Seriously fun IEM, warm and good soundstage. Read Redcarmoose's review and have a listen to SiriusB's YouTube sample. I love Olina and Meteor, but these get more use! :L3000:
Sure i will go check this out....older Tipsy IEM doesn't get praise but these seem to be more promising....

CCA CRA+ is warm with good soundstage and i love them, so a version of them with better technical performance would be fabulous!!

My review of KBEAR INK is up HERE on headfi and HERE on my No Borders Audiophile blog.

I'm mitiged about those, because for 70$ you get ALOT of value, i mean, as a whole package due to generous accessories and good cable....but the sound isn't what i would call an upgrade from the acclaimed Diamond....i remember some people finding Diamond too bright and some other too V shape...well, the Ink is brighter and bassier...might be appealing for basshead.

THE PLUS:
-Well balanced bright V shape
-fun bassy tuning
-good macro resolution
-fast thumping bass
-no invasive sibilance
-hint of highs sparkle and air
-generous accessories
-nice construction

THE MINUS:
-hint boomy and overly resonant bass
-recessed lean mids
-thin dryish timbre
-not the most versatile tuning

OH, thats so so exciting. Can't wait to share first impressions about this new DAP!

The TEMPOTEC V6 Dual AK4493SE DAC Music player was already extremely competitive in pricing (300$), but the super early bird on KICKSTARTER will be even more of a bargain: 270$!

If i understand correctly, it will be the supreme do it all mid-tier DAP, like the V1A on steroid and with better DAC. It seem you can use dongles with it too (usb in), making it a music station with LOT of possibilities. I've never been that excited for a DAP release cause yes, the price is very affordable for something that might represent a end game DAP for some. Oh, and the 4500mah battery promise long autonomy.

specs and features:
Full format decoding: DSD512 native, MQA 16X, DXD, PCM 32bit/768kHz
Open Android OS: Android 8.1
Deeply optimized OS: SRC bypass architecture makes music transferring efficiently at low latency.
Music source: Micro SD, USB DAC In, Bluetooth5.0, AirPlay.
V6 hardware: 2*4.4mm, 2*3.5mm, 4.2' touch screen, 4500mAh battery
DAC:2*AK4493SE
Processor: Snapdragon 425 @RAM 2GB ROM 16GB
SNR: 124dB; DNR: 124dB; THD+N:-111dB
Output level: 2VRMS/3.5mm ,4VRMS/4.4mm

I have been out from the forum for maybe 2-3 months, so someone hit me which is the new hype train? Is it KZ ESX?
Well, there quite a lot of hype train going on in fact lol

Moondrop Chu chu train is one of them, crisp neutral value.

CCA CRA+ begin to look like a hype that begin to lenght more than some weeks...and i do enjoy them quite alot too.

Reecho SG01 Ova begin to gain success...

For KZ, the EDA balanced get alot of praise too.
their a KZ EDX Ultra/CRA+ hyping dilema too it seem. to each their camp here, both offering high sound value.

for planar Shoer S12 get alot of hype too (havent try)

SO how was the gym session mate?

T1S got quite good reception from what I read...warm V shape?

wonder how they compare to Ibasso IT00

Man the session was great hehe.
I agree on the warm V-shape sound, I find the bass to be more than what I prefer. For bass-heavy tracks it kind of gets boomy. But it's a brand new set so I am gonna give it a few hours of burn-in before I finalize my thoughts. I have never heard the IT00 so I can't comment on the comparison, sorry bro.
