How long did postage take?!

Three weeks from China to Ireland.

FiiO Q1 MK2 might be a good choice. "noticeable improvement" is very personal, but the Q1 should have enough power to drive both of your phones. Maybe "chi-fi" products might beat the Q1 at its own game, but I don't have experience here.

I eventually ordered PDv2, it's cheap enough to be experimented with. Worse is that I'll have to keep it as a shiny paper weight or a portable heater until I get a planar, for which it is pretty good

Thanks for your suggestion though!

You will like pdv2 with blon03

To all the Calyx M owners: BL-03 is delighted to get class A amplification from this legendary DAP. Both are "analog" sounding by nature and they are matching very well together. The bass from the BL-03 is really well-controlled and the layering is unseen at this price range, at least in my experience. As always, the Calyx M delivers power with ease and the single DD is getting spa-treatment by delivering a warm yet detailed sound. Perfect for Friday evening listening session.

Just a simple thought came to my mind: has the shell form an influence on the acoustic/sound? Is the DD and its tuning especially good or the shell plays a role here? What do you think guys/girls think?

Everything has an effect on sound. The shell shape, material, thickness, internal volume behind the driver, area of reflection behind the driver, front vents, rear vents, nozzle length, nozzle width, dampening, internal wires, crossover (or not), etc.

Yes, absolutely. I should have been more specific. My bad. Ceteris paribus (excepting the shell form), how the shell is bringing benefit, or not, to the BL-03 sound signature?

Are you wondering if installing the BL-03 driver in a different shell will change the sound from the stock BL-03?

In an indirect way, yes. My question is: does Blon put that DD, with that tuning, in a teardrop shell intentionally or not? Did they make research or hoped for public acclaim by randomly inserting a DD in a non conventional IEM shell?

the cardinal has a very similar sound to the BL-03 using a typical IEM resin shell. So I don't think it has as much to do with nailing a specific tuning, as it was trying to nail a certain aesthetic (and perhaps price-point).
