Well, I'll tell you that I started to listen to TK13 in my Lenovo nootebook, and TK13 was more alive. The bottom is phenom- enal and the sound warmer. I think the Xduoo X3 is not a good driver for the TK13. Gamma Ray's Heading For Tomorrow music was never the same with TK13 ... Very good. Would you say the next step would be SWIII?

BIG step. Well worth the $$$. Soundstage and Clarity are enormous. Bit on the brighter side. So much Aural information being presented that they are not, (for me), a relaxing listen for a long period of time. They require a VERY long burn in. 350 Hours is generally recommended, and they need Power. would recommend the MCXX version. Have info that by using a higher resistance cable it can help tame the brightness a bit. I have the Fixed cable version.

If I can't pick the color on an aliexpress page, it means its sold out yes? I'm trying to find the DT2plus, it seems sold out. Does anyone know anywhere else I can buy these? You can pm me if the store is banned. 
 
UES for this price too looks attractive

Is it normal for some companies on AliExpress to ship out the same day you order?  Was rather (pleasantly) surprised that about 19 hours after ordering Tennmak had already shipped my Pro's, and I'm used to most companies on there taking 3-5 business days.  Only question is which of the five different pairs of IEM's I've ordered (three of those having been ordered on today's sales) will show up first, since CanadaPost is handling the packages for most of the trip.
 
 
  Where can I find DT2Plus and maybe the UES instock?

NiceHCK is showing as having the UES, although I'm curious as to how a retailer could have 5k of each type in physical stock: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/New-****-UES-Custom-Made-In-Ear-Earphone-Dynamic-And-BA-Hybrid-Headphone-As-UE900S-HIFI/1825606_32633013962.html

What size spiral dot and comply tips are everyone using with their **** 4in1s? I know only a few people have received the DT2+ but can anyone tell me what spiral dot/comply tip size they use as well?
any size spiral dot will fit. For Comply, 200 or 400

Maybe they don't have 5k of each color in stock. This post was from around 1 day ago (page 178):
 
I bought the dt2+ and pt15 in the NiceHCK store, that was on 10/19/2016. First the seller passed a code post as if it had been sent, but I discovered that the code did not work. Today the seller comes to say that he did not send because he does not have the items yet ... sorry ... but someone with this problem?
 
Plenty of people. Jim has been doing this for a few months now. I'm surprised people are still buying from him.

I think the Xduoo X3 is not a good driver for the TK13.

 
Right, maty! The X3 does not pair too well the TK13 (and SWIII) also in my book.
 
If you want to hear something really stunning for symphonic/power metal / epic stuff plug the TK13 to an iHifi812v2 set in high gain. Feels a bit like being in close orbit to a core collapse supernova. They pair also well with the iHifi990, one of my currently most used setups.
 
A question for Twin - if I already own (and like) the TK13, does the TK12 make any sense to get?

Should be burning in but can't take the Moni out of my ears. Esp with my new Burson Air. These things aren't forgiving, low quality files will show.

With just over 10 hours usage (via burnin station), **** 4in1 is slowly but surely growing on me.
 
Without a doubt, these are the most detail oriented IEMs (albeit with hot treble) that I have in my collection.
 
*BTW, listening to Darren Hayes's Spin (320 kbps MP3) on laptop (AIMP with WASAPI output at 10% System Volume).
