thing is you need to choose which microSD card to load at a time, it won't present both when you connect to PC. But I gradually fill it up one card at a time, so no problems.

The Opus guys website is still messy la, they need to get it sorted. I asked them at Canjam if they'll have a full Android DAP in future, seems like they're working on it.

i have this with me. the built quality is fantastic and its perfect for outdoor sports but i have problem with the fitting. just couldn't get the right tip for my ear. a lot of ppl are facing the same problem.

if you are looking for china IEM, there are many others out there that you could try. I also have the LZ-A2 which headfi members compares it to the sennheiser IE800. Extremely good hybrid for the price but i still prefer my modded JVC FX-1200. the original FX-1200 is just horrible as the bass is big and bloated. i always like single dynamic driver compares to hybrid of BA. i always find it more coherent with better bass response.

if you are interested in the R8, you can come look for me to test it out.

Short feedback on Angie.

Listening few song now, feeling much better, needs to adjusted on EQ and set to 9 o'clock bass, the sound signatures not that bad.

The sound slightly warmed, bass not that bad, mids balanced n treble quite clarity.

Correctly, unlike my 1st RHA T20 the first song feeling was "wow" damn dynamics driver.

Between the Angie quite good for song details and sound quality as well

In Honest Remax S1 sq really appreciated and details as well too, if never asked what's the brand ppls still getting confuse that model was expensive IEM.

Btw, don't think there ever is a "best" IEM. And almost all IEM that I've known to be flagship level in 2014 have replacements or better alternatives. And I believe there will going to be even better IEMs later.

Thought you already have Remax, bought Angie some more why still need new IEM? tongue.gif

Think about what you want first la, otherwise you'll never be satisfied. Personally, you willing to spend that much, try the Shure KSE1500. If you like it, worth saving up a bit more. If you want to try more stuff go to stores, meet ups and demo. Buying things you're curious about is not the way.

If you'd like to spend that much, might as well go custom.
At least then you can go Jaben or E1 or MS test one by one until you get the "wow", then only order.

Among customs ah, the one nearly gerenti everyone like is the Noble K10. But I don't have it.

You can also recommend him some of the rarer Unique Melodies. He liked the Merlin I think. I heard the Legacy and thought it tapaus everything else UM had. But I didn't listen to the Maverick which had really really good feedback from some headfiers.

For UM,the Japanese editions specifically, nothing beats the Maverick for cost/performance (based on my experience). If you really want to go for the top, it's the Mason, and the custom versions, of course. Only thing is I don't have my Maverick anymore, and it's not easy to find those to audition before buying. Want to give it a go, can contact me biggrin.gif

Ya lo, few JH universals I tried need to be plugged inside my ear deeply due to their longer nozzle.....really uncomfortable

That is why I am quite impressed with SE846 as how they manage the small size housing with 4 drivers inside.

But the down side of se846 is easily affected by type of eartips and cables

Heir Audio, betrayal, Noble, sabotage, K10... more or less. Headfi won't tell the full story but that's the gist of it. Don't know what he's like IRL but he's really been through a lot, and I respect his standing among CIEM brands today. Some of his wizzard designs are to die for.

I dont know yet, no news from Beyer yet.
Oriolus is quite amazing, female vocals impressed me most.
I am no friend of DIta, haha.
AKT8ie, hmmm, hard to explain, it is suitable for classical, instrument and OST, but for pops songs, it is not as good as SE846. If you have listened few Beyer cans before, you will find that it is not the typical Beyer sound, that is my opinion. smile.gif

Nah, just wondering if it's in the market, that's all. I'm happy with my K10 for now, don't think I'm missing anything in a similar price range.

And you should try to be there next year, the best part is being able to compare everything you've been curious about in a very short space of time. Day 1 was my general audition, Day 2 I was refining my shortlist to decide what's actually worth the money biggrin.gif

Working on the 1st one (009) right now, the 2nd one I need to sell a kidney first, so no, the 3rd one didn't justify the price, for me. But ask me again in 6 months biggrin.gif

I think your analogy is a bit invalid, if like that the new Orpheus by Sennheiser also not good la, can't be used with any other amp currently.

