X5III and Vega is a match made in Heaven.

 
Received both now but only had a brief listening session last night. Underestimated how long 80GB of data take to copy on the player/SD card...
 
Couldn't do any comparisons or proper listening but one thing is present from the first second: A feeling of sinking into the music and just enjoying it on a different level to what I have heard until now. I am not super experienced at all so my ability to describe the sound on a technical level is minimal but the emotional impact where you simply dont want to put down the player and Vega was highly impressive!
 
Already can't wait to have proper time tonight.

Would the campfire vega's be ok for running? How is the isolation?

You're planning on running and getting sweat all over a pair of $1300 IEMs?

Isolation will be good but not great, but the in ear canal fit will be most important, and may require various tips to get it right. I've been using a pair of ciems for stage and gym work, and I've never had a problem.

Isolation is pretty darn good but it's also tip dependent. Beyond walking, I would not recommend any form of exercise with such a pricey IEM. The build is quite good but I don't think it's designed to endure that level of activity.

I've seen people golf with really expensive mechanical watches.  I guess if you have "**** you" money, what you worry?

Ya but that's golf, which in cardio terms is beneath walking.

But **** you money would be nice to have.

Haha if money is no object then, by all means, work out in TOTLs. I'd also be willing to bet a super hi-end watch would fair better than a TOTL IEM in a lot of physical activities, including golf and running.

The shock of hitting balls with a club is really bad for mechanical watches.

I don't doubt that. All I know is I've lost a couple lesser IEMs to sweat and snagged cables. That being said, I wouldn't risk them unless TOTL is life haha.

The shock of hitting balls with anything is bad enough

Not if you hit the ball, and not the ground.

The Fiio X5 III + Vega is blowing my mind.
Caveat: The X5s are new, I will post after the honeymoon period is over.

I bought the Fidue A83 Balanced based on good feedback in this thread. Thanks !!
Does anyone know how long it takes the cable to arrive HK -> US East coast ?

 

[nealh]

I am very close to buying the Lyra II off massdrop.
 
How comfortable is the cable from campfire audio.  I know it well made cable but is it heavy?  Is it light and flexible?  can it be worn with glasses?
 
TIA
