I like IEMs.

I bass boost with convolver; makes the K701s awesome. I basically bass boost with every headphone I own/ed, and one or two speakers even.

I have to chime in here. I've owned the Zhaolu for around 3 months now, and I do feel it is all it's hyped up to be. One thing though, I can't hear a difference between optical and coax inputs, nor did I notice any difference when I swapped opamps around. How noticable are these improvements...

I could be wrong, but I thought the Oppo-970HD could do this.

Of course I do.

I'd say yes. I have a pair of Grados and while they are not really my cup of tea, they are definitely "in your face." Maybe you could consider the Sony SA5ks for "up front, in your face, feel and great detail/ instrument seperation" Solid choice on the amp, I have the LD3 and it's great.

I just noticed no 802.11n support.

Any updates on this? If has the digital output feature and has all the functionlity it claims to have I'm going to be forced to buy one or three.

Nice impressions, especially with regard to the earpiece seating within the ear. My main complaint against the UM2s was the angle was slightly odd and each insertion did not provide a consistent seal (at least to my ears).

Quote: Originally Posted by jriems I also agree regarding the KSC75. The sound with the LDM+, my H120 and the KSC75 is definitely a bit more open and pleasing than straight out of the H120. I still find the KSC75 a bit harsh on the high end, but that's not due to the LDM+. I'm...

So why isn't this review a "full featured review?"

I have some experience with IEMs (universal at least) and I'll be sure to post my opinions on these once I get them.
