Musicteck has the Sakura 71 on sale for $799, $300 off.

Can you provide some comparison between Sakura 71 and other similarly priced iems in your collection?

I don’t have the Sakura 71 anymore, I sold it to fund another iem purchase. My entire collection exceeds $2,400 each except one, the qdc Dmagic 3D which sells for $1,300 and is a 3 DD set. Very different sound with better bass and a overall smoother presentation whereas the Sakura is all about clarity in the mids/upper-mids … it may be too bright for some listeners unless your source has a warmish character.

I liked the clarity and it sounded great with my Lotoo dap.

Does anyone still think the Project 71 Sakura is a good deal by today's standards? Am tempted to either go for the Sakura or the Fealty, but my money's on saving for Project 71 rn.

As mentioned above your post, the Sakura 71 is a unique sounding set which emphasizes clarity above all else. Some may find this emphasis to be too much, but I liked its sound with my Lotoo dap. Musicteck.com here in the states sells it at a great discount and ships overseas, so you may want to take a look at its site.

If anyone wants to sell a Sakura P71 leather case, let me know, I'd love to buy one.

For big sound. And it's not a big price.

does they sound better for 6-8driver iems?
