" I don't hear any decent stage in any iems so don't see much importance to comment on it, but it is quite similar on all 3." Hi, The ASR reviews are OK. I do not challenge the precision there. Second, it is a bad assumption of yours to think that I do not follow him and do not know about...

Yanec, I closed that topic with you by sending you a link to show you that an amp can have U-shaped reply. It looks like it took you time to find the two links for me. And you know - OOOOO my god, Space is so good, that is just close to RME ADI-2 and a step behind from Hugo TT2. Don't get...

It is not making less noise! It's playing at lower dB since the power from the source is not good enough. dx300 has enough power to run any of the 3 iems but if someone wants to blow his ears and get fast deft that's another discussion.

I do not get what is 'sound intensity is lower'. Sound intensity is normal - it is not a bass-head iem, nor has piercing highs; it's good for long sessions listening.

Auch! These are 3 iems with very different replay. IE900 is a master v-shaped iem and has great technicalities but has some minuses like vocals are always distant, has proprietory cables and has to be used only with its stock tips; xelento 2 should also be used only with its stock tips and has...

thanks for insights

Hi, very interesting set-up, esthetics as well - bravo! How would you describe the ef499. I am highly interested on its technicalities like resolution and soundstage width and depth. Would you be kind to share some comparison with smth popular or, let's say vs the A6 dac.

F Y I

Yep, I have compared those. So, you wrong, again, with your assumptions. There is nothing wrong to like smth else more. But looks like you knowledfe for replay in general is lacking - DACs and AMPs cannot be U-shaped!!!! Case closed!

Starting from your last sentence 'seems....' - wrong, wrong,... I have both and extensively run them with Z1R, MMk2, Helios, UM Mest II, IE600, Oxygen..... I got the RS2 and Mojo2 very soon after their launch and have built very extensive impressions - I did a review of the RS2 long before...

I think the MMk2 deserves a bit more - Hiby RS2 and Mojo2

Well, sometimes for speakers it is a good way-out from boomyness and darkness, something like mild room correction, if you know what are you doing. I also hate doing DSP in digital since often it messes with soundstage and do not use the A6 EQ; but I use a 7band tube pre-amp and click, click...

Vintage rocks

EQ works fine to my A6 digital outputs.

The 3.5 LO is not balanced but believe me it is good enough. You have to use 3,5 to 4,4 balanced but I recommend you to use normal 3,5 to 3,5 - the difference will be negligible. If you use the 4.4 balanced of RS2 you will do: 1/ use the amp of the Hiby - HIBY w/o its amp has very clean and...
