Looking forward to your thoughts! I hope that you love them as much as I do!Hopefully mine will arrive this week I am curious to hear them. First the Dita Audio Dream review.
Mine arrived today.... need to start listening
Fidue A91 Sirius (~USD 900) vs Dunu DK-3001 (~USD 470-500)
Fidue A91 Sirius and Dunu DK-3001 Frequency comparisons
Overall build quality is excellent on both, and neither skimp on materials. I would say that the overall finish on the Sirius is perhaps a notch up though. Accessories are on par – both have very good packages. The DK-3001 of course includes 2 cables (balanced and SE) where the Sirius accomplishes this with the adaptors. Dunu DK-3001 With fit and comfort – I have to give this to the Sirius. The smooth and rounded internal faces ultimately trump the DK-3001's slight internal ridges.
Sonically there are some similarities. Both are well balanced earphones in their own way – the DK-3001 having the more traditional shallow mid-bass hump, moderate dip in lower mid-range, and more extension through the lower and upper treble. Both have an upper mid-range emphasis. Where the DK-3001 shines is in its overall signature balance and extension throughout the frequency range. The Sirius accomplishes the same goals through different methods – a little less bass which allows the mid-range and lower treble to be well focussed without needing any further emphasis. I love both earphones for their signatures, and it is actually quite difficult for me to pick a preference on sonics alone. For my own personal preferences I've always appreciated a slightly cleaner and cooler sound - and for me personally the Sirius delivers this slightly better, but I could definitely see opinions being divided.
There is a big difference in overall cost between the two. If the cost wasn't a factor I'd lean towards the Sirius as a personal preference – but both are truly excellent sounding monitors, and if bang for your buck is a factor then the DK-3001 more than holds its own.
Me too, the "ridge" is very uncomfortable. Sonically, it is only me remembering or at least trying to remember the A91. I do think Dunu is heading in the right direction. Even the size of the shell is great just the ergonomics arrgh! I use tips that only allow the shell minimum contact with my skin.Yep - if you take value into account. From my review:
I just wish they'd put the DK-3001 into a better more ergonomic shell. Its the one let-down which could have had a lot of improvement. Sonically though - esp for the price - DK-3001 punches way above its cost.

Personally I feel the treble is spot on.the next step in achieving an even better sound is to bring more treble to the mix!
I was thinking the same. I feel it's pretty spot on where it is.Ugh! No more treble.
