@FullCircle A while ago I posted about my set of K10 losing all frequency response < 30hz. I've since managed to fix it myself, by accident I realised the issue wasn't the K10, but that my ear canals had gotten larger so I no longer got an adequate seal. Went out and grabbed so clear nail...

As you've said, it's old. That's really the only reason. It's still a fantastic set, probably my favourite. I even bought a new pair a year or so ago as I used to own them when they came out but had traded them off and always missed the sound.

Sorry haven't been in this thread for awhile. Can you provide any information on where you got it from and your impressions so far?

Thanks, I'll give it a go. Currently using blacks with no filters. I got the Galaxy S21 and lack of 3.5mm gave me an excuse to buy a bluetooth DAC as I find the Dragonfly Cobalt a bit inconvenient with my phone. Got the Fiio BTR3 and wow I wish I bought this earlier, it's replaced DFC for me...

What is the thrish mod?

Yeah tested with Spotify and Youtube and made sure volume is set to maximum in both, output from DFC is extremely quiet in all apps and with system sounds too. Same here I used it at 2/100 most of the time too, now with volume maxed everywhere possible it's too quiet.

Having a strange volume issue with DFC. Prior to a couple days ago I had to keep my windows volume < 10 or the DFC was too loud. Now even if I set windows volume to 100 it's still too quiet? Volume is fine when using my phone. Is anybody aware of what might be happening?

Following your recommendations, finally got Dragonfly Cobalt. Pairs exceptionally well with se846.

Has anyone tried this Tiandirenhe hybrid? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000550748153.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.5.6d381153raZuim

If a cable has enough resistance to change the FR then it is defective.

You're beating a dead horse. This has been proven time and time again. If you have 2 cables that meet the requirements of the system, then there will be no measurable difference between them. This isn't some objective thing where we can all have our own opinions, cables just dont affect sound...

Yes I always enjoy looking at local hifi sites and seeing cables for many thousands of dollars. You gotta be quite special to think that price range is reasonable lmao. Cost of materials and labor is so small that any of these cables can be homemade at a fraction of the cost

A cable is not holding your gear back as cables have no impact on sound.

Firstly, I would never buy a cable for sonic fidelity as they dont change the sound. Cables upgrades are for aesthetics or build quality. Secondly, does he realise he could make the same cables for much much less himself?

The plain copper one is 299. The tri-hybrid is 600. In the product page under wire there is a drop down list with all the prices. The pure litz silver version is 1300 lmao!

You're taking the piss right? 600 bucks a cable? That's absolutely insane. And did you actually read the "sound analysis" in that review? Verbal diarrhea.

Someone was definitely on drugs. Yup was referring to kb ear F1. Never thought I would like single ba but it's currently my favourite IEM (bellsing model).

Thanks for the tips on KS1, just ordered. Also grabbed MT1 as TRN store was willing to give discount. Can't wait! Still preferring my F1 over all my TOTL sets, just something so catchy about the KBEAR house sound.

Thanks for the honest responses, think I'll let them go as sounds like they dont offer anything special.

Guys, is Kbear KS1 as good as some of you are making it out to be or is it just hype? Been taking a break from my Noble CIEMs to enjoy guilty pleasure chi-fi and currently loving my F1. How does KS1 compare to F1?

It's been proven time and time again that cables, of the correct specification for the system, measure identical. However, what has also recently been proven is that bias can actually change how our brain processes the signal, resulting in the same signal sounding different. If you expect cable...

While listed as 9 ohm, 846 reaches down to 4-5 ohm for some frequencies, requiring <0.5ohms. At 1 ohm OI there is a very noticeable attenuation of high frequencies. Im just not sure if 0.65 OI is low enough to be interdiscernible. This graph demonstrates the effect of OI on SE846...
