    If you assembled it right it should sound very good. Balanced armatures can produce very good bass. If you have absolutely no bass at all, then something went wrong. You should 1) check if you wired everything correctly, and the components you used are of the correct values; and 2) check if your...

    I'm using the 70K DSD filter, and was using Vivid. I can't really tell a big difference but think composite sounds better sliiiiiightly? However I realized I enabled NOS mode from the start as I thought it sounded better when I did my oversampling from my computer.

    I had the X20 before and they have a similar sound signature. X30 is much more refined though. X20 was almost "noisy" to an extent. Will test the filter again later today. Currently I mainly convert my files to DSD into the X30.

    Personally I prefer the 22955 over the vented woofers, but that is just personal taste.

    Oops, I mean it runs very hot with it just being idle. You are correct :D

    It runs very hot without just being idle.

    Probably a dynamic driver rather than a BA imo

    I've never heard the 9038 so I don't think I can confirm. Also I'm not sure what you meant by the digital touch and uneven harmonics? I think it sounds very good, more detailed than my Accuphase DC91 I would think.

    One other thing, the unit gets VERY hot while in use.

    Yeah that's the preorder price I got it for. After some brief listening, I can say they sound very detailed and textured, especially in the mids. Bass is extremely deep and authoritative. Lots of filter choices though, don't have time to test them all.

    This is on pre-order on Taobao and will be launched next week. Nearly double the price of R26 I think?

    Don't use PTFE, they don't really glue to anything

    I used 0.5mm silicon tubes and curled them in, but I remember you'll need a louder driver for this as the tube will roll things off quite steeply (haven't built an iem for quite some time now)

    I use like 50mm on my bass drivers, works pretty well for subbass.
