I just paid for them, Oh well.

No discount, no gift. I hope that they're worth it!

Received my davinci today.

First impression: Great bass. Deep, rumbly. The low end richness gives the sound a very speaker-like feeling. The mids and highs are just approriate. Not shouty, not harsh or veil. Overall sound quality definitely lives up to the hype.

Build quality is ok. The finish of the nozzle feels a bit rough. Not sure if it's just my unit. The cable is quite soft which is nice. No issue with fit. Feels comfortable so far.

My wait is finally over!

My first impressions are that these are built like a tank. They are smooth, the sound is smooth, and the midrange is neither thin nor thick, just perfect.
They are very resolving without being harsh, sibilant or bright. They are smooth to my ears. They extend both ends endlessly with great separation.
The highs are very well done and the bass is very separated from the rest and digs very deep with great quality.
Then the soundstage came in, it is good, very good set.
I can’t find anything bad about them. They are very good. Im happy.

I can say with confidence Linsoul Jupiter x HBB you are in trouble.

Edit 1:
First Day:
The soundstage is multi-layered.
I want to mention that these are towards the bright side.
The "s" and "sh" sounds are present along with the trebles which is what I was expecting,
However it is done right at the edge of being harsh or sibilant but still remains smooth and very pleasant to my ears. Is not shouty at all to my ears.
The emphasized 6khz and upwards adds some extra resolution to the midrange as I can clearly hear moving lips and breath, the timbre of instruments is too realistic.

As present as the treble is the bass can also be present and when it calls for it, it will deliver like a champ with great separation between mid and sub bass . It can deliver, so bassheads you’ll get it.

I said Linsoul Jupiter x HBB, you are in trouble because when I first bought them, I was like, Where is the clarity , this too much bass ? Why did I pay so much when it is somewhat lacking in clarity ?
Some may find that the timbre on the Glacier is on the digital side but I hear clarity - realistic - vivid - real life sound.

Dunu did well by opting for this kind of tuning as it shows they are different from the rest of the competition.

Edit 2:
Second day:
Tip rolling, short cheap tips, no sibilance, no harshness, very extended highs and intense trebles.
You see my name, MaxBass?
Turn up the volume to max, burn them with house music, G house let’s see if they can handle it. The bass becomes extremely powerful, with a very contrasting sound and an intense soundstage that expands outside my head. Very coherent sound. Push them to the next level of volume. They are good, they can handle it, no issues. Can they slam like the Fatfreq Scarlet Mini? Easy peasy as the bass here is also better quality. Tips are very important with the Glacier as I ended up with some cheap short tips to make them as smooth as possible .

This IEM may not be for everyone ( Has this Dunu Bite if you had before Dunu you know what I mean but less with the right tips the bite is not present or is less depending the track ) as it is treble forward and contrasty with Excellent Bass and outstanding sound quality but it still has a very realistic timbre with top notch technicalities.The soundstage is different from the competition as everything blends together instead of individual sounds popping out and hearing individual drivers working distracting.

I will take a break for now and enjoy and i will try to review in the next days to ensure I'm not being overly enthusiastic about my new IEM. I will take some time and provide my personal opinion along with precise comparisons.

Peace

Congratulations on getting your Glacier! I noticed you used words that I also used to describe it, like "realistic sounding." I remember mentioning in my video that some instruments and voices sounded incredibly lifelike and realistic, a sensation I've only experienced with STAX headphones. Make sure to experiment with different ear tips to get a good seal, as these are among the most resolving IEMs I've encountered. They reveal every detail in the recording; if it's poorly recorded, you'll know it immediately. I can easily hear breaths and guitar string slides.

While I haven't tried EQing them, you can use PEQ to tailor the sound to your liking. I've been in this hobby for some time, and after getting the Glacier, I felt like I could stop with IEMs right there. I'm completely satisfied with the sound. I now want to focus on enjoying music and perhaps upgrade my speakers in the future. I'm happy for you and hope you enjoy your Glacier!

And now for the final question: do you like the Glacier's bass, MaxBass? LOL

 

[atechreviews]

For those people who are interested in more information about the Glacier:

The weird stuff:

This may be the cleanest sounding IEM ever and with the right tips it is ultra smooth.

They have impact and sound good at very low volumes. Yes, you heard that right you can feel and hear their impact even at minimum volume. Some sounds are so natural that they feel more real than real life it's hard to describe. Ambient sounds like birds, windband echoes sound so realistic that I wonder how this is even possible. Especially the echoes they sound exactly like echoes which is so amazing. I've never heard something so realistic and well done.
The cymbals, hi-hats, and strings are so realistic that they exceeded my expectations with this IEM. It's like the housing of the IEM or something inside is giving them extra extension and making them in a way chill.
Are so unique.

I agree with everything you've said. I suspect the housing material might have something to do with it. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who feels that way about the Glacier.

Hi, thank you so much ,

Yes, the bass is perfect, I can say because it doesn’t bleed into the mids at all and the separation between mid-bass and sub-bass is very good .
I pay a lot of attention to the transition between mid-bass and sub-bassand is also very distinct from the mids. The mids are not cold or thick with zero bass bleed into the mids which is awesome. The star of the show for me is not the bass or the mids but the highs. The presentation is coherent and clear and everything blends together very well creating a surround style soundstage. It's difficult to detect the EST drivers working whereas with other sets I've tried it's easy to tell when the electrostatics are active.

With the stock tips, I don't like it as much because it's edgy and has the "Dunu bite," but with wide bore soft silicone eartips I like it a lot as everything blends so well together and extends like a champ.

