Looking forward to the next review, Jelt.  May I offer a suggestion?  "Fit for a Dap", the ultimate Dap-off.  Daps should be able to fit into a pocket IMO to be considered portable.

After you've finished your CIEM reviews of course. =P  Patiently waiting for the next review.  My A12's will be in tomorrow, what songs/binaural audio do you suggest I put them to the test with?

Yes Jason please be so friendly as to buy $10.000 worth of daps, so we can finally hear the differences between them from a reliable source

Im thinking there are some daps in the $800-1000 range that are just as good as the ak380, people just don't realize it.  Jelt's golden ears can surely tell us which is best.

I really hope all the TOTL debates didn't take the wind from Jelt's sails... As of this post, it's been 24 days since his last review in this thread! I bet the delay is completely justified, like work or life events coming up, but I for one am really looking forward to the next installment!

Add me to your comments. I get some people disagreeing, but really how many people actually own that many TOTL iems to disagree to hear another iem may be better. I get their frustration, specially after making such a big investment. But I like these reviews and feel they are objective. Keep them coming!

thinking, or hoping?  I have not heard the 380, so I will not guess.  I think that once you rule out the bad players, there is a 'you get what you pay for' ranking that holds pretty much true among the top-shelf daps.

Ha! Nice, you've been counting! Well, if I wasn't ready for comments or debates I wouldn't post in a forum
 
Work got in the way- it's peak period all of a sudden. Next installment coming soon...

I have one comparison coming, but it's a DAC/Amp-off. Only two in there, actually:
 
Alo Continental Dual Mono
Chord Hugo
 
Depending on how it goes I may do more. Doing source comparisons is actually easier than IEMs!

Were the CIEMs given as review samples or did you pay for all of them? Would be good to have that disclosure.

Oooh, I for one would be mighty interested in this comparison (and in how they pair, actually). Really looking forward to this one!
No pressure, though.
