Oh thanks for that secret impression I never thought Diana was closer to u18t, hmmm I own the noirs and I recently sold them and got a new Tia mystius iem. Seriously Id love to have Diana but its open back and I need at all cost something closed back!
I heard for so long @Abyss Headphones is working on a closed iem but so far no news, maybe some time soon? Audeze did release something lately.
So I have to order a brand new pair of Diana V2s? I'll send them an email but I would prefer to buy the modded pads separately for the ones I already have haha.
Could I maybe try contacting DMS himself? Maybe he has a few of them laying around? Lol. If they're more comfortable I wonder why Abyss didn't offer these as additional purchase.

Well, I joined "the club" 3 weeks ago and this has been a very interesting experience. The intended lack of cup seal took some getting used to as no other headphone is like this and felt "odd" for a bit. But once that was out of the way and I could focus solely on the sound.. wow. Nothing I've ever tried has been as enjoyable as the Diana V2 and I've tried just about everything (other than Susvara and 1266). The only time I ever reach for a different headphone, is when I need a closed back because the wife starts yelling at me for being too loud (Dianas are effectively speakers). It's unfortunate so many people have an issue with fit because it's a spectacular headphone everyone should get a chance experience it.
I've noticed that for me at least, the best position of the pads for the Diana V2 is to switch them upside down from stock position (fatter end on top instead of bottom), that will give you bass impact and really helps with the resolution a bit too as it seems there is less distortion and a more clearer sound.
Only problem with this is that they dig a little bit into my temples, which is why I ordered a cushioned headband cover and I'm actively looking for DMS Mod pads to maximize comfort.

Just recieved a set of used DMS Mod pads taken from a Diana Phi and the difference in comfort and sound on my V2s is shocking.
In my set up, I used the default position of the ear pads (fat end on bottom), bought a short Geekria headband cusion cover and along with the DMS Mod pads, pulled the headband adjustment 3 steps on each side and oh boy, the sound is opened up becuase your ears are pushed closer to the drivers. The sound is closer to your ears and you can really hear the difference compared to stock positioning.
