Zeos' DaVinci Review is out: Don't be fooled by the video thumbnail... these colors are totally off and not the real thing... why?

Look what the cat dragged in... absolutely initial impressions (be aware): Noooiiice, I like it, and in the sub 200 class already audibly one of my best sets. Sweetspot momentarily with my DX260 and 4.4 balanced: "Short delay fast roll off" filter, high gain (as always anyway, lol) Fit is OKish...

so in our common vice slang they're called PILFs? I like PILFs :sweat_smile: :zipper_mouth: One of the best dongles on the market, no doubt. Congrats!

Greetings to you and my neighboring country! Keep on doing your thing, I like it :beerchug: :thumbsup: and as Dale Carnegie once said: “Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

Hello Timmy! I'm honored that Mr. DaVinci himself shows up in our "discovery round table".. A big high five man! (Mine was shipped tody by HiFiGo, so I ordered one anyway before we had any FQ response graph because I knew that DUNU and Timmy can only be a good collab, honestly, without...

So, the base target here is a target curve by a single person and his/her individual preferences. > That's the basis to understand the grey dotted line. Now, if you go and display a measurement of an IEM interpolated with this target, you can see how far off a particular IEM is to Precog's...

I was interested in it, too and I found the AFUL Explorer graph on Jaytiss Squig.link (and the DaVinci one still only on Super* Review)... so I tried to find a common target curve which I could actually compare the two graphs with each other. Result: Precogvision's target curve, again normalized...

A FQ response curve doesn't tell you about speed/attack and clarity of bass, so, depending on the dynamic drivers and their implementation, as well as how they manage the FQ crossover (bleeding), this could be still very much enjoyable. I fully agree with the Harman matched target curve from...

FYI > DUNU DaVinci FQ response curve and some selected comparisons (normalized 60dB@500Hz) [Source: Super* Review @ squig.link] EDIT: sorry something f'd up my attached graphics... hope it works with the second try

Oh, that face plate design.... like your own little tropical island where you can relax and enjoy your music

Damnit, I tried to source the Project M yesterday in Europe... Only one distributor in France. And like mostly when it comes to European prices, they are frickin' ridiculous! >> 420 € PLUS 29 € shipping. are they kidding me? ... But the story isn't over. So I contacted them if it's really true...

Got me... Great satire right there! :beerchug: :thumbsup:

Ah, yes, indeed, they do offer QDC. Glad to see that. I forgot to say that I don't look at AliExpress and therefore don't order there. Italian customs are merciless way too often. If you look at HiFiGo, there's mo option for Hakugei's with QDC. (maybe if you write their support? IDK)

Indeed, and that's why I think a dedicated DaVinci thread likely will die off very soon. Let's keep it at the general Dunu thread, and you will see that the next couple of months will be full of DaVinci posts... until the next big thing arrives. :wink:

Nope, sorry, I don't... Yet :rolling_eyes: that's why I made the Photoshop to see how it would look... Really thinking of purchasing it, but waiting for some reviews first.

According to your ranking system, the Himalaya would easily deserve a 9 in mids, a 7 in air, a clear 8 in imaging, and with the rest I fully agree. Nevertheless, these are my numbers because my hearing and preferences might be different to yours.

Unfortunately the Medusa has a QDC 2-pin connection, and that limits the choice of readily available pink, magenta, blue cables and even more so a combination of these colours. Some Hakugei's would've been awesome, but they don't offer QDC. Of course you can find a custom cable maker on Etsy...

Man, these words coming from you, I'm truly flattered my friend, grazie mille! :blush:

Would be cool! ...and there's a clear new trend for well implemented and engineered single DD's ...and if someone is able to shake up the competition, it's Dunu, isn't it? (cf DaVinci)

Yesss, please make an endgame 1DD or 2DD IEM ...for under 500 bucks and I throw you my money! btw, my favourite IEM's at the moment are the SA6 MkII... and DaVinci is coming, so you have a customer and fanboy right there.. please tell them to make a DD (shhh, I also do like my NiceHCK Himalaya...

Another DaVinci review from a not so well known channel, but I really like to watch Cata Degen's approach to reviews... sometimes he's a bit hard to understand, but otherwise good content:

Interesting video: Simgot EM10 VS Supermix 4 VS EM6L Analysis ...might be interesting for some :wink:

Z didn't say it sounds bad, he just said its not playing within its peers without the dongle. And there's my problem with this hole DSP dongle trend. But sure, for people solely listening via their smartphones, this might add some value... but is that us here? As you mentioned, you like switches...

I understand, and everyone can either see this trend as a feature or a bug. Thing is that Z got the impression, that the Splendor II dosn't sound like a 240$ IEM without the dongle, and that's what puts me probably off. If such an approach is like "wow, they sound really good naturally, and with...

Love the look of the TRN Medusa... so I did a quick and dirty Photoshop to see how they would look like with a more suitable cable to fit the Medusa colors. Ended up using a pic of the Tripowin Sirene ...and now we're talkin' :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:
