I'm using it to burn in the unit, not listen to music ;). Figured I could also burn in those ear buds at the same time. So you are hoping the adapter fixes an issue you have with the 4Ai's sound?

No...actually I just tried the airline adapter...it sucks. LOL

 

I really like the 4Ai's sound. Flat, clean, and clear. I am interested in how those 8A's sound though...

Why on earth would you spend all that dough on an ultra-low-impedance output, only to throw a 75ohm adapter into the mix?! deadhorse.gif

I'll need to do more comparing and extended listening but my early thoughts are that the RWAK100 rivals the UHA-6s with OPA209 for transparency, resolution and articulation.  Especially with the TG334.  It's a technically superb combo.

The 8As are euphoric and musical sounding. Expansive sound stage for a BA, bass-heavy but very well controlled and deep bass. Its an integrated sound. Non-fatiguing for long listening sessions and due to its nature, its a great all-arounder with many genres of music. It excels in Rock music in particular which is a bit tricky for most IEMs to be honest.

I hope my unit continues to improve. So far it is starting to impress me but still not the best sounding DAP in my possession currently. We'll see.

No not true. The DX100 is more temperamental that it :)
