I'm using The Hiby R6 + iEmatch in balanced, I wonder how much effect this can have on the S class tier IEM (If I/other people thinking to get one), simply because the source might not be the best.
well, and S tier unit, out of principal, deserves a great source. That said, I think the R6 is a really good sounding DAP - at least for my preferences. I can't speak for what sonic limitations are being imposed by ieMatch however. But it's something else in the chain to consider. I actually found the Jupiter to sound better with the R6 higher output impedance than a near zero source. Doubly so for the 64 U10. Perhaps you'll find the same thing with the next IEM you get? Here's a resource to help you know what effect OI will have on your IEM. Just click on the graph icon for the IEM in question - scroll down to the measurements at various OI sources. They're overlaid with the baseline FR

very good pointIf the Planamic has a slow decay and high THD, god bless your souls. Even with proper EQ, it will only make it listenable and I don't think it's gonna change a lot in tiers even after EQing.
