Fantastic, revealing review with useful IEM options to consider.
I am in the early stages of getting to know my DTR1/Final E5000 combo; the sound is everything I was hoping for and the Finals' are evolving with every hour of use. I am amazed with how clearly they are 'opening up' from out of the box new, to a far more revealing midrange and tightening of the bass.
The DTR1 is so easy and slick to use, which absolutely fits my audio ethos; nothing is more important than the music quality along with a simple and efficient filing system for the data.
I just received the official case directly from Ansonand and even though the blue colour would not be my first choice, it is a well-made, good fitting case at a reasonable price. Anson was a pleasure to deal with and I hope to follow his designs for many years.
Thoroughly enjoying my 'inspired' purchase