That's why I asked you earlier, you know what you actually want or not? Very surprised after spending so much money on an Angie, immediately want to buy something else. Better go to a few good stores and try out everything you're curious about first.

Edit: Btw, that's also why I only rely on reviews to a certain extent, in the end if it doesn't suit my tastes, 100 5-star reviews won't change my mind. Best to trust your own ears.

Tried the Hugo TT at the Stax table, it sounds fantastic together. The Hugo was also on-hand, and felt that it was close enough, considering the price.

Looking at the Dave design, probably can consume my annual salary liao laugh.gif

HE1000 is amazing headphone, it handles all sort of music genre very well. I guess the amplifier part is the most difficult to pair

Have to agree with the HE1k. It was magical sounding. Didn't even dare to ask what amp Stars Picker used to pair with it.

Hmmm, out of the 3, I've only tested the SE846 briefly in HK but that was a while back. I've actually wanted to test the IE800 for the longest time but that never happened. Keep hearing a few people saying it has a very close semblance to the full size HD800 sound stage / air.

But to be honest, I found the sound of HE1000 coming from that setup was not "clean" enough, probably need to to try different amplifier combination

i'd have to agree. the pairing sounds organic and smooth but lack certain oomph. i actually preferred pairing it with my liquid carbon.

yeah i did AB between Mojo against Master 7 with LC. the balanced/SE input switch makes it so easy to do a AB. just gotta level the volume. using HEK, i find the Master 7 to be slightly cleaner & transparent, with tighter bass. mojo is slightly warm, but able to drive the HEK with ample of power in reserve (i don't remember the volume level/color though).

haha, no way i'm selling/trading my mojo. in fact, my intention last Sunday at Stars Picker was to audition and get a balanced DAC for my LC. among my tested DACs were the master7, matrix mini-i pro, aune s16. i can't afford the master 7 so it was just for the heck of it. after testing for hours, i gave up. mojo beats matrix & aune hands down. while the master 7 edges out in terms of cleanness and transparency, it still cannot justify the >10k cost. i understand that i'm at the point where i'll get exponential diminishing return as i move up the cost ladder. so for now, the search goes on...

Think of it this way. The best headphones in the world can be had for the price of just an entry level Bimmer.

We're in the sane hobby. Car collectors, Swiss watch collectors now those are mad hahaha.

yeah i did AB between Mojo against Master 7 with LC. the balanced/SE input switch makes it so easy to do a AB. just gotta level the volume. using HEK, i find the Master 7 to be slightly cleaner & transparent, with tighter bass. mojo is slightly warm, but able to drive the HEK with ample of power in reserve (i don't remember the volume level/color though).

haha, no way i'm selling/trading my mojo. in fact, my intention last Sunday at Stars Picker was to audition and get a balanced DAC for my LC. among my tested DACs were the master7, matrix mini-i pro, aune s16. i can't afford the master 7 so it was just for the heck of it. after testing for hours, i gave up. mojo beats matrix & aune hands down. while the master 7 edges out in terms of cleanness and transparency, it still cannot justify the >10k cost. i understand that i'm at the point where i'll get exponential diminishing return as i move up the cost ladder. so for now, the search goes on...
*
Thanks for the reply. Your findings are very useful for me.

Anyway, why didn't you try the DAC-19? Much cheaper than the Master 7 but it's SE only. I believe the balanced input from the DAC to the LC is not important because the LC has a phase splitter that converts SE input from the DAC to balanced signal.

I'll repost what Dr. Cavalli mentioned earlier about this on Head-Fi...

But then again the discussion about a good SE DAC vs balanced DAC depends on how good the SE DAC to begin with.

Anyway I've found dynamic driver more impressive, just the song details not as BA driver.

Same as your m750 also much impressed than some IEMs selling higher than m750 laugh.gif

How does your mojo now?

