I made the payment. Now, patience is required.

That wait is the absolute worst. It's like you're counting milliseconds.. Feels like an eternity . Alot of my purchases are related to how soon i can get something.

the Calyx M would almost be the perfect DAP with a UI/UX tweak or 3

Calyx is slow, ux is archaic, but once you hear it, there's no going back!

I have become more resilient over time, but it indeed is the least pleasant part of the process.

Difference between calyx and arm2 imho is that calyx makes almost every iem sound like the goat, but arm2 has a special tuning. Ar-m2 awesome for headphones, single dynamics, tribrids etc... It doesn't go well with my U18s imho. Both are still the goats imho.

Very true statement about the Calyx M. I mostly have single DD, hybrids or tribrids. The only full BAs I have are not bright sounding, so let’s see/hear.

When i purchase a new iem and put it through testing, i don't even use calyxm because i found it makes pretty much everything sound awesome and that's like cheating.

I don't introduce iems to calyx until I'm out of the honeymoon phase.

The main difference between Calyx M and Acoustic Research AR M2 is that M2 is not so warm sounding, has a bbigger soundstage and a bit more natural sounding. I have two M2 that is how much I love it. To my ears Calyx M and M2 are the best sounding daps. You can still improve the sound by adding an amp like Romi BX2 plus, Aroma Audio A100 or Cayin C9

Amazing!

I will take the plunge, then. I have found a brand new and sealed unit on Ebay from a serious seller

I can barely wait to hear your thoughts on it when you get it

For those of you that are interested in the Acoustic Research AR M2 dap and you can't get your hands on one, you can buy a Cayin N6ii dap with T01 motherboard and after that you buy a Romi BX2 plus amp. The combination of the two sounds the same as Acoustic Research AR M2. The Cayin N6ii with T01 by itself doesn't sound as good as the M2

I love the Calyx M/C9 combo. I guess the AR-M2 with the C9 on tube mode will sound very good too.

Personally I like it more with the Romi BX2 plus, it sounds more grand but it also sounds good with the Cayin C9. It is just my preference

How does bx2 plus compare to cayin?

 

[immortalsoul]

I don't understand your question. Cayin N6ii is a dap and Romi BX2 plus is an amp

He maybe meant the C9? I had the BX2 Plus before the C9. The BX2 Plus was a perfect neutral amp, but I ultimately preferred the C9 over the Romi for the Calyx M.
