Received my review unit. Just got time pairing n6ii with my M9 currently. Im using widebore hifiman tips on my M9 and n6ii nailed the warm musical way. More listening coming. Love how lush this one is

Had about 20 hours on the T01 and I'm preferring it to the A01. Its like plugging a Cowon Plenue S in your N6ii :L3000:

That means nothing to those of us who have never heard a Cowon Plenue S.

I found changing the motherboard very easy, and out of the box the T-01 on the F7 has definitely a lot more sub bass with a leaner mid bass than A-01 and the upper treble presence is significantly boosted over A-01. Clarity and transparency is greater, probably a benefit of significantly more upper treble presence. Mids are more balanced, aiming for reference and significantly thinner. Stil very musical although my preference would naturally be A-01 I must say T-01 is quite exciting and I could see myself getting one...

I’ll check out how things evolve during burn in though, I guess motherboard need it. Right now bass and treble dominate the signature or maybe it’s that I have gotten used to A-01 so much.

I’ll try to play with the filters right now on FIR-1 with Slow Roll off.

n6ii with t01 is a massive difference for soundstage, dynamic range, clarity. Ive been listening to this with ier M9+hifiman tips

So does the N6ii sound great with Legend X, Phantom and A12t

n6ii a01 is really WARM.
with t01 is more dynamic, bigger soundstage.

the N6ii A01 w my Legend X was one of my favorite pairings with that IEM, however I didn’t like it with my A18t at all
With the A01 motherboard/amp/dac ?

I think a more natural or neutral sounding dap may work better with my IEMs.

yes sorry, A01 with Legend X was the best I had heard with them (I no longer own them now), I didn’t like A01 with A18t.

I think a more natural or neutral sounding dap may work better with my IEMs.

unfortunately I’ve never heard the A12t so I have no idea, but A01 w LX is superb. Maybe buy T01 too and get the best of both worlds?
