E02 is done burning i think. E02 sounds bloated at first now has tight bass, crisp treble and good sounstage. time for R01🙃

Look forward to your impressions of R01 - especially vs the 1A as that's my current main DAP, running the latest 1Z tuning which I love. I've got the n6ii-Ti ordered...

I can't wait to try mine, but t according to DHL it's been sitting in Hong Kong since last Wednesday. There's a national holiday in China, not sure if that is delaying shipping.

Meanwhile, the little N3Pro is getting a workout, but oh that tube sounds so bloody good!

I've been curious about that N3Pro too - seems a bit of a bargain!

Oh boy, after 200 hrs your flight to the clouds on the E02 will leave the ionosphere.

I'll have to investigate the other boards - it would seem rude not to! Is there a consensus or general view on another top performing board?
The R01 seems to be regarded as the best but hard to get by now

im not good in impression. i never tried the new walkman one hopefully someday. im still in FEV2 plus J region. this fw compared to the E02 is just a little smoother. E02 has more airy treble which i think makes up for the bigger sound stage. has forward mids and bass are about the same but E02 has more authority/impact whatever you call it. r01 so far sounds fuller, smooth, better imaging, vocals are tad upfront than E02 and my 1A. its just balanced and very pleasant.

My favourite board R01, but E01 was the best for a long time. E01 good board for light IEM such Campfire Jupiter.
