what is the best IEM (up to $1500 I guess) to pair with DX228 ?
Empire Ears Phantom and Valkyrie!

Westone W80I've always liked neutral headphones. For my first IEM purchase I want something all-rounder instead of a very genre-taste spesific one.

I was considering the dame thing by fidelizer. Id love to read a review
As an only over-ear headphone user so far I plan to join the IEM world. What is the best option up to $1500 to pair with DX228? Solaris no brainer ?
not many ppl used shure in my area.I would give a chance to Shure SE846 too, I don’t know if anyone here has tested them on DX 220
you that kind of person huh...So changing the question, what is the best IEM (up to $1500 I guess) to pair with DX228 ?
Musical with great clarity and spark, IMHOI'm leaning towards Andromeda now . Many people praise it and describe it as all-rounder. It seems a risk-free no adventure choice. I also found an Andromeda deal with free 4.4m cable included
How does it sound out of DX228 ?

Glad to see someone coming from the N8. Yes, I tried it at CanjamNyC, and if I so desired, I could have purchased it instead, but back then, the only thing worth more than my DX200EX-TI and Amp8EX is the Sony DMP-Z1. Hence the DMP-Z1 is in my collection . Now it is Dx220EX and Amp8EX that is worth keeping for portable music and take everywhereComing from N8 background I was quite impressed how this mod combination expands the sound spectrum range to boundless.
The depth and width this thing provides is enormous with extreme clarity. This is a different level of bass I've heard on any IEMs.
DX220 was already sounding excellent but this mod (fidelizer body mod/amp8exfe) is definitely upgrade which you can clearly distinguish.
I congratulate iBasso for its great DX220 invention which has so much potential to improve upon.

I just thought of a pretty good mid tier neutral IEM: Cayin YB04. If you want balanced, I would say Andromeda or Empire Ears ESR. You could also try Noble Kaiser K10 or Encore. I didn't feel the Rai Penta was a good all rounder. Have a look at the Showcase section and get a feel for what's out there. If you can hold on, wait until the London Canjam in JulyI've always liked neutral headphones. For my first IEM purchase I want something all-rounder instead of a very genre-taste spesific one.

Yes, the DX228EX can cure part of it . I often use it as substitutes for DMP Z1 instead of carrying around the big bad boy. Perhaps the DX220Max is easier to carry around
hehehe... stay that way...
It was revealing using Z1...
the toxic is there, but AMP8EX-FE can cure part of it...
I would give a chance to Shure SE846 too, I don’t know if anyone here has tested them on DX 220