One of the items in the initial list of things to try, but the AKT8IE didn't impress me, nothing remarkable about the sound signature, so didn't make it to my shortlist of repeat auditions on day 2. Competent, seemed well built, but forgettable.

yeah i know that. that's why i know i could AB between those DACs vs Mojo reliably. tbh, i don't find much difference between them. maybe that's just me or my hearing limitations. maybe my headphones are not resolving enough to let me tell the difference. there are subtle difference, but not day and night. definitely not a huge improvement to warrant the dough. so for now i'm happy with Mojo SE out to the LC.

Yeah, that's why I'm also tempted to go the Mojo route. Others may be slightly better but perhaps my ears and head gears would not be able to keep up with any noticeable changes to better sound. biggrin.gif

CIEM, but not Prestige, so no crazy woods. They look awesome, but don't think they sound better than regular customs, couldn't justify the extra cost.

I would also say Dita Truth, if you get the fit right. Delicate, airy and spacious.
And Oriolus. Very nice shimmer and exciting sound.

What was your feedback about the KSE1500?

The way I look at it, it's similar to Sennheiser and their Orpheus 2. Reputed to be the best at their niche (SQ for the Senn, aesthetics + SQ for the Prestige K10s), so basically it's worth whatever they charge. Since no competitors come close, there's no actual replacement product to compete on price.

For now, it's up to them what they want to charge, if there's an actual replacement in the market, then it might actually get cheaper. For me, I know my priority is always sound, but my budget isn't limitless, so no can do. If I win the lottery, I have at least 2 things to buy biggrin.gif

KSE? Good, but slightly too revealing/trebly. Tame it just a bit and it's wonderful.

And cut the price in half lol.

You're right about the market leaders... they dictate, others follow. I see Empire Ears experimenting with woods and gold too, but nothing at Wizard level yet. Link here.

Linum cables nice mou? They are interesting since the specs mention they add output impedance as well, like 1.5 to 4 ohm. Wonder if other cables do the same.

it's thin, doesnt yellow, even if you do you cant freaking see it anyways, and it has memory, if you drop it from hand, it will coil itself (if you coil it and keep it)

it's quite a technological phenom, but can be annoying at times too

got myself a little discovery, apparently the Shonyun 306a has waaay more muscle than magni, powering my HD650 to screaming guitars like in a live concert, Joe Bonamassa style

too bad it's battery powered so needs charging
it has no on/off switch if wondering.. need to unplug the headphone to switch it off laugh.gif

Scrolling from first page till here...Finally done reading this whole thread. biggrin.gif...See so much hypes on Chord Mojo. Going to sell my MSAK100S and some of my gears to invest one. As my LG V10 might be taking up the role as DAP most of the time on the road. @noobandroid Had you received your Chord Mojo? Would be great if you may share some impression smile.gif

Chord mojo is a amazing product, if wanna drive in high quality of sound should invest one.

Otherwise can't said "Wow" no matter how high end of ur IEM, after result just like a normal, something feel like no energy at all.

But just one thing to be take note.
After used, must be volume down and before switch off.

Just like my case on RHA T20i dunno is mojo or IEM itself had issue for 1 side broken sound, just bring back for 1 to 1 exchange for me.

High volume can be easily killing your IEMs on next day.

well, you ask for opinions/recommendations, yet you dismiss them with illogical argument or rebuttal. if you are so happy with your remax s1, stick with them. you want a good fitting ciem, yet not willing to fork out for brand new one. plan to get a used pair, but unwilling to pay/wait for reshelling. stick with universals then. you keep buying stuff, but do you know how to get the best out of each gear you gotten? different earphones have different synergy with different DAC/transport. yet you keep singing praise for your iOS player (i don't remember what app you use, not bothered to search for it either). my advice, use s1 + ur iOS player app = end game for you.

Remax S1 ok with me, nothing wrong with any IEMs pro & cons,must be tried the new or latest tech, otherwise life can't improve and value up.

