    Lol, you'd hope so at 5-6 times the price of the Trio (assuming the AliEx pre-order prices are correct)

    Don't be saying that, people around here can get a bit sensitive to that kinda talk

    I kind of get that. My understanding is graphs are frequency sweeps. But what about, if for example, a single piano note was graphed over time? Obviously a single piano note is a frequency range. Would an IEM that is deemed to be technically good have a more defined shape to the range compared...

    Thanks, have you tried it? Stable? Issue with track order resolved?

    I'm still struggling as to what classifies as midfi. For those that have heard the CCA Trio, do you think these are midfi? If so or not, why? Obviously the Trio doesn't qualify to those that judge midfi by price, but what about performance? Not trying to create a flame war, just discussion...

    Best IEM tips?

    The downside to that is they fall off smaller nozzles and get stuck in ears.

    Mine are HD6xx's (modded) rather than 600's. Still never heard the 600

    Nice. Any issues with the fit? Think it will be $249, same as R4.

    I'm 50 myself but am lucky that I have a much younger colleague that shares her music finds with me. A lot are not my cup of tea, but there is the occassional gem. She uses crappy beats with the worst bluetooth but refuses to be drawn into changing! Fair play though, after all she is a single mum.

    Only cheap R2R DAP i can think of Hiby RS2, which I own. RS2 has not got bluetooth or streaming, so limited to internally saved music. The DAC section is good but the amp is weak, so doesn't get the best out of most of the iems I own. 3.5mm line out is good for use with external amp. No 4.4mm...

    I've never been one for EQ. Luckily my appreciation of the Legato is increasing, so will probably leave untouched. I received the Trio and Legato recently. The Legato is getting most of the ear time. The Legato was 3 times the price of the Trio, so not really a fair comparison. Whilst I...

    Assuming that this is the Legato, I had been contemplating taking mine apart to see if there was any space behind the face plate to add some material to potentially reduce resonance within the shell. The image you have shared would suggest not. Additionally wondered about drilling a hole (or...
