@Lunatic how is Tender 1 with HM1000 (red, silver or gold?)?

I have the black version (same internals as gold) and at high gain mode you'll need to crank the volume up to drive the Tender I to satisfaction. BTW I don't consider the red/silver ones real HM1000s and don't think they should be called such as they're not really the same thing. For me only the one with four PCM1704K inside should be called and referred to as the HM1000.

Are they so different to the gold one?

Gold/black uses four PCM1704K, Silver uses two of those, Red uses two PCM1702 chips and I suspect the analog design is not the same either, with the Red being inferior. Price-wise, they're at RMB30K+, RMB16K+ and RMB2.8K. so you tell me how different they are.

What’s your feedback after 3 days?

On my side, directly from the Calyx M, the sound has opened a bit after approx 20 hours of listening time. It’s a soft and warm sound, with decent detail retrieval as stated in my earlier post. Not an allrounder for sure, but if someone is looking for a pleasant and engaging warm sound, the Tender represents a good choice! Moreover, the built quality and comfort are outstanding.

After 100 hours burn in, Tender changed a lot, include sensitivity and timbre.When I just got it, I remembered playing "THRILLER" of M.J, I had to set prelude DTR1 to high gain, volume 23. After burn in, volume 18 is enough. I don't know what happened in this process. And the bass obviously become more powerful, the treble is beautiful, especially playing guitar and violin.

That's interesting. Any idea how it compares to the likes of Thieaudio Monarch?

Hi... Just posted my review and created this items here.

And I really mean it. So many years of interacting with so many IEMs and Tender 1 just crossed this all out... Don't even understand now how to deal with the rest further...

Here's my take for the Tender 1:

[IryxBRO]

Interesting that we have many conclusions in common apart from treble... For my ears, my age and for my sources BA | Piezo units always sounded too crisp, bright and excessive. Dynamic units usually would lack some resolution and extension. Tender 1 acts more thick on treble compared to BA (removing part of destructing crispness) and more extended and spatial than dynamic units. Sweet spot. IMO

When I was writing the review of timeless, I put a photo of them, dtr1 and tender1. Tender 1 is one of the best IEMs I have heard.

I agree with you, I also have the 7Hertz Timeless.
