Review: Unique Melody Miracle 6 driver custom IEM - Page 13

Just got my Miracle today, and was very happy with it.

But somehow I feel like the mid is a little laid back  and too airy for my taste.

And if the source sound... like 128kbs, it turns out sucks, too. Is this true ?

Could you recommend a good portable amp to pair with the Miracle ? (Traditional combo with itouch 4 + LOD)

I love Pop and Classical, btw

Thanks in advance 

Upgrade your source my friend.

There's no point buying a Ferrari and filling her up with low grade petrol.
Your source needs to be at least 256kbps for Miracle to work her magic.
128kbps files are for ibuds.

What he said.

Yep, what distinguishes a high-end IEM from a low-end bud is it's handling of the extremes of the audio spectrum and it's far greater resolving power, along with its convincing presentation of auditory positional cues. Every single one of these factors relies upon good source material because it is precisely these micro details, so critical to a realistic, convincing auditory performance, that a lossy highly-compressed file discards.

 

When you say source you make it sound like he needs to upgrade his itouch.  What he really needs to do is upgrade his music files =)

 

Ahh, but you're reading one word and taking it out of context;

 

I said source ​material ! 

I was talking about joe's comment.

My mistake.

 

Apologies.

Yeah, I questioned about that because reviewer said the Miracle could go along with any source type

I tried my Miracle on Studio V2 and Colorfly C4 with flac and the sharpness still there, it's quite annoying to my ears.

Some guys mention that this beauty needs burn-in, is it necessary ?

 

Btw, you guys haven't answer me about the amp

Did you try to listen to a sine sweep?

If there is a significant and narrow peak in the treble (around 6kHz - as the Miracle graph shows), then it isn't curable

Anybody with a Miracle who would like to chime in on this?

I am considering buying the Miracle ...

 

I agree that a peak is seen in most headphones and iems in that area, but they are much, much less than the one seen in the Miracle's graph. If the peak only reached a little higher than the bottom third of the spectrum I wouldn't be concerned. The Miracles peak is 10-15dBs, and that's huge. However, if it isn't audible because it's measurement artifacts, then it's okay of course.

Is there any by chance that UM made a mistake with my Miracle ?

Cause after some burn-in and source changing nothing was improved. Should I send back my pair along with my complaints ?

BA IEMs don't need burn in.
