Campfire - Solaris

This is entirely speculation but I think Atlas was offered first because it relatively simpler with just a single DD. They said that they wanted to go slow with CIEMs. So if they go forward I think next will be Andro and then Solaris.
Let's see if I can accustomed to this Treble. Definitely the most Treble I have heard from any of my gear.
A dedicated DAC/AMP takes this to the next level. Soundstage immediately expands. More micro-detail. And the bass, oh boy, it hits like a true DD now. Tried with CMA600i. Hiss sucks tho

Ugh, really? Would you expect the same with a QP2R?

I hate Universal IEMs already. Customs are sooooooo much better. These tips(using default foam) are very irritating.
Do you have another mmcx cable without memory wire, just to test the fit? At least for me, it was a huge improvement in fit once I removed the wire, cause the wire was pulling Solaris out of my ears, making them stick out more. I just switched to a balanced cable to continue with burn in, and right away feel the difference since this cable still has a memory wire intact. Also, switch to FA silicone tips.

The soundstage balanced on DX200 amp4 is INSANE. As wide as the a18t, which is extremely wide, but it's better in terms of pinpoint location precision. The stage is more accurate to my ears. The left - right panning is amazing, really good. Getting better by the album. Seems to do all genres well, too.
Yep Imaging performance is Godly. Only a Zeus can beat it at this pointThe soundstage balanced on DX200 amp4 is INSANE.

Balanced, I think it's better than Zeus. I also didn't love the Zeus, so there's that.
I really wish CA would let us choose the cable/connector for this. Would love to order with the silver balanced cable without having to pay for the 3.5 memory wire that I'll never use.

Same. Maybe they'll let me swap it for credit when they start selling the stock cable in 4.4 or 2.5?

Maybe? Ken et al. seem to be pretty flexible, supportive folks. At this price point, I don't understand why they don't offer the choice with purchase. Seems odd.

Agree.
Also, when it comes to customs, I don't know if they're really prepared for it. 64 Audio's custom process and fit is insane, very good. My friend had major issues with Campfire and a pair of custom tips for his Andros.
