There are plenty of single DDs that can outclass multi driver Ba iems. Maybe not at the budget price point but an iem simply being multi BA doesn't automatically give it a win vs a single DD iem, don't fall into the more drivers = better trap.

Well yes it depend but from my experience, only few single dd can actually win againist multi ba/ hybrid at the same price ... Atleast at layering/treble extension

I should have been clearer. I'm looking for for airy and extended treble with a bit pushed bass (some kind of V, U, or W shape as I listen at medium volume and lower, which fits all recommended except maybe Heart Mirror). How is the treble on Aria & Yuan Li (monitor)? Are they perhaps a bit tame? How is the bass on Heart Mirror? I'm looking at Kzs.
Heart Mirror's bass is linearly neutral from midbass to subbass. Amping increases the bass extension a bit, but this set is not for bassheads. It goes for quality > quantity for bass.
The treble extension on the Aria and Yuan Li are moderate, but not the best, they are not treblehead IEMs for sure.
Hmm, maybe for an extended treble with air and a bit of bass, u can check out the TRI Starsea. This set has 4 tuning options from neutral to U shaped. On the "amazing bass" switch, the sound is a bit U shaped with quite a lot of air and treble still. Trebleheads should like it. This set is very technical and has good soundstage, imaging, instrument separation and details.
The CRAs are very easy to drive and they don't seem to scale with better sources.
Btw, just because the CRAs extend better than my FDX1 doesn't mean that they are better across the range. The FDX1 has much better tuned mids and lower treble. Bass wise the CRAs have a fun focused bass while the FDX1 is more neutral bassy for allowing it to stay clearer on bassy tracks.
The "amazing bass" switch setting on the TRI Starsea is the bassiest config on this set, but even so, it isn't a basshead signature (contrary to the naming convention). It is a bass just north of neutral though.
