Shanling M2s>RE800
Good setup.
Do you find the Shanling to be slightly warm in presentation?

Maybe more than slightly.

That's also my impression, it works great with some headphones but does have a slightly thick tone to it.
Do you have the Hifiman Megamini, I find that to be quite snappy and fast, with good transient response, but possibly a tad thin sounding.
Opus #2 is my reference for the above.
Good to know!
Thank you!
Given RE-800's detailed and energetic sound, it would work good with both Megamini and M2sm or you prefer it with M2s more as it thickens the sound?

It turns out my biggest problem with the RE800 was not the RE800, but rather the iDSD Black Label. Yes, the RE800 has that treble spike, and when your source also possesses some unnaturally heightened treble, it's a deadly combo. But on a more neutral, natural-sounding source, the RE800 sounds AMAZING!
Both my desktop DAC, the NFB-28, and my portable unit of choice, the Opus#2, reveal heaven's blessing on these little in-ears. They both have duel Sabre DACs done brilliantly. Full, slightly warm, and utterly natural-sounding. The RE800 still has that hot treble region, but it's FAR less aggressive. I'm growing to really love these now.
For a true treble head, the CL1 is still king, funnily enough, for treble on a budget, the included AKG earphones that come with the Samsung S8 take some beating!
I remember the RE800 being more sedate than the RE2000, so the past few posts have my birth packed and interested in equal proportions
Photo time...
They do look beautiful!
I do have one question though... How did you take the picture if they are sitting on the camera itself?
