Apple iPod touch 6th Gen with iAudioGate.
Listened:
Coldplay Ghost Stories, Ellie Goulding Army, Linying - Alpine,Sticky Leaves
CAMPFIRE JUPITER
Campfire Audio Jupiter.
One of my impression, the tunes like very unique and clean, separate image with upper mids and sweet trebles with extension bass.
Jupiter has a wide sound stage, also do very fine of musics detailed, there was incredible even micro layers of guitar, drum, piano, jazz, rock, female vocals would be do the best presentation.
Jupiter built like a tank of the aluminum housing and well made quality with handcrafted in Portland, Oregon USA.
Comes with leather pouch and 2.5mm Balanced cable for Jupiter only.
Nowadays even China made quality would be selling much higher than these, for me worth this, cause no longer you can have it from the USA earphones and starter price as below $600 SGD.
Such as 4 BAs drivers like Shure SE846 made from China already, if compare to CA IEMs of the built quality, from CAs is the winner, no worried like shell cracked on some portion.
I'll don't think others brand IEMs can do the same thing, once you get the Jupiter for sure would be fall in love with their unique sounds.

JUPITER BINDLE WITH
Jupiter comes with extra 2.5mm balanced cable,
also well made leather pouch, i love that, even my wife she didnt knew, cause I've never take out from box.
Comes with 3 pairs of total 9 pieces eartips as well, especially comply foam.
CABLES AND HOUSING SHELLS DESIGN & IMPROVEMENT
Hopefully Campfire Audio can be resolving the sharper edges of design.
try to do with soften the internal edges of housing, would be solved the problem.
Actually the Tinsal cable come with soften memory wires, if they can do it harder can be resolved that bended shaped of ears to be increased that holding position as well.
From the cable length was 1.4m long, ins't common cable length, if they can do with standard as 1.2m should be fine to me.
IMPROVEMENT FOR ALO AUDIO SXC 24 MMCX CABLE
How to tells that single ended cable can be improve the sounds quality an over the original stock Tinsal cable.
For myself can't really believed that after tried with SXC24 after markets cable can be so much better than stock cable, how does the different, would be the feeling of sparkle and increased colorful of brighter musicals also enhance bass and detailed as well.
Once you get this try, for sure you will love it so much.
SOME COMPARISION
Jupiter to Shure SE846, RHA T20i, UM Merlin, JH Angie
846 has better balanced of overall sounds, but slightly lack of bass, from Jupiter has better detail and bass as well, my answer for only your ears will tells you.
If compare to RHA T20i has impact solid bass, but does not do sweet with mids and treble and less sparkler of T20, If compare with UM Merlin for sure i will pick up from Merlin there is another sound signature, the overall tunes are well bassy punchy for hybrid IEMs, but not WOW me.
JH Angie sound was good, but make do with Amp, my iPhone 6s can't drive up these, plug in Mojo should be fine, but found this lack of bass, can't even have a nice and sweet vocals, but Angie will do like warmer and smooth soundstage, Angie is not my favor too.
How bout the Andromeda? there is come from another planet, but myself quite excited for awaiting on hand.
Have minor input for CA Orion
I have tried with Orion the sound quite awesome, not even a single BA, but that output does not seem lack than 2 to 3 BAs for compare as others IEM, from the Orion do lesser sparkle energy than Jupiter only, but you would realized the sound quite similar to Jupiter.
The housing shell all are same of CAs IEM, maybe just the black colour are the looks slightly smaller than the rest.
MY CONCLUSION
I was guess most of the sounds are the objective and due to personal reference.
Jupiter sounds are the superb, nothing to be unsatisfied at all, actually what you needed.
Clean, sweet treble with better mids and fine detailed, all in 1 with 4 BAs drivers, Jupiter can do all.
I love that sound signature from Jupiter, each songs has amount of detailed, to be outcome all my songs are very enjoyabled, like a studio hall.
The overall factor = WOW
Added : CA IEMs not require for any Amp such as powerful amp, from my iPhone 6s, iPod Touch both are works very well performing.
