I've measured it in the Veritas coupler, but it was pretty difficult to get a constant fit in the funnel during the measurement due to the wide nozzle (and the bridge), even when using the clay for fixation. That being said, it didn't have a super seal during the sine sweeps/noise signals generated by ARTA for recording the graph. I have a graph (that was recorded with an almost really good seal during the measurement, but shortly before it was finished, it broke loose), but it can be clearly seen that there was no 100% good fit/seal during the measurement, so I neither saved nor included it in the review (I've got a screenshot though and will send it to you in a second by PM).
The Titan series IEMs are not only what I consider as objectively pretty good but are also earphones I subjectively love a lot, which is a very rare case among dynamic driver in-ears (there are DD models I like or really like, but very few I thoroughly love).
Please forgive me that I won't compare the HSA or any other single-BA IEM to the Titan or any other dynamic driver in-ear, as the "character" of the different driver types is just too different for me to stay halfway objective and in addition, I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. That's why I also rarely compare any hybrid IEMs with DDs/BAs or IEMs with full-sized headphones.

Also how does it compare with something I consider to be fantastic value (single dynamic) - the Dunu Titan 1 - which most of the time glides between $90-$110?
