dap pairing andromeda best ??

unlike a lot of headphones/earphones many including myself find that as long as the source is not noisy, Andros will bring out the best of any DAPs, from the humble xduoo x3 all the way to chord hugo or AK 380

he compared the katana with the andro in another review

and seriously, aside from the andro being really sensitive to hiss/noise, it is one of the more flattering iem to its source.

I am listening now to the Andromeda with the reference 8 balanced cable.

It seems to bring up the lows more (which the andromeda needs. on some tracks, or maybe i have been becoming more bass reliant because of the vegas). and also gives it a more full and dense sound.

I also changed from silicone to foam tips, i should test again with the jvc spiral tips.

I think its a good combo.

*Full Tinsel, Litz and Reference 8 comparisons in the new year. Single ended and balanced.

Back to my trusty go to tips the jvc spiral tips, with the Andromeda reference 8 cable and Opus1 dap balanced at 1Ohm OI, it seems a nice combination, the lows are a bit more boosted, but the jvc spiral tips keep the open spaciousness and the beautiful highs.

I always find the foam tips to mask the highs a bit, and add a bit of congestion.

I'd love to get a Ref 8 cable Just Because. I just don't think I'd feel comfortable attempting to remove the memory wire with this quality of cable. I remember the anxiety I felt when doing so with the stock cable that came with the Andromeda.

Should I get the Andromeda? I like the sound but I find it quite loud when I try it with my Plenue D just volume 1, if I would like to turn it down do I need to get an amp?

Well I am in holiday mode, so some of my criticsl faculties are on vacation also.

I have the Campfire Audio Vegas also, and the cable moves the Andromeda closer towards them.
It gives a bit more oomph, as the Andromeda can seem a bit laid back and thin compared to the dense, bass powered Vega.

It strikes a good middle ground between Andromeda Litz and Vega Litz.

None of the beauty of the Andromeda is sacrificed, just enhanced. All the detail, instrument separation and large sound stage is still present.
It just adds more of a sense of power, low end and over all punch.
