AÜR AUDIO IEMs
Just got my Aehta! It sounds really nice even OOTB. IMO, best bass and soundstage from Aür Audio's offerings. Treble is great without noticable sibilance. Also I think that the fit is better and smoother than previous Aür Audio's IEMs. Probably an ideal change in shape for adequate BCD effect...- KKNAYANA

AÜR AUDIO IEMs
I haven't heard Anni 2021, but when comparing Anni 2023 to Ascension, I think that they sound very different. Ascension has a softer, more analog, tubey sound than Anni 2023, and I think it has a more of a W-shaped sound with an emphasis on the mid-bass and vocals. The vocals sound more up...- KKNAYANA

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
EA Chiron 8W is among the best cables that I have used in terms of resolution and technical performance. And I think that Chiron 8W pairs very well with Enigma AMT+, too.- KKNAYANA

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
It is Effect Audio Chiron 8W. Effect Audio Con X 2-pin connectors seem a little thicker than other 2-pin connectors. So they are stiffer, but with a little pressure, they snap into place.- KKNAYANA

IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions
I got Enigma AMT + a few days ago and have been listening to it ever since. It has a very unique sound and I love it. The wait was very long and hard, but I'm quite happy with the end result.- KKNAYANA

Cayin N30LE DAP: A Transformative Milestone (30th Anniv. Limited Edition)
I just unboxed and had a listen to my new N30LE. I am really impressed with its premium build quality and excellent SQ. But unfortunately, as others (@Auricon ,@jwilliamhurst) have posted in the thread, I can easily detect distant hissing noise when using the Meze 109 Pro and PCUHD cable on...- KKNAYANA

The PENON official thread
Impact has higher resolution, more details/depth and better treble and mids than 10th AE. But I like 10th AE's bass personally much better than Impact's BA bass. Also 10th AE's soundstage is wider than Impact. Both are great IEMs, but I think that you will like 10th AE very much :)- KKNAYANA

The PENON official thread
After trying out some cables I have (stock, Totem, G4, and some affordable cables from Aliexpress), I actually like G4 the best among them. Totem has better than G4 in terms of resolution and imaging, but G4 brings out best of 10th AE's good treble and DD's natural decay. To sum up, I think of...- KKNAYANA

The PENON official thread
I received my 10th anniversary (10th AE) just a few days ago, and I was quite surprised that it sounded great, even just out of the box. I would describe 10th AE's sound as mild V-shaped sound with impactful bass and sparkling highs, accompanied with a fairly good soundstage. The tuning...- KKNAYANA

AÜR AUDIO IEMs
I am really enjoying Neon Pro (NP) that I got just yesterday. NP is easy to drive and sounds good with DAP only, but sounds even much better with an additional amp. I can say that technically, NP does not fall greatly behind other IEMs that I have. But in terms of tonality / tuning, I...- KKNAYANA

For vocal presentation alone, Aure is better than Anni IMO. But in terms of soundstage, resolution.. Anni is better than Aure IMO. I listen to classical the most nowadays, so that is why I put Anni over Aure. YMMV, after all :)- KKNAYANA
