A DAC that sounds like my 1st gen (OG) Solaris is the 1st gen Schiit Gungnir Multi-Bit, or Gumby, from the Multi-Bit DAC upgrade. I have heard other Schiit products with the multi-bit upgrade sounding similar with its generally forward sound, though their Delta-Sigma DACs may also sound similar.

Samsung S20+ - LotooPaw S1- PW Audio No.5 4.4 Balanced - OG Solaris - Large Symbio Tips with Comply Foam Inside. Simply Divine.

Still enjoying my OG nearly 2 years later. Although there are some new toys on the block that interest me, I don't think there will be a significant enough upgrade to warrant the purchase. I'm going to wait at least a year more before a purchase above $2000 to see if advances in technology give me something significantly better.

I don't think there is a categorical upgrade to either the Solaris or the Andromeda under 3K US for those of us who are totally satisfied with those IEMs.

I was speaking with Ken Ball at CanJam a couple of years ago and he said that he was confident that his IEMs could match IEMs costing twice as much.

He's not wrong imho. While there are many great IEMs in the ~1K-3K price bracket they each have their own distinct flavor and specialty-- there really is something for everyone's tastes and preferences. But for those of us who love the sound, vibe and overall philosophy of Campfire Audio they are unbeatable in that tier.

For those of you using the Solaris 2020 with the Sony WM1A, do you use low or high gain? I can't really decide.
I found that low gain is more balanced across the frequency range, but also seems thinner. High gain seems to have weight/body, especially in the mid-bass upper-bass, but less clarity in the mids. (I'm using the single-ended output. Still saving up for a balanced cable.)

Low gain balanced.

Also using Region J and MrWalkman's Chameleon Firmware to switch device to 1Z.

Thanks! I'm also using MrWalkman's Chameleon firmware set to model WM1Z. So good!

WM1A... interesting... will the firmware mod will make the Mid Bass more QTY ???

 

[Rockwell75]

Are there no hardware differences between the 1A and the 1Z (apart from the chassis materia and internal storage)?

Its quite different IMO...

I dont like the Bloating bass on WM1Z, with OG.
And need a bit more QTY in mid Bass on WM1A.. again IMO...

WM1Z has arrived and has really refined the sense of space with the Solaris 2020. I had always found CA iems quite forward in the vocals including with the WM1A. They were really nice sounding but still forward particularly compared to something like the U12t. The WM1Z adds more depth to the sound and vocals still have some of that forwardness but have a very pleasing thickening that gives less of the in the face quality. That sense of the ears being right in the mic is much less so as I can hear more of the distance between the mic and the singer.. if that makes sense. There is a thickening of the bass as well but I don’t feel that it’s bloated or undefined at all.
Really enjoying this set up right now.

Love the Solaris+1Z combo, was my go to for the longest time. Though mine was the OG.
