Do we have some 1DD fans here interested in the IE900? :)

It seems interesting. I'd like to see some reviews first to figure out where it fits in a collection of IEMs.

I want to order one....

But not sure how it fits in with my collection Dunu Luna, Dunu ZEN, Legend X and the Bird.

Help my rationalize my addiction! haha
And the Fantasy. I like how the Fantasy looks better.

Just saw some comments saying that its bass blows away Odin and M5. Sounds promising. Should be really good with C9.

Okay. Now I am interested. I read the review that was posted and it was actually quite meh.

I am a big fan of single or all dynamic driver IEMs. I own the 3DT and I love it because I love dynamic driver timbre. I am interested in owning an IEM at the level of Odin with all dynamic drivers.

I will also wait for more review... seems like a controversial product.

Single dynamic drivers - are perhaps best made of 40mm of Beryllium in a full sized can :)

I’m really looking forward to experimenting with my pseudoDAP (2go/Hugo2) and the C9 with the Utopia. Between the C9 timbre/amp selections and the H2 filters should open up a world of musical options.

I pair my C9 with Hugo 2 and it is a fantastic combination. For IEMs I prefer pairing the C9 with my Hiby R6 2020 because it better fits the transportable use case. But, the Hugo 2 + C9 is perfect for my ZMF Verite Closed. I listened to this pairing last night a 2 am until I fell asleep. It was so good. Pre-amp and tube timbre. I think it will be great with the Utopia. I just bought a CLEAR OG and should get them next week. I can't wait for that pairing either.

I also have a 2go at home, but I will more likely pair it with my Bluesound Node 2i at home since it sounds better than the 2go and it supports Tidal connect.

As I have really annoying issues with A&K which is a real pain to use, I am wondering if a Cayin N6II + E02 and C9 can make be more versatile and still as good as Cayin N6II + A02 and C9 ?
It seems easy to get N6II + E02.. But, is the E02 board with a real pre-out comparable to the A02 when connected to the C9 ? or still better to get the A02 Board ?

Since you have N6ii, just get A02. Our friend @Whitigir notes that A02+C9 is Shanling M30 equivalent. Seeing that you can still get A02 (https://hifigo.com/products/cayin-a...herboard-for-n6ii?_pos=2&_sid=f4b448432&_ss=r)

I say it is no brainer to get A02 given performance you can unlock for only 400 bucks compared to several thousand. Also you already have C9, just go for it.

Sorry I don't have the N6II .. I intend to buy the N6II+E02 and I am wondering if the A02 is still necessary ?
I could see Whitgir is even thinking that N6II+A02+C9 has still some little advantages compared to the M30. But does E02 have the same real line out as A02 ?
