I think i appreciate the fact that the Alita is such a fantastic all rounder. I’ve been listening to jazz, EDM, metal, pop, hip-hop on it and it has the technical chops to make every genre sound great.

Indeed! I recently got the Alita and i cannot stop listening to it. To me at least it has excellent bass slam too, despite not having any switches. It hits really hard and fast. Definitely not DD level slam but very, very satisfying for all BA bass.

I reckon Alita should be discussed more, i find that it sounds like a more refined NP, with a much wider soundstage ( better spatial cues ). NP is great for metal but the Alita is a great all rounder imo.

lol same, any one know what it is for?

I guess i have to preface it by mentioning that i prefer a brighter sound signature, so this is right up my alley. I can see why someone that is more sensitive to treble might find these fatiguing tbh. But gosh that bass is seriously freakin’ amazing. The bass hits with both quantity and...

Got mine! i’ve got to say I’m very impressed at first listen. the sub bass slam on these things are very good ( not for the price good, just GOOD ). i hate the stiff cable with the near useless cinch though ( it is literally just a metal ring that needs to be pulled almost all the way up to...

Dropped them an email early yesterday but have yet to hear back from them. Patience i guess!

Same here. Dropped them an email to ask for the tracking number...let's see if they reply.

no worries man, not your fault at all. AEworks in mysterious ways lol.

meh. doesn't for me as well. Noticed that Nicehck has A LOT of coupons that don't work. pity, there seem to be plenty of discounts that don't apply on the store.

Seri it's adequate but more power won't hurt. The quattros sounded even more vivid after i swapped the RU7 for the Topping G5. They do suck up all the power you can throw at them.

Seems like it would work well with a 1 bit dac or R2R dac/amp

ah! Singapore? i did ask them about the Origin too, they mentioned that they have ready stock.

The P8s are underrated too imho. such a clean sounding set that doesn't really get much attention around here.

Current rotation includes the Monarch Mk 3, Penon Quattro and Aur Audio Neon Pro. I occasionally bust out the Sony IER-Z1R when i feel like listening to some EDM. Thinking of getting a full DD set....perhaps the EA1000 or Timsok? ( The Timsok is pretty pricey though ).

Oriveti OD200 or the new Tanchjim Origin......decisions, decisions.

Both the Serial and Quatrro need serious power to sound alive. I used the Topping G5 and both sound much better than off a dongle. ( I have the RU7 too ).

The cable that came with the Quattro is just fine. Please don’t go spending a ludicrous amount on cables ( unless you already have them lying around ). If anything pair them with an amp that has a lot of power. They sounded fine off my cayin ru7 but really opened up once i ran them off my...

Really appreciate the detailed breakdown. I seem to be leaning towards the Timsok at the moment - the higher energy in the midrange and treble is especially appealing, that and the (possibly) more coherent nature of a DD seems to be a win. I've been looking for a replacement for my Sony EX1000...

Hey Leonarfd, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I love your taste in music. Would like to ask how you would compare the Timsok to the Aur Audio Ascension? I have the NP that I love but the thought of having a good sounding DD set is quite alluring. I’d be using the RU7 and Hiby R6 pro ii as well.

This is my take on the Quattro as well. Take the Serial and add in more refinement and detail retrieval and you get the Quattro.

Is this higher up in the product lineup than the KA5?

i guess it just goes to show how audio / audiophilia is in nature divisive. People naturally have preferences that are while innate, can vary from time to time per their mood and even time of day. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It is not a dyed in the wool situation whereby...

Chef's kiss.
