Needed to chip in with little clarification... I have had CV2+ (sabre one, better one) and current Playmate with Everest opamp combination definitely inclines to bigger bro sound. That powerhouse was probably more suited for power hungry cans but if you dont own such I think you can be better...

Looking forward to pair those with my FH7 to check if these can get even more excellent.

What about these little metal grills on the sides of the earphones? Is that only an imitation or are they there for a reason? If so, is there noticable level of sound leaking out? I am looking for a daily iems and I see dk-4001 as serious contender for this role.

Another workaround which jumps onto mind is to get an lshaped extender. Not good for aesthetics either nonetheless would do the job.

The easiest fix seems to be enable 180degrees rotation in the software. Quick and easy, isn't @Shanling

Is there any way to trigger USB/USB DAC once the device has been disconnected from such connection with PC with unit still plugged in? The workaround I've been using for now was to follow Golden Rule of All Troubleshooting and plug the cord out and plug it back again but maybe there is more...

I kind of did that. They opened a thread on their official forum on which admin recommended 150h burn in time. As to @Brooko i do trust my own judgement more than anything and took some notes from impressions on particular tracks to ensure I got it right. Now this is the last thing you gonna...

Not that I want to start another flame war over something that has been undergoing endless discussions, but my set was closed up in a closet and only checks on then I was doing were carried out in the mornings so my perception didn't even get an opportunity to adjust to 'new' sound. Then after...

To my ears I found CP145 getting the best seal and benefiting whole SQ, nonetheless it is very persobal and consisted of too many factors to clearly indiciate on a winner. As to the burn in, FiiO recommends to give at least 150h of play in. My set opened up nicely after 70h of playing.

What an answer, looks like you were really biased on these Japanese wonders. How about the fit? If I were to get rid of. FIIOs it would be only due to shallow insertion that feels insecure and makes me tinker with left earphone every now and then.

Is MK II model to be considered as somewhat upgrade to FiiO FH5? They seem to share similar sound signature and I am trying to check here is the price difference justified between those two.

To his own ears, true, but what he didn't tell you is that he has two different ear canals and been struggling to find any well isolating earphones since he remebers, nonetheless this sort of "condition" is quite common even without people knowing it.

My bad, apologies.

Reviewer mentioned Orivieti in sole regard to the cable that he got connected to fh5 and expressed very enthustiatically about this connection. Persuadive enough to made me purchase FiiO FH5 myself.
