I’m still very pleased with the BA10, ZAX, and DQ6. I wish KZ would take their successful models, and fine tune/update them well. Newer, smoother sounding BAs for the BA10, and a faster, more detailed DD for the ZAX. I’m not sure what specifically to improve upon on the DQ6, other than better drivers in general, for better technicalities?

Just put kbear 8 core graphemes enhanced cable on em. Very fluid now tone improved bass better controlled. Very coherent! DS strikes again!

@PhonoPhi, waiting on your reply.

I don't have any complaints about the DQ6 technicalities at the price it is. But if the upgrade is going to be more expensive, then better technicalities is always a welcome upgrade. What I think they should work on, is to remove the treble peaks.

Just put kbear 8 core graphene enhanced cable on em. Very fluid now tone improved bass better controlled. Very coherent! DS strikes again!

And I didn't even tell you about the graphene on the SG-03. We are on the same psychic wave Dr. Blue.

I really do like the looks and feel of this cable. I also have the KBEAR 8 core version. I’m currently using it with my Clair.

@PhonoPhi, waiting on your reply.

Are there any measurements to prove anything beyond subjective opinions?

Different people hear different things, especially while reviewing stuff, it is their business...

Nope.

Just messing with ya. I know the whole “graphene” cable thing is one of your pet peeves.

Me too

The peeve of mine used to be the people "hearing cables", especially those "free samples", for a totally unbiased opinion. Then I gave up - caveat emperor

Some irony is that I will get my "graphene" cable soon, I ordered a custom L-to-straight balanced interconnector and gave the freedom of choice to the cable manufacturer.
So now, when combined with my mighty blue cables, I will hardly even need IEMs - just the jaw-dropping sound of cables alone, and I am sure that I will be able to express my subjective opinion so overpowerfully that the "resistance" will be so totally futile, boo-ha-ha

I also think blue cables sound best, so very airy, but the graphite color of the “graphene“ cables are a close second. They provide a nice grit to the music.

Again, kidding aside, it seems to be a very high quality cable, so I like it.

Very tempted by the SG-03, but I already have way too many IEMs. I need to thin the herd.

8 hours of listening into Yume, I glimpsed a hint of LCP driver like touch, switched to Azla Xelastec, boom! Finally some sense of bass.

decided to remove acoustic filter.
Tools used:

Removed filter: still reattachable

Removed filter nozzlr, oh hey now it looks like Blessing2


Output: ah that’s my boy! Finally. More coherent bass, good pinna gain hits, better resolution and imaging, better air presentation, I may add some less density filter like those came with blessing2 instead.

This is my 4th time removing this kind of “super congested” high density filter from IEMs, these type of filter do one thing “boost quantity of sub bass in exchange of great sacrifice of sound purity, coherence, dynamic range presentation”. Now I’m fully aware this kind of acoustic filter is my immediate subject to remove.

Bofore: tonality A+, technicalities C
After: tonality S, technicalities B

Sound Signature alternation:
Before:Harman tuning with clumsy sub-bass boost
After: basically bright-neutral with some sense of sub-bass, reminiscent to Thieaudio Monarch with slightly leveled sub-bass.

It’s eargasm-able! Recommended with AZLA xelastec(any LCP type fits well with this tip). Low gain mode on DAP recommended after removing the filter, better technicalities guaranteed with low gain.

might doin the same with my unit just for fun, looks like good upgrade since there is no peak in stock and probably won't result any peak either after taking off the filter

hmmm interesting, now waiting my yume come back (friend borrow it xD)

Any budget and sound preference?

I prefer a more bass-driven sound signature and one of the reasons why I liked the LZ-A4s was I was that I could customize it and change it around every now and again.
Budget probably $200-$250 mark.

I have a few iems and headphones in the higher end of the spectrum already ($1,000-$3,000), so I'm after a more casual pair where I can use whilst on the train and just something a bit different, as I've owned these for about 4ish years now.

 

[cappuchino]

Contrary to my initial claims, the iBasso IT01X is not bright-neutral and nor have I never heard of the signature before.

I have. Or some form of it. And it starts with the letter V.

I don't know if this is burn-in or brain burn-in or some pseudoscience voodoo audiophile sonic magic but the bass of the IT01X is now more impactful than initial listen.

And so I wanted to determine why I really got weirded out by the signature. So different and yet similar. And then I stumbled upon this...

Graphs aren't everything but as no one has ever graphed the IT01X yet, this does give me an idea. They're not the same, but do share similarities. Also, that IT01X treble isn't stretched (with sweep; peaks and dips are about right). Bass also and goes deep (that bass drop on DNA ).

I am still using the same eartips and cable. It is still intense/lively sounding. It isn't V, V (if you get what I mean) because midrange doesn't sound recessed. And so, it is a mild-V.




*Does someone know of a way to transport the IT01X graph based on the pic?

LZ A7?

The graph in the booklet seem to indicate this just another variation of the IT00/01 series. Look-up graphs of these and you will see more similarity than with the z1r.

I should get my IT01X tomorrow so you can expect a measurement before the end of the week (if indeed it arrives).

Please help. Reecho SG 03 or NF Audio NM2?
