CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread
Thinking of picking up the FIBAE 3x3 to rotate in with my FIBAE Black, the 7 Unlimited do look very nice though. I like the look of solid black and white shells, one black one white. How transparent are the B&W's for the transparent shells?- Hank_Venture

Focal Elegia - what do you think?
I keep looking at these locally from Adorama, who still are selling them for $379+tax. Want a closed back in rotation with my CIEM for my transit and casual listening. Are these particularly tricky to EQ?- Hank_Venture

Just replaced my Fibae Black stock mic cable with a Linsoul one, put on plenty of mileage since 2019 on that cable.- Hank_Venture

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
May have to fiddle a bit as it doesn't seem to work on my V50. Though, from the first few short listens I am really liking it.- Hank_Venture

More than a year into my FIBAE Black ownership, still my lone CIEM but loving them since day one. Appreciate the work from Piotrus and crew. My experience ordering them from overseas was exceptionally smooth. Loving the clear shell option, it's tempting to have mine redone as such.- Hank_Venture

USB-C to 3.5mm adapters (DAC) - Let's find the best
Thank you. Does yourself or anyone else know if the ibasso products work with inline controls? I have a volume and mic control on my CIEM's and would like for that to work like usual. Edit: I spoke with someone from the Audio46 store here in NY, they said it shouldn't be a functional issue.- Hank_Venture

I use my LG V50 as my DAP these days, how much of a step up is the DC03 from the one built in? The V50 uses the ESS ES9218P.- Hank_Venture

Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
The Modius and Asgard Combo looks like a good upgrade to my current home setup, OG Dacmagic and M-Stage. The balanced outputs on the Modius and the rest of the I/O is a perfect match for what I have right now. Picked up my first Schiit with the addition of the Modi 3 to my Office setup, very...- Hank_Venture

Thanks! It's a reference to Hellboy (The Right Hand of Doom) from the Mignolaverse. I am a big fan of Mike Mignola's work. https://hellboy.fandom.com/wiki/Right_Hand_of_Doom I am referring to that unit as the Right ear of Doom.- Hank_Venture

I'm not as articulate as most regarding this, I'd say from the small sample size that it feels effortless in what it's presenting. My current daily driver (Noble X) has a laid back signature which I would describe this one as having. The difference is that this can seemingly keep up and retain...- Hank_Venture

A not so great pic but putting it through its paces. A little Fugazi and Dillinger Escape Plan to start. These are my first CIEM and I absolutely love the fit, I've been using in ears since 2008 but man never been this comfy.- Hank_Venture
