You should be fine with the small Symbio W then. If runs large and sits between the small and medium of the stock tips.- jmsalvador021

It sounds fuller(minimal improvement) and louder(very noticeable) on balanced compared to SE. you’ll notice the difference right away once you try it and even blind test it. Is it worth it? For me yes and all my gears i always go for balanced now except my m50x since i dont have a balanced cable...- jmsalvador021

I tried both Symbio N and Symbio W. For me Symbio W is better sound-wise.- jmsalvador021

*WARNING: Wall of Text* I am using Nocturnal Acrux Pure Silver 4-Cores balanced cable. I chose pure silver to make my IMR R1 more airy and make the mids more forward. The sound improvement is very minimal though but it sounds louder compared to stock cables. I have also tried 8-core copper...- jmsalvador021

I auditioned the Mojo last night. It sounds thicker and fuller compared to my XDP-300R dap(only tried it with the black filter because i forgot to bring the other filters). I’ll definitely buy one soon. The store owner tried my IMR R1 and hes so impressed how big the soundstage is . He said its...- jmsalvador021

Personally I would go for Cayin N5ii with that budget. Good SQ, features, and UI. Hidizs ap200 id stay away from that. Very buggy.- jmsalvador021

Hi man. I only have auditioned these players so far: Cayin N5ii = warm to neutral Fiio X5iii = warm Pioneer XDP-300R = balanced, neutral sounding (i decided to get this from those 3) These are all android-based daps as i listen to streaming most of the time. But still have a good collection of...- jmsalvador021

Pink Filter x Symbio W Now its sounding better than Pink Filter + JVC Spiral Dot combination. It gets uncomfortable on my ears after an hour of listening though.- jmsalvador021

Going balanced will make your IMR R1+ES100 sound louder for sure. And maybe about 10% SQ upgrade. Based on what ive read around regarding cables: Pure copper = adds warmth SPC = improves mids Pure silver = improves mids + treble extension Even though the SQ upgrade is minimal, i personally...- jmsalvador021

I have auditioned the Shanling M0 and its actually pretty good. Pretty impressed on how it can deliver at such size. However i went on getting the ES100 over the Shanling M0 as its a better combo on my smartphone(Tidal, Spotify. But the Shanling M0 can do this also) when im not using the...- jmsalvador021

I personally wouldnt consider it an upgrade in terms of SQ since they sound differently. I decided to get the 300R for its features. (Yes i may sound nuts that im not saying the 300R is better, thats how good the ES100 is! I think it sound similar to fiio x5iii, ES100 being slightly better!)...- jmsalvador021
