    The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread

    I had tried different Toxic cables on my MH335DWSR and DP-X1 (Virus, Silver poison, Silver Widow, Piccolinos). So far, I preferred piccolinos the most. The problem for piccolinos is it break so fast. I have two piccolinos and had to reterminate the connector 5-6 times in the past 18 months.  ...

    My friend was able to exchange for a new unit without a problem. The noise is clearly noticeable once the balanced cable is plugged. I'll visit the store after finishing my work today.

    Today, I found that the screen of my DP-X1 become loose. On of the corner is popped out from the body about 0.5 mm. I can press it back but it will popped out again. My friend also had to exchange for the new one due to static interval noise on the left channel of balanced port.   Here are the...

    There are two upgrades that come with SR. One is the addition of titanium tube to the trebles bore. The other is the replacement of crossover network.

    I thought that the purpose of titanium tube in SR is to separate the trebles unit from others. May be your one bore is coming from trebles unit and other is from mid and low.   Mine has three bores but it's so close to each other that, at the end, the titanium tube become the wall of the other...

    Since all the bores have to be the same size. It's depended on the size of your ear canal. Some 335 will only have one bore. All of them will start from three separated ports from three groups of BAs but merge into two or even one bore depended on available space on the stem.   The downside of...

      I test it last week when I got my unit. From fully charge, I play it 10 hours without stop with mostly flac files (Wifi off and never touch or turn the screen on again), the battery indicator is downed to about 40%. 16 hours is probably doable. Here is info from my unit.   Android...

      I got this tempered glass from yodobashi camera.     It's much better than the protective film from onkyo. Far less fingerprint smudges.

    You can always use EQ to make it fit your preference.   Yodobashi won't ship outside japan.

    Here is some head to head comparison with my ifi iDAC2.   DP-X1 has better resolution and cleaner sound. The soundstage seem slightly bigger. Again, I notice that the bass on DP-X1 seem to a little thinner and less impact comparing to iDAC2. However, the bass is slightly better in control and...
