Thanks Kiats for the detailed impressions (and Steve too!). Indeed the MEMS speakers benefit a lot from additional power. The Onix with its balanced output of 5W @ 32Ohm is far more powerful than the little AP0, hence your impression of more flourished signature

Back at Canjam Singapore I had a seminar about MEMS and their characteristics, which would explain why MEMS speakers scale a lot with different sources. Let me see if I can reuse it over here.

Yeah... It really scaled up wonderfully with the Unix Miracle. I suspect that this definitely one of the direction in which the development of any future energizer can take. Because the sound quality was really stunning.

Please do share! I missed that seminar (because I didn’t go to canjam ). I’ve always been curious about that “scaling” characteristic and how one can engineer to make that happen.

My Mems-3S arrived this afternoon. I was able to benefit from a very generous trade in on my mems-2. Currently I am listening through my Diablo 2, which has the driving power and as the D2 is Mems ready it removed the need for the EP0. Hawkwind's latest album is a good workout for the Mems-3s as the album covers quite a genres of sound. I am very impress so far. Much more detail than the Mems-2 and the open back really helps the the flow of sound.

With the Diablo 2, you can enjoy more sound tuning options as the xMEMS mode on the Diablo 2 is EQ-ed internally. You can try connecting it straight from the Diablo 2 running Normal or Turbo to the AP0 energizer to get the non-EQ signature, which is also very impressive in its own way!

I gave it a try but using the FiiO Q15 on Bluetooth, It's very impressive. Later today I am going to see if the ifi go blu has enough power through the AP0.
