Thanks lin!
 
I ordered the one with public ear version so it does not require my ear impression and using silicon earbud on the IEM. In case i can share it with my friends and no need to challenge the ear impression issue.

Mine is actually currently getting reshelled into the same shape! I did not like the custom fit.

Yeah. I would suggest public ear version for most of the people who do not like custom ear fit. It could be great or the worst. Really depend on your luck IMO.  
 
Once you get the wrong ear fit you will need to send it back and wait thousand of years to get back your IEM.

Wow, it looks great!

There are 6 different types of wood that can be chosen, but the one showing on the website was the one I preferred. I do have some Amboyna Burl that I wanted UM to use, but they said there were no guarantee's it would come out right. If or when I decide to have my 535's reshelled, I might take a risk and ask UM to use that Amboyna Burl with those IEM's.

So I am going on a year abroad in Europe(yay student exchange program!). I'm looking for a good portable set up, so would you guys recommend the Miracle for rock and alternative rock? I'm looking for something with a light bass hump and a VERY involving and romantic sound, can the Miracle do this? And what DAP or amp? Preferably no amp, but its fine if I need one.

Well, it depends what you mean. It isn't very fun if that is what you are looking for.

 

[wolfetan44]

Not necessarily fun, but involving.

[lin0003]

Yeah, I would say that it is involving.

 

[Loquah]

I would agree with involving too, especially with a nice copper cable.

In terms of DAP, I love the RWAK100 (modded AK100 from Red Wine Audio), but it's not cheap. Fiio X3 and iBasso DX100 are also excellent. (X3 is warmer while DX100 is analytical - RWAK100 somewhere in between)

a good portable setup will cost you more than a good desktop amp/dac and headphone , if you have a laptop and wana listen to music when you are in EU then get a dacport lx and uha.6s.mkii and ofc seems like you want miracle which you wont go with,  if you wanted a DAP then ignore the dac and get the amp/CIEM but keep in mind that you will spend way more because a good DAP cost a lot, hope i helped you.

 

[wolfetan44]

Thanks for the help everyone! Its either this or the JH13.

 

[Mimouille]

It is involving thanks to the nice bass texture and great airiness of the soundstage, but if you are hoping for warm thick mids that it does not have.

 

[lee730]

Well when he mentions romantic it makes me wonder? I'd figure romantic tends to involves a more intimate sound. Especially on vocals.
