Final e5000. Under $100 in the used market, even new it has great value as it comes with a full set of their tips. One can still appreciate them as they upgrade in the hobby as it scales so so well.- chickenmcnug

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
It would make more sense to get an amp to pair with the Elite imo, scales super well with good power. Aroma stack stretches out the soundstage and allows the big notes of the Elite to breathe.- chickenmcnug

Is This It by The Strokes. Once those drums hit and an IEM is sibilant oh boy I cringe so hard. Helps me easily eliminate any IEM that’s sibilant.- chickenmcnug

DIY’d a guard contraption consisting of foam/tape to protect the cable for the Aroma stack while in transport, quite satisfied:- chickenmcnug

In my head it’s “飞王” cause of the crown design looking thing. Just non Mandarin speaking people would think of it as a joke with it named “wang” and decided against it 🍆😂- chickenmcnug

Just about loud enough to where lows start to give that thumping feeling if that makes sense. That’s why I need that DD.- chickenmcnug

Help me find the perfect sub-$150 dynamic driver IEM
You’ll definitely need the amp to drive it. Will sound veiled without enough power.- chickenmcnug

Help me find the perfect sub-$150 dynamic driver IEM
Final E5000? They're floating around for really good prices used. Might be a lil too smooth and needs quite a bit of power to really shine. What source are you using?- chickenmcnug

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
I agree, I'd say it's a soft U. There's definitely a bass & treble boost. Mids are full enough to not sound recessed.- chickenmcnug

I owned both the Sony & M300. Sold the Sony as it’s just way too sluggish. It is the smallest and nicest build quality, but UI sluggishness made me want to tear my hair out. M300’s UI is as if they tried their hardest to make it feel like an iPhone with what they had and I must say it’s pretty...- chickenmcnug

On this, when I listen to music with vocals, I actually don’t pay attention to what they are saying/meaning. I tend to consider the voice as another instrument in the blend of sounds.
