  I am not sure if this has been discussed already, but is there a way to order the stock eartips that came with the DN1K's? I really like the foam tips but recently all of them have started to tear away (I use them a lot). The white silicon tips also has become wider and now simply goes over the spacers, making them useless. 

Have you tried Comply tips? For me they were much more comfortable than the stock foams. There are also many silicone tips that fit the DNK well, like JVC, Auvio and MEElectronics. I prefer them to the stock Dunu tips because the silicone is softer and sticks better to your skin, creating a seal more easily.

I think I remember someone saying if you contact Dunu they will sell them too you

Yes. If you contact Vivian at Dunu you can buy extra tips. They are about a $1 per pair plus shipping. If you ask nicely she might throw in some extra for you though.

Thanks a lot for the response guys. I will try and contact DUNU. I will also try the comply tips but they tend to be expensive. Anyone has tried the spinfit tips with the Dunu's? They seem to be quite well regarded around here.

are B&W P7 worth picking up if you are using DUNU 1000? what are the pros/cons in sound quality? I don't care about portability
 
I can get a new P7 for $255

  Thank you for the comparison. I look forward to your more detailed comparison vs the DUNU if you are intending to do one. Wanting to go from budget IEM to mid-fi along with a better fit but don't really want to lose that bass slam. It has grown on me.
 
Cheers.

Finally got the warranty replaced DNK back. Did a quick listen to check if they work before I post them for sale and that gave me a chance to A/B them with the W30.
 
Bass of the DNK is definitely more powerful, especially in sub-bass region. There is a strong rumble that is not as prominent with the W30. I'd say slam and midbass is similar between the two but the Westone's is slightly more textured and detailed. The Dunu sounds warmer, even though is's v-shaped. For mids and highs the W30 takes the cake, especially in the highs. While the Dunu is has a near-sibilant peak at 8-9kHz, the Westone is smooth and more transparent. The Dunu is a bit easier to drive - about 80% of the volume on my X1 needed to achieve the same loudness level as the Westone.
 
I'd say if you like genres like dubstep, hiphop, house, trance, where the bass rumble is more important than treble detail, go with the DNK. For guitars, metal, vocals, rock, classical, jazz I would stick with the W30. Obviously the W30 costs twice as much as the DNK so for most people I'd say the DNK is the better choice, especially if you're not sensitive to sibilance.
 
The W30 grew on me faster than any IEM I've tried to date, not only because of the sound, but also the comfort and the detachable cables. So even though I will somewhat miss the lows of my DNK I am selling them here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/754081/fs-dunu-dn1000-brand-new-warranty-replaced-a-ton-of-extra-tips

Many thanks. Great comparison. I've just sold off a lot of my gear and have downsized to an X3 with the DN-1000's and NAD HP50's and will just be keeping it at that for the foreseeable future.
 
Appreciate you getting back to me re the comparison. Cheers.

Getting a new pair through warranty too. Debating whether to sell or keep. Love the sound but hate the non-removable cable. I don't even know what else to buy.

Hi guys.
Has anyone tried dunu dn1000 with jvc spiral dots tips vs jvc ha-fxd tips?
Many thanks

 

[teohouse88]

Has anyone tried dunu dn1000 with sansa clip+?? Is it a good pairing??

I use it with ClipZip (same hardware as Clip+). Biggest advantage of that combo is that if you Rockbox the Clip you can use its awesome EQ to smooth out the peaks in the highs.
Clip has no problem driving the DN1000 either. I listen at 3/4 of the volume tops.

Which meelec tips will fit these?

I have the TS1-DF-50-GY. They make the sibilance even worse for me and the mid bass boomier.
 
I haven't tried the JVC tips but the only ones that improve the sound over the stock ones for me were the Comply foams.

JVCs dont fit me well.
Only bi flanges seem to fit well.

I'm using JVC fxd mediums and they make the sound perfect for my ears. With the original tips, even the comply ones, some of my songs had rather unpleasant spikes in the higher regions. The JVCs fix all that without noticeable loss in clarity, plus they are really comfy. I can feel no pain or discomfort no matter how long I use my IEM, unless I put them really deep.
 
Just a question. How do you guys clean the "grills" from ear wax, dust and other stuff? It's not a problem at the moment, but I'm afraid they may get covered in all that over time making the sound muffled and silent. They seem to be non-removable..

There was a post a while back that suggested dipping the grills (JUST THE GRILLS PART) in some alcohol and after it dissolves the earwax just dry it out. Haven't tried it myself yet but it makes sense.
