    Cayin RU7: 1-Bit Resistor Network Dongle DAC /Amp

    Is it possible to summarize all information we have at moment regarding clicking between tracks? How can we solve it (my setup is android and USB 2.0)? As far as I understand, using the smartphone with USB 3.0 and higher can minimize or totally eliminate the problem of clicking? Is it true? Also...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    r-2r technology, resistor matrix.. never tried before, the sound is a pure joy, this dac rules all my headphones to its own philosophy and sometimes I do forget what iem I am listening to.. they all sounds probably in a cayin sound way) for me it is something really special - power, smoothness...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Paired Elan+ with my new Cayin RU7 and unexpectedly magic has happened. Cymbals are much better pronounced and on its place. Bass became more controlled and tight. Mids are softer. Actually same happened to all of my iems, but for Elan+ it was something I really needed a lot.

    IMR is something you always have to hope to, but never can rely on unfortunately. Have you tried Cayin RU7 with Elan+ or other IMR?

    7Hz Impressions & Discussion

    Not dark in any way to my taste, I would say can be a bit dry depending on record, but extremely detailed, coming close to Etymotic ER2XR (that is more hot and sparkling), anyway bass is elegant and enough, really great for bassy kind of music like raggae, dub, doom metal, ambient. Actually I...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I was an owner of Trinity Vyrus, remember that connectors were awful and plastic rings cracked, the sound was nothing interesting about, quite flat and liveless, my Audiotechnica ckm55 was just a brilliant camparing Vyrus, so I sold Trinity.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Sure, brain is a complex device) After I wrote above negative messages about Elan+ and started listening them again, I realised they are not so bad as I described)) With maximum possible deepest insertion - almost to the pain - I hear splashes of cymbals much better and overall sound seems not...

    As to my experience, the matter is mostly the style of recording, which frequencies are more or less emphasized, if de-esser applied properly etc. The "flat" iems will show all the drawbacks of improper record, but iems with its own character as IMR demands a corresponding type of recording...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I can't really divide my brain adaptation/mood influence and real burn in results unfortunately. But I remember my first listening experience was wow, I had nothing to complain about (of course it was mostly emotional). And that time I've paired it with Toppind DX3PRO+ which is very detailed and...

    For Elan+ and others, if i am not wrong it was DM at the same time and Seraph, but not sure, anyway I have his message in email. This was sent to many people in the end of past year. There was a time he was moving manufacturing from UK to Germany, having some other problems. So a kind of...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Thank you very much for such an informative reply! Sure will try to give them more hours and will tell later my results. Also I want to change my softly sounding M11s to something more sharp and powerful. For now the best results in a search of lost in intimacy cymbals I am getting with deeper...

    Etymotics and Timeless are dry in the area of HF, Etymotics are more sparkling, Timeless more dry. Snowy A8+ is just a magic, surely not dry to my taste.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    The absence of cymbals is well known issue and Gateway test is totally failed comparing other iems and headphones. Snowy A8+ is not a dry BA, but jucy BA with neutral and natural tuning and plenty of details, slightly bass elevated. The difference is dramatically huge, just this track is too...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I feel myself cheated. Also Bob has promised to send for all people who were patient to wait for so long a pare of double dd exclusive experimental iems, but almost a year has passed and nothing is happening. I am not sure that I want to deal with IMR any more. I love their idea, actually sound...
