I sold my EST112 because it was so bulky and heavy.. also fit wasn't good enough. SQ was quite good and have not been defeated by any particular other IEMs in my case

nice match with Nightjar Bifrost

Other store seems to say otherwise. I'd probably lean towards believing the other store since they have no incentive to deny that they are using Knowles BA if they actually are.
My PA02 is in the country and should be arriving soon. Hoping I like them as much as everyone else does.
Went back to the CCA Rhapsody recently and I have to say they sound way better than I remember the last time I tried them. Am using Dunu S&S tips this time with 1st and 3rd switches up. I can't really find any obvious flaws with it. Sounds very natural to me with punchy bass and little to no harshness anywhere. No longer have my EW200 so sadly I'm unable to compare to see which I like more in the price range.

If it Knowles they will advertised the hell out of it.Other store seems to say otherwise. I'd probably lean towards believing the other store since they have no incentive to deny that they are using Knowles BA if they actually are.
but per Hifri said, bellsing BAs is getting better at low and mid, but still loses significantly on highs against Knowles or Sonion.
a reminder one of the tuning switch pulls back the bass tuck, if you are interested in cleaner mids.

My PA02 sounds better today than it did OOTB and it's proving to be a great all-rounder through the RU7. Definitely an accomplished 1+4 and it's setting my bar for where I feel diminishing returns sets in. The only criticism I have is the stage width - it doesn't match the value offered by its other attributes, like resolution, imaging, timbre/tonality etc. Let's hope future models in the works can bring a bigger stage with a similar level of execution, otherwise.
@soundblast75 if only the Bifrost was still available - what a lovely match!
The versatility of the PA02 is the appeal for me here. Listening to this instrumental track by Nicolas Parent (check out the full album, it's a superb recording) the tone & timbre is very good for a hybrid at this pricepoint and it's highly immersive.
Then I can quite easily move to electronic/rap and it's still giving me what I need. Maybe if I was being overly picky I would want a few more dB in the subbass for electronic but it's still enjoyable.
