please share impressionsDunu Blanche just came in. Testing with 2.5 and amp1ii today, 4.4 and amp8ex tomorrow. Sounds great so far.

There are I think one or two other companies out there that offer custom tips, but I had good experiences with both advanced and custom art, and I definitely liked that with advanced they will scan your impressions and you can use those scans elsewhere.

thanks so muchSure! I posted in the Dunu cable thread as well, but so far the Blanche + DX228EX + Solaris has been the blackest background I've yet experienced, but without any denigration of sound quality (which I experienced with, e.g., IEMatch). The mid-bass was slightly enhanced and everything overall feels punchier.
In terms of ergonomics, the cable is softer and more supple than CA Super Litz, and the slider moves better, feels strudy, and stays in place well. I also like that the Blanche has memory plastic guides, but does NOT have the memory wire. And of course the swappable connectors are a fantastic perk, which is why I was interested in the cable to begin with. Seamlessly switching between amp8EX, amp1ii, and my QP2R. I've also heard that Dunu is released a USBC connector soon too, so I'll be able to use the cable with my phone as well.
The only downside has been some crackling when the connectors spin, but it seems to be slowly going away with more use, and I would imagine that Dunu would help out with a bum connector if you got one that didn't clear up.
Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase and this pairing.
Nice find. Thanks!
Just so you know that cable did not work for me for some reason.
After listening to the Solaris 2020 with the paw S1 for a few days, I can say without a doubt I enjoy it more than any audio equipment I have ever owned! The sound signature matches my preferences perfectly, and I am blown away by how much I enjoy listening to these things. I went from thinking my woo audio tube amp and the utopias were my end game to my studio monitors and now to these! Listening to these makes listening to music as enjoyable as when I first started my audio journey, a feeling I thought I never could recapture. I am perfectly happy with this setup but I may try out the other DAPs you guys have recommended to see if it can improve even more! The fact that I can use this setup anywhere is also amazing! Thanks everyone for their suggestions in this thread once again .
Any recommendations on budget (under $200) cable pairings for the solaris? Looking for something thin, light, with no memory wire and a good splitter since I'm active with them.
Thanks!
Currently enjoying mine through the PAW S1.
