So, what IEM u have actually?

Yea, sony house sound is definetly unique, n many ppl like it, but it can be possible to mod so tinkering with the hardware could be interisting. I think dx220max could compete with sp2k in SQ tho(n it could be modded too), n for the price it is a steal, tho i havent tried sp2k, bcs how expensive it is.
The website is under construction then I cannot provide all information but I can give you the configuration, it is not the case when use put more, more driver into a small shell :
- Sonion Dual Electrostatic Twetter.
- 1 BA mid, 1 BA high mid.
- Dual BA for bass.
- Internal Wire
- High quality(capacitor, resistor)

For modding DAP, I think it will be interesting.
I have experience with DX200, DX220. For power output, I think DX220 Max is a beast. But micro detail, sound stage and precision of sound it might be inferior.

i owned double duet and still own dream duet. finally i sold my double and just keep dream duet.
compared to elite 19 (dhc), yatano 4, dream duet has thinner vocal.
yatano 4 is the more balanced one, elite19 is in between, more vocal

is the Dream Duet a double with better conductor, or is it the size/gauge of the regular Duet?

There are no information however from the outer cable size it is the same.
The material is totally different:
- Duet and Double Duet: silver-gold alloy
- Dream Duet: mono crystal silver.

To summaries, for quality of conductor like: cleaness, tone/timber, siltech and Crystal is ahead much.

Brimar cable provide two thing: dynamic + warmth, so they are so different other than other brand.

You have to build new IEM, replace is impossible !

There are some picture, very stiff, it is insane though but I have to do to know what limit is still out there

I went back and checked for any signs of the 8-wire DD back in 2018 and found these pictures posted by Crystal Cable's distributor in Taiwan:

45949451_522661814811327_2111083589713002496_n.jpeg

They did mention back then that they won't be able to take any pre-orders until Crystal Cable officially announced it, which never happened so I guess only these demo cables exist in the wild.

First of all, welcome! I’m not sure if I’ll be in town during your visit. But if you need places to audition gear, I can definitely point you to different stores :)
