    That sounds fine I guess. Btw, which tips do you suggest to mitigate the driver flex

    @KutuzovGambit Does the driver flex is bad though? I wouldnt like it if it as bad as CA Atlas. And, male vocals, dynamics and treble resolution, the 3DT is still ahead of the NFs?

    Great review! I thought I read one of your impressions on NF Audio. I wonder how NM2+/ NA2+ fare against the 3DT?

    Really great and thorough review. Appreciated. Perhaps, I may pause a bit on U12T and IER comparison since I have compared both of them and agree on most part. I think IER aces U12T in width but U12T, IIRC trounced IER’s tall and depth. Probably, the best aspect of U12T is its tall. But, I may...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Have you tried iFi IeMatch/Earbuddy? They will introduce more resistance to the system. I assume SE846 is a very efficient and low impedance IEM and Mojo is quite overkill. Either Ifi’s will get rid of the hisses and allow you to use more volume to get the highest dynamic range possible with the...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Just to add something about my findings, I have just recently moved on from USB connection with Mojo directly from my Iphone 6S using custom 20cm Lightning to Micro USB cable. They sound decent at best but mainly its quite neutral, flat soundstage and imaging and above average separation but...

    If you have tried it with a decent source from coax connection, you will not sell this at all. It sounds much better than USB(from my laptop and Iphone) connection and probably Toslink. To my ears, it sounds much much more holographic and dynamics(start&stop) with coax input from my Ibasso DX200...

    Great write up, man! As an owner of Oxygen and Tanchjim as a brand, I would love to see the love for Tanchjim products around because they deserve such tractions.

    Tanchjim in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    Sorry that I simply left out the fact that you were quoting other member’s statement. If you are asking me, I got more cable with the right polarity(even with ear hook) works with Oxygen than not. In my case, the stock cable supplied is to be blamed. Can’t speak for other members here but I...

    Tanchjim in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    You may try it yourself and see the difference especially with the stock cable. I have tried this since I acquired this set on April 2020 and I consistently obtain the same result. They are totally not the same sound at all. If they were, this set will long be gone from my collection. I’m sorry...

    Tanchjim in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    In my case, the stock cable polarity(+\-) is not fixed to the O2 2-pin connector. I had to reverse the cable making the angle a bit awkward to wear as the ear hook facing to the front but it sounded normal with proper imaging, bass impact is totally kicking which was not existent originally and...

    Maybe EQ down the upper midrange(female vocal region) making that area more balance.

    Tanchjim in ear monitors Impressions Thread

    Very good comprehensive review. Damn it, what a waste of the beauty. Hope it’s not too late to share my experience with regarding the my early struggle with Oxygen. I used to think Oxygen sounded like cra* and it got very intolerably high upper mids which sounds quite unbalanced in relative to...

    Lotoo PAW S1 - Designed for HIFI on the go with Lotoo PAW quality and the first USB DAC-AMP with dual 3.5mm & 4.4mm output

    IKR 😅 Chord Mojo driven by offline/airplane mode devices is one of the best and beautiful sounding portable DAC/Amps. It picks up a lot of RFI/EMI if those set ups are on though not by much but still enough to hinder the dynamics and black background quality of it. Wonder how other portable...

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    Indeed! Ha, I still can’t make myself shy away from your dismissal on getting Andromeda after acquiring YB04? Have you listened to the Andro before getting the YB04?

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    Just when I thought I hv heard the best IEM, U12T, maybe this one would be even more poisonous. I can see how you’d feel all those technicalities. I think VE8 is probably the hallmark for technicalities and perfect tonal balance for the summit-fi echelon which is really rare. YB04, I just love...

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    So sorry to hear about your VE8. Hope you will get it sorted out nicely. I hv VE3 which is said to be tonally the same as VE8 without technical chops. Crinacle said it. And to my ears, their 3 drivers integration are simply superb. Just a minor problem for me is, their timbre has tint of typical...

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    Cant wait to hear your feedback soon oh VE8. I have Ares II paired with Cayin as well. Exchanging polarity seems to yield a better result too for Ares II as the stock cable would do. Its weird. Maybe it is the YB04 connecter is the one with reversed polarity. I hope I’m the only one with this...

    Before you let it go, may you go through my previous post and give it a try and compare against VE8? lol I know the price difference is staggering. It would be just for fun. 🙏😅

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    I think many haven’t heard the true performance of YB04 if they stick with stock cable. I hv always been thinking theres something wrong with my set because it doesnt hv the extension down low. I even thought I need a source with higher impedance output than my player (DX200 and Chord Mojo) but...

    Great review! If I read correctly, I think YB04 is overall the better performer and value-wise compared to PP8.

    Cayin YB04 In-Ear Monitor

    Hello everyone, I’m looking forward to buy YB04 at used price. But this IEM is not that much popular on online sites compared to other IEMs. Also, I have read mixed reviews on this pair but I think generally it seems like a good pair regardless. May I know few things of this IEM from user...
