Hi,   I am interested in the above two equipment but have some questions.   1) For the Cypher Labs DAC, it has a coaxial out. I understand that this is a digital signal out. The Cypher Labs Solo is a DAC so why would it have a digital out? Shouldn't a DAC have an analog out only? What is...

I'm looking for a new pair of iem's and the Heir audio 3 have peaked my interest but I'm not sure whether to go for the custom or universal, I know there are obvious benefits to the custom but is the extra expense and lack of wood finish as standard still worthwhile. If anyone has heard both and...

Hi. Looking for some thoughts. I am looking at CIEMs at the moment to use at work and maybe sleep in. i also have slightly odd shaped ears so ofen find IEMs uncomfortableLooking for a well balanced sound that may be a touch, and I mean a touch warm. Will be listening to mostly rock on iPod...

Hi, After being in the UIEM erea for about 2 years im thinking about jumping into the CIEM level (yes i know you can get a better sound for less money in some cases, but i want to try custom)   I have 4 models in mind:   1.) Alclair referance 2.) Noble 3C 3.) Heir 3A 4.) CTM CT300  ...

Hi everyone,   As of late my home rig, a LD MKIII with Sennheiser HD650's has been getting little use as I find myself doing work at the office and the library. I've been putting a lot of use into my IE7's. They are great but I've had them for the last 3 years and I think it's now time for...

Hi all, Apologies for the generic nature of the post, but I'm trying to garner as much feedback as possible.   Yesterday, I managed to misplace my pride and joy Sennheiser IE8 IEMs (totally gutted - I've had them for about a year) so I'm looking around at alternatives before I make my next...

 Let me start by stating that I have had an assortment of different IEM's, both dynamic and balance armatures, in the past and as such I have had the pleasure to deal with many different companies in the past few years.  Although I have never had any major issues or problems in my past...

I plan on entering the custom iem market for a set of entry level iems, and I've come along with some interesting alternative options.  Firstly, I see that many companies will reshell universal BA IEMS for something like 100 bucks.  Then I see that I can get something like the westone 4 or shure...
