Dita Project M and Navigator impressions.
These units are provided by Dita Audio for the purpose of touring between Audio Geek members in Europe. A big thanks to Dita for this. Also, a big thanks to Audio Geeks for organizing the tour.
A little bit about myself: I am certainly no reviewer! I am merely a 52-year-old music lover, with a slight IEM hoarding problem
. I like more neutral sets, maybe QDC-like tuning, but have a wide tolerance for different sound profiles. I also have a fondness for all BA or BA+EST IEM’s, but overall sound is the important part, not the tech’s. The following is my short subjective take on this IEM!
I’ll start with the cool looking Navigator Dac/Amp dongle. On this I don’t have much to say. I mostly use Bluetooth for dongles, which Navigator doesn’t have. It is a solid good working unit with plenty of power for my IEM’s. It is a perfect companion for Project M. I am also sure that after Armageddon, the Navigator is the only surviving dongle, since it is built like a tank! Pretty sure you could run it over with a truck, without any mentionable damage
The Project M is a beautifully build IEM. And I really mean that! It is one of the most beautiful IEM’s I have seen, with impeccable craftsmanship and finish. It has a nice modular Cardas cable, glow in the dark Final E tips, a cool little Systainer carry case and a less wasteful packaging.
PM have a nice balanced tuning, that for my ears lean a little bright. Most people I know love the sound of PM, but to my surprise my 52-year-old ears actually found them a little too bright somewhere in the highs on certain modern pop songs. For older rock and the music I mostly listen to they were perfectly fine, and I loved the sound from the PM. They are comfortable to listen to for long periods of time, and the cable is also comfortable.
Project M is an excellent IEM! It is well tuned and well-built with nice accessories. Despite the odd problems in the highs for me I would absolutely recommend trying them if you have the chance! They might be perfect for you.
