That's nice to know. Seems to me like the prices don't really reflect MAJOR upgrades in sound. Anyway, can't wait to hear your impressions from comparing the two. 

I wouldnt say so yet..... Just got pleasantly surprised by the Lyra 2 after listening to it for less than half an hour...

does anyone find the vega to be sibilant especially at loud volume

 

[soniccali]

so i got a response back from one of the staff at CA about the Lyra II, and they claim it sounds slightly warmer than the original, but that they're essentially identical in frequency response. take that for what you will!

Graphs posted at another forum. Not here. Can't link due to rules. Interestingly enough the Lyra II actually measures better than Vega and has less ringing at 7 kHz which is why some are struggling with sibilance.

I don't, except a few songs. I equed mine though.

do u eq highs a lot ? and which frequencies do u usually eq in the highs, as I would always avoid messing with increasing 2 kHz and 4khz

  I just came back from a 5 day trip, and I brought a few IEMs and sources with me. I brought the Andromeda, Katana, Vega, and InEarSD4. I could not take the Vega out of my ear, and did not listen to any other IEM (besides the SD4 which I only listened to for a short period). The Vega sounded amazing with every source I brought (Paw Gold, AK380cu, AK70, Plenue S, and Opus 2). I really don't want to add to a hype train, but these really are a special IEM. Ever since they were delivered, I really have not been listening to other IEMs in my collection. I briefly switched to the Katana this morning, and made it less than 20 minutes before switching back to the Vega. 

You are not adding to a hype train.  On these forums there is a tendency to paint everyone who has anything positive to say about a new product with a broad brush as "Hype train". But you own the Vega, unlike someone that audition the Vega for a few minutes, and you own a wide varieties of good gears that you can compare to.  You add value to this forum.  Thanks.

The Vega is not sibilant and I like to listen at high volume.  On the 380cu, volume at 120/150.

Not much at all. Again, it's only on a few songs I've heard, it's mostly a rare occurrence.

Andromeda is more full sounding than Vega but Vega is more natural in terms of presentation. For coherency, Vega wins while for soundstage, it is Andromeda. The way Vega is tuned, sound signature is close to a mix of Ocharaku Donguri Keyaki and Ocharaku Donguri Ti Plus. So far in the market, the way Ocharakus iems are being tuned, they are the most unique dynamic iems whether in their looks, technology and sound.

What do you mean by "full sounding", because the Vega is a very full-bodied, bold IEM. The Andromeda is perhaps more layered, is that what you meant?

yes you are right coupled with better width and depth of soundstage

Do more Vega vs AKT8iE.
