Not sure if anyone has the stock N6ii + R01 and do a comparison with the N6ii Titanium.
Very curious on the difference
Curiosity cists a lot.

I know that andy said there are differences in materials and shielding that could affect the sound. But Im going to go out on a limb and say chances are incredibly slim that there is any real actual audible difference. I think the real choice at that point is likely just which materials or color scheme anyone may like more.

I've seen self confessed audiophiles who can "hear" audio enhancements by having a black wallpaper in their desktop screen playing via JRiver. SMH..

Honestly I don't think there should be real life differences sound wise, heat dissipation and weight for sure (and limited edition appeal) but otherwise I am quite doubtful...

Anything one choses to believe becomes real until they get on HF.

Beauty of it, they can hear better sound simply by believing isn't that beautiful?

I believe that @Andykong has said either on this thread or elsewhere that sound differences are minimal if not non-existent.

I think the early impressions by Zeppelin & Co of the differences between TI R01 and non-TI R01 are likely a sales pitch more than anything else... (to wit., "An intense, direct listen of liquid texture, presented with zeal and energy.") Sounds more like the results of a beer tasting evening to me.

Still waiting for my R01 but no idea if its been sent or not and with Cayin saying they only have enough parts for a small batch no idea when I will get one.

Its just like the A02 all over again, but that worked out OK in the end.