I can see that if you compare this IEM with others that have a more analog type of sound, you might say it has a digital timbre. But to be honest it's like comparing CD quality with cassette or FM radio quality or Vinyl „Analog“ ? Something like that. ? it can sound so crystal clear. !! It sounds like very high end speakers that have digital input ? Something like that which is awesome.

I agree with everything you've said. I suspect the housing material might have something to do with it. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who feels that way about the Glacier.

It’s 100% true that in some cases, instruments, strings and echoes have extra extension which makes them feel chill. The trebles and echoes can extend like nothing else I've had before but not on every track. I've been buying and selling IEMs for years and I thought I might sell this one too, but no, it’s different, and I’ll keep it, Hahaha. It’s something so unique. I don't know if they did it on purpose or if it was just lucky tuning, but it deserves to be kept. For me this says a lot.
I can easily get lost in other dimensions with this one.
Yes, it is a winner.

No No No .
I don’t like using EQ with this, it’s perfect as it is. I don’t want to lose anything from what it offers.

I don’t know if you have tried different cables with this IEM. I know I may now venture into "snake oil" discussions but I have the feeling that the harmonics do change and I feel like I gain a bit more from what it offers .
I know, I know, it may be my imagination, It sounds crazy , i have cables from different IEMs and i just use them.

Before buying the Glacier, I viewed all the video reviews on YouTube as I couldn’t buy something this expensive without research.

I agree with everything you said.

You mentioned that I have used some words similar to those in your ATechReviews video review like realistic sounding, natural etc which is true.

I also referenced terms like "digital timbre" from Gizaudio’s video review, which is also true.

Additionally, I mentioned that it sounds like high-end speakers from in Ear-Fetish Zios's review and the amazing echoes which is also accurate .

Lastly I agree with Super* Review video review which noted that it can be on the scratchy side , but this is true to my ears only with the stock ear tips and poor DAC/amp pairing.

However no one mentioned the "Dunu Bite," which you would only know if you had Dunu before as main IEM as it’s part of their house tuning.

In all my previous posts I have described exactly how and why they sound like this.

I understand that ears may be different and we may perceive sounds differently but I can hear and understand everything each reviewer has described and experienced.

With my experience it is just like you said and described and I totally agree with you.

This IEM can sound really Excellent.

 

[DUNU-Topsound]

@DUNU-Topsound When will the successor to the dunu vernus be released? I am waiting patiently for this one because I need an outstanding male vocalist iem.

Man you still remenber vernus. Last time I did hear something about a DD IEM was prepared for the meeting..but the details were not decided yet.

 

[DUNU-Topsound]

A new straight q lock cable?

Yes we call it Q-lock mini and the lyre mini of $29.99 is on offer now.

 

[DUNU-Topsound]

I wish they would sell the light gray tips somewhere...

I think you can send us an email and my colleague will get it done. Actually the postage is too expensive so it's not usually sold separately.

 

[droid23]

Last time I did hear something about a DD IEM was prepared for the meeting..but the details were not decided yet.

Yesss, please make an endgame 1DD or 2DD IEM ...for under 500 bucks and I throw you my money!

btw, my favourite IEM's at the moment are the SA6 MkII... and DaVinci is coming, so you have a customer and fanboy right there.. please tell them to make a DD (shhh, I also do like my NiceHCK Himalaya 1DD a lot, but a Dunu one would be surely awesome)

Then next time I'll make sure to ask some insightful questions during the meeting.

 

[droid23]

Then next time I'll make sure to ask some insightful questions during the meeting.

Would be cool! ...and there's a clear new trend for well implemented and engineered single DD's ...and if someone is able to shake up the competition, it's Dunu, isn't it? (cf DaVinci)

 

[DUNU-Topsound]

Hey have a question. My first intro to Dunu was the 2001, then the 3001. The 3001 was my go to for a few years it was so good. And looking forward to this new cable and an upcoming new hybrid IEM.

Speaking about cables, there has been discussion about what manufacturers do in regards to selling their IEM's with the stock cable, and how that works into the development process. Are your IEM's sold with the expectation that people will upgrade them or do you send a specific cable with x properties out as the stock cable? Or is it just way more casual than that?

Is it safe to assume you make multiple iterations of a IEM to get to or find the sound you want to bring to market? So during this entire process of getting the IEM to where you are happy enough with it to bring it to market, do you maintain a sort of chain integrity throughout this process? From the source to the cable basically. But especially the cable. Do you keep the cable the same during the process or is it just grab any random cable that reaches x spec. how do you decide which cable to ship as the stock cable with your IEMs? Does it relate to the development stage in any way? How similar is the stock cable vs the development process cables, etc...

Would love to get a little insight on this fascinating process. Thanks!

Please forgive me for taking so long to reply. Hope you still remember this conversation. In fact, last month when I saw this question, we were already preparing for the overseas launch of the Lyre Mini, but details including pricing were only finalized recently. I think now we'll be better able to address this question.

Firstly, regarding the stock cables for our IEMs, yes, we conduct extensive selection during the development stage of the IEM. However, due to product positioning, pricing, and other factors, besides ensuring that the material and quality of the cable match the desired user experience, considerations such as the outer appearance design, hardware design, whether to make interchangeable plugs, and which type to make will also be comprehensively evaluated.

Additionally, we believe that for the enthusiasm of HiFi, cable selection is not exclusive. For example, regarding cable upgrades, some stock cables may be limited by cost and may not meet everyone's expectations. In such cases, we hope to satisfy users' desire for upgrades. That is exactly why we make the Lyre Mini at $29.99. For higher-positioned products, our idea is to provide users with more choices.

Seems reviews of the DaVinci are starting to come out:



The comments on the bass not bleeding have me interested as I have liked a bassier IEM in the past. It also graphs not too far off a Hype 4 down that end though perhaps a touch warmer.
