Also saw Supermix 4 for sale. No hype is correct.

Two things everyone on this thread should know: 1. Hydro is maybe the best value to performance product of the year for me. 2. Douse your iems w/ ests in bleach and it automatically adjusts the freq. curve to Harmon.

I would go for the Pilgrim for the sole reason of having a ton of Dunu products already.

Ordered mine through the Artti store on Ali Express……. They messed up the delivery initially and then sent via DHL. Somehow arrived from China to US in three days. Shocking, I know.

Last purchase before a three week seminar in New Mexico is the CCA Hydro. After extended listening while slaving away at work to afford this hobby, I can confirm it is everything I liked about the rhapsody and Trio rolled into one.

Hi Eric-- Bought the medium and large and feel great. However, The ear fit test is failing every time. Have you heard of any similar issues? --Thanks

You just have to get these. They turn your AirPods into subtonic storms. Kidding, of course, but interested to try them on my four hour flight coming up in June.

Just received the CCA Hydro. It is proof that no matter how much you pay for a CCA/KZ product, the cable will smell like death.

My ability to afford such products also prohibits my ability to use them extensively. For the most part, I cannot tell the difference between my ESS, AKM, and cirrus products at all. My prediction is I’ll feel similar about the ROHM chip in the elite. Still, as far as build, the highest...

Now have every delta sigma option for dongles.

Sorry, for the messy background. The legal profession is always a mess. Early impressions: relatively balanced sound with the bass I desired when I purchased the blessing 3. Using dsp cable. No issues with it. Will likely switch out spring tips as soon as I get home.

Mine is arriving tomorrow! From what I’ve seen in the graphs, looks like it lacks the bass I require but excited nonetheless.

Himalaya today. Decent. Impulse buy through Amazon for 400, the technical MSRP. I would recommend to anyone considering it spend $100 more for the timsok. However, build quality is very solid. Could see it being my edc for the foreseeable future due to that.

Just saw this post for a second time. Got a good chuckle out of seeing a CCA/KZ product on top of your Chord DAC/Amp. I can only imagine the advertising if KZ released a dongle. “ same SNR AS 2,0000 DACs for only $15 dollars”

I’ve seen the maestro mini back in stock at musictek and one other website I can’t think of off the top of my head. Maestro Mini is a great IEM that doesn’t get enough It is. I received the newer version approx 2 months ago. It’s strange how even with the absurd bass shelf the treble seems...

I’ve seen the maestro mini back in stock at musictek and one other website I can’t think of off the top of my head. Maestro Mini is a great IEM that doesn’t get enough praise.

No. For the BAs I think it's a set of Sonion drivers. Sound good to me.

Have both. I am loathe to describe differences but here it goes...... The Neo 5 is just "warmer" in general. The Doscino's bass has more impact and sounds almost more separated from the rest of the frequencies. Doscino sounds more detailed to my ears too. I prefer the Doscino. Personally, with...

My apologies!

"Since I haven't heard anything in 500$ plus range (iems), I can only wonder, but that Trio is quite awesome indeed." (greymousetaxi). So you haven't tried anything out in the $500 plus range but are commenting about the Nio and Cascara. Don't worry, I won't call you a shill.

Thanks for the response. I primarily listen to EDM. Any thoughts on that genre specifically?

Someone other than me bite the bullet and test this out. $400.00 is hype 4 territory/dusk 2 territory. If I order this now, the upside is I’ll get to enjoy it for six months before my April 2 dusk 2 order arrives.

Do you know anyone that has tried out the Cascara? Considering dipping into the campfire audio stuff but for all the obvious reasons hesitant.

That is promising. As a non-android user, I don't think I'll have access to the Moondrop app which I've heard is terrible anyways. I'll brush the dust off the blessing 3 and test it.

Preordered my Dusk 2 in an almost subconscious fashion. Before I could collect my thoughts Apple Pay was already activated. In the interim trying out a cheaper IEM, the Kefine Delci. Without getting into whether my cable is copper or vibranium, or the timbre, this set THUMPS for the $50-60 I...