Anyway just a personal speaker no matter good or bad.

iOS or android just a simple setup, nothing special for you.
But it is very common setup all in 1.

The bigger issue is money leh, bro.
Also time n issue.. Usually family man where got free.. To have time and travel all the way as what you like.

Yep.
Jupiter is aluminium.
Lyra is ceramic. Similar to IE800.

Jupiter is warm, same as IE800.
IE800 has a wider stage. But Jupiter is very, very coherent.

Jupiter is thicker sounding. IE800 is leaner.

Bass impact is almost the same.

Both has slightly different housing reverb (echo), or I'm imagining things.

Hard especially when you want to sell a first gen of product, perhaps you can let potential buyer to try before buying from. It will definitely consume your time but at least a way forward to let go.

The other thing is pricing issue, cant be too low or high, people always compare the price of the product

I think mostly due to the weak RM. Buy in USD when the RM was strong and sell in USD when the RM is weak.

Giving a rough example, buy at USD 1000 when USD to RM exchange rate at 3.8 and then sell at USD 900 when USD to RM exchange rate at 4.2.

I've done that a long time ago. Obviously trolling.
On one hand says that money is an issue. Then next moment will be asking for IEMs at $2,500. Then says he has no time to audition on his own. Got work and family. You think other folks don't have work and family?
Also asking stupid questions that can be found on Google. Google it Bro. We are not your Google. *drops mic*

Jupiter is up there with other TOTL iems, that's my impression of it. It definitely holds its weight. IE800? It's a hit or miss for many.
what do you mean aluminium shape uneven? It's well build.

IE800 sound very good, but fitting has a bigger issue..
Unlike V-Shape IEM, maybe u can try with Jupiter.

IE800 straight type vs V-shape definitely nice to fit and more comfortable

Jupiter is good also just the bodies shell slighly bigger like Angie, but lucky Angie still round shape don't have hanging problem.

Dafuq is a v-shaped IEM? I googled but can't see sheeet.

IE800 fitting issue? What kind of issue are you referring to? Coz IE800 if you hold it before, it's tiny. Really small. Almost disappear in your ears when you wear it. For Pete's sake someone even put the entire housing in a CIEM mould and it still fits nicely.

Hard especially when you want to sell a first gen of product, perhaps you can let potential buyer to try before buying from. It will definitely consume your time but at least a way forward to let go.

The other thing is pricing issue, cant be too low or high, people always compare the price of the product
*
Thats the best way to go.
Of course its normal for ppl to compare price. But its the point on how ppl evaluate the value of it for the price. AK is kinda like a premium brand in the field. And even the mod alone itself already cost 500usd. Weak currency is really a killer sad.gif

Ie800 the design such as UE tf10.
The fitting such as cantilever out from ear kernel with the cable was hanging down, once accidentally pull the cable might be dropping down easily.

Can fit as well, like used spinfit or comply.
Btw I had issue from piston 2, after had the piston 3 no issue at all, cause inlet ear slighly bending for comfort fit

IE800 design same as TF10? In what way?

user posted image

This picture is from Head-Fi thread. Did you notice how small it is? It can be worn straight down or over ear.

TF10 is over-ear IEM.

Anyway ie800 sound very impressed just for short while..

Maybe you have alternative options for shure 846, Jupiter
Cause the price is consider not as cheap here.

Should invest something on V-shape sound signatures was totally different, unless you really focusing on Bass portion

Still recalled it..

Usually in good cable of material such as silver plate or copper wires as well..

If wanna good in quality of sound should try with silver plate cable.. The transfer rate faster meant the sound quality was totally different, even grade of cable chord.

The rest I dunno.. Anyway just used back the stock cable was no different thing.

For example home fixed line used silver cable from Telekom should have meaning one.

Cables has nothing to do with transfer rate, it's the conductivity of each material which have different conductive values.

Nevertheless, if you can even hear audible difference. Good for you otherwise it's wiser to spend on better transducers.
