So how much difference in sound is there between Kann Alpha to the MAX ? Is there really much difference? Note: I don't stream like many, FLAC files with playlist.

Dont have many IEM's but I decided to purchase the ThieAudio Monarch (Did buy it from a reputable place) baed on hearing them recently. They showed up today. My listening bliss left as quick as I opened the box.. In one image you can see the box is labeled as the Monarch . Open and its the...

You referring to this ? Sorry if wrong to post but its just a persons opinion and at this level of product sound it really is just personal.... that is really what all it is. I have tested a lot lately again, seems like every two years I get the itch to try the best "NEW" ones out and...

I have a Cowon R2 and love it with the Solaris. Has the 10 Band EQ/BBE and many other tuning aspects. EDIT: Link to specs if it helps. http://www.cowonglobal.com/product_wide/PLENUER2/product_page_1.php

Thanks everyone. I just ordered spiral dots (could not get the ++ on amazon), Azla Light and thought I would toss in Spinfit just to see. Will order the W peel also.

Joined the club..!! I agree with all the reviews. Amazing texture/layers/detail with the perfect balance of bass. The SPACE is really hard to explain for an IEM, have to hear it to truely understand. Nothing is prefect, nor does something fit everyone, but wow do these just draw you in hard...

I settled on new IEM's for the R2, the 425's did there job for years. Spent weeks read on every TOTL IEM's from all companies, many I had never heard of. *Alot of good stuff out there..! As noted was looking what would provided the "best' overall sound. Balanced, spacious, layered, clear...

Excellent write up. Read your reviews often.

Given its all around ability would Campfire Audio Solaris be a good match on the R2? I listen to many types of music. (Rock, Country, Pop/Hphop, Dnce, EM, some classical)

=-)

So I got the replacement and everything is working fine on this one. Not really sure what the deal was on the first one, it would not access to load files, but every cable I had would charge it?? Either way I would say it is excellent. Spent a few hours testing and extermely happy. Soooo...

LOL yea has been some time with the J3. Heard a lot of the new DAC combos in the last year that I thought sounded better but was not sure if going for a for full replacement was worth the $$$. As we know once you flip its all in LOL

Thanks everyone. Already sent replacement request to amazon, should have it in a few days. .Sad as I really wanted to test it this weekend. Probably dating myself (sadly) but I have used a J3 for a long time /wFiio amp. Shure headphones (SE425). Honestly never felt the need to upgrade but...

NEED HELP So I picked up a Cowon R2 and two things are happening out the box: First: Will not recongnize the R2 at all? I tried on 3 different computers tonight, ranging from Windows 7(last effort), Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro. I am using a cable I know that works and the cable that came...
