    @WAON303 Why? There is no similarities between the L4 and the ER2XR/SE, I believe. Or you are talking about the sound isolation?

    Review by 'Darkeye999H' on item 'Burson Audio Supreme Sound Opamp V5i'

    Disclaimer: Burson sent me this product for free in exchange for a full and honest review. * I'm using the Burson V5i op-amp together with the xDuoo XD-05 BAL dac/amp. Comparisons: MUSES 8820 8820's bass is less defined and a tad more present and soft, which ultimately sounds muddy to my...

    LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread

    I can't say for sure because I don't own the Mini. I don't think A7 filters can make such a difference with the Mini. Only if you're having moisture issues with the A6 filters.

    LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread

    Yeah, I own some pieces even 3x the price and I still find the airness of the A6 unmatchable.

    LZ A6/A6 mini discussion and review thread

    I was using the ligh blue filter with the foam/cotton mod. The black filter is also very good, but I find the light blue more extended and airy. But nowadays I don't use A6's stock filters anymore. I have bought LZ A7's filters separately at penonaudio.com and I'm using only them to this day...

    Kinera Nanna

    Just an insight: Kinera Nanna is overpriced. It sounds like an average 200$ IEM (yes, even with very powerful sources) and it's raped by my Variations on resolution, details, sub bass and treble extension, only having better layering and lower midrange, but not by a great margin. Even my LZ A6...

    ThieAudio Monarch MKII Owners - Do You Hear This?

    Did you notice this issue right away or it took some time for you to notice it? Because if it doesn't compromise the listening experience, I don't think it worth sending it back.

    Moondrop Blessing 2 or LZ A6?

    Blessing 2 is a mid-centric IEM, that means it has less bass and treble extension, because the midrange is emphasized. It's very good if you like vocal driven songs. But the LZ A6 crushes the B2 in absolutely all the other aspects. I only won't recommend the A6 if you're very treble sensitive...

    xDuoo XD05 Balanced

    Warm and mellow is a mainstream sound signature. I think xDuoo didn't want to take any risks. But they knew audiophiles would bother, so they came with this concept of op amp swap. Still, it's curious how many reviewers were praising the stock sound as neutral, detailed and blablabla. What those...

    xDuoo XD05 Balanced

    I just got the xDuoo XD05 Bal and I'm finding its sound too mellow, blunt and thick, even with clearer IEMs. I'm more into an energetic, sharp, clear and tight sound signature. I even swapped the stock op amps for those cheap replaceable ones that came together, at least they are not blunt and...

    Yeah I just ordered some 8820Ds. Did ever try the 01 or 02 ones?

    XDuoo XD-05 Portable Dac/Amp Introduction - Impressions

    I just got the xDuoo XD05 Bal and I'm finding its sound too mellow, blunt and thick, even with clearer IEMs. I'm more into an energetic, sharp, clear and tight sound signature. So I think It's Muses02, Muses01 or AD829SQ for me then? Which of these do you recommend most for this type of sound?

    @John Massaria About power, do you think the xduoo xd-05 bal can push it well?

    @John Massaria What cable are you using for this Nanna? I'm thinking about getting the Kinera Dromi cable when my Nanna arrives. Kinera had told me that this is their best cable for treble and resolution. Dromi is copper + silver 6N OCC.

    So what about people saying its treble is rolled-off? This issue tends to get better with amps?

    @samtvt Yeah, they need removable cables for sure. I never tried the ATE-S though. Have you tried both?
