Yup its on the list for sure, I actually lost one at auction today, so still on the list. Looking at the general suspects, Sony X507, DX220, Fiio M11 Pro.

Would I be able to use the SE out on the WM1a?

The SE is slightly better on the WM1A but to get the best out of any of the Sony's is to go balanced.

Did it ever damage the driver though?

Yeah, I’d consider a driver that makes a clicking sound with every jaw movement or step ”damaged”.

What I suspect is that with repeated driver flex, the “surround” on the driver (the part that flexes as the driver moved) gets more pliable, making it even more prone to driver flex.

It's possible. I thought a driver would have to exhibit sonic issues to be considered damaged.

Jesus....not sure i want to hear that with them on order vs my Og Solaris. Is this on your M11 Pro? Which output?

I meant more oomf in the bass frequencies. It's not severe lol, you'll enjoy it.

Have you found an affordable cable that allows more bass slam/rumble through? I just got my first IEM, the Solaris SE, and have added eq through my RME ADI-2, but a cable would be better for when I travel or don't want to carry my RME ADI-2 that has the EQ.

hi, just sharing my exp based on OG.
For low (bass), puncy mid Bass need a big gauge Copper (around 22 - 25 AWG).
More detail Bass (less punchy) and rumble can go with SPC Litz (my exp is EA virtuoso).
Go Balanced will help but depends on the source (DAP / AMP).

just tried this ifi HIP dac/amp, the 3.5 SE output already give you good bass, hit hat Xbass button, it helps get the bass....
just heads up, Hiss detected in 4.4 TRRS, but on 3.5 SE is more quiter then my DX220...

Thanks for the info... The Virtuoso looks similar to the Super Litz, in that its SPC. Do you know if these cables sound different? Is maybe the Virtuoso thicker?

On the topic of cables has anyone tried anything from Satin Audio. Heard some good stuff and what they offer for the price. Was thinking about the new Kraken 2.

Yes, you will get some improvement in soundstage, since the Virtuoso I used is in Balanced (2.5 TRRS).
You can check here

VIrtuoso a bit thicker but still comfortable for mobile, since only 4 braids

"I can't wait to hear that beautiful holographic soundstage and balanced sig everyone keeps on about dear ...."

"Yes dear."

Yeah, she did.

So I took out my credit card, went on the Campfire Audio website, ordered the 2020 Solaris, Andromeda, and Ara. Just because I felt so good, I even placed the Cascade in my cart. I ordered everything, and wow, it was shipped to me instantly. I was so happy, but I felt something was amiss. This must be a dream, I told myself.

Well, I opened my eyes, and sure enough, here I am, still waiting for the day my wife says "Sure, honey, buy anything you want."

Ok yeah i can understand that I kept my Solaris vs the Golds. I could swear the golds were vibrating in my ears, it only happened on the 4.4 so they really liked the power coming out of the balance jack. Maybe it was just the right ratio of juice to over bass them as well.

I used them both on 4.4 on 1Z and I kept the Solaris as well. To me the Golds had more bass but the Solaris had better texture and punch? That's the best way I can explain it, like I 'heard' the bass on the AG while I 'feel' the bass on the Solaris.

Yup its on the list for sure, I actually lost one at auction today, so still on the list. Looking at the general suspects, Sony X507, DX220, R6 Pro, Fiio M11 Pro.

Would I be able to use the SE out on the WM1a?

Not sure about the ZX507 but I demo'd the rest of those DAPs with the OG Solaris awhile back and liked the Fiio best.

My OG turned up today still tip rolling I have some spiral dot ++ on the way (been 4 weeks) currently enjoying foam at moment tried the Symbio W with foam removed.

Comfort wise I am very lucky I find them better than the Atlas.
I prefer the bass on the OG so looks like I’m going to be very happy with these till the itch for the 2020 kicks in.
I think I can put up with the hiss from the Hugo 2 I tried the ifi iEmatch but prefer the sound without it.
