Elysian Annihilator 2023

[DAPpower]

I can't seem to decide between these 3 eartips, all of them are excellent on the Anni 2023!
I've never had this problem with other IEMs


1. Divinus Velvet Wide Bore: Upper mids boost, massive soundstage boost, superior seperation more air for treble and mids.
(Easy to get through nozzle)

2. Canal Works CWU-GECM: Decent staging but not as massive as Divinus Wide Bore, excellent treble texture and good bass control. Boosts midrage.
(a little tough to get through nozzle, had to buy these from Amazon Japan and I have S/M/L sizes)

3. Azla Sedna Light Short: Much more forward which boosts clarity and prescense, decent bass response, vocal texture boost, very relaxing presentation despite the fowardness. I could probably fall asleep with these eartips (in a good way).
(a little tough to get through nozzle but with practice it becomes easy)


You guys should give them a try!

I've tried a bunch of attachments and at the moment, for me, the best attachments for Anni are Elecom Spare Ear Cap (EHP-CAP10)

I checked out the Elysian Apostle at Canjam NYC and I was impressed. The unit has good bass, excellent instrument separation, and the impedance matches well with my Sony Dap. Can wait for my tour listen sessions.

Ever tried with the coireir brass?

Ever tried with the coireir brass?

I did it's an ok pairing but maybe I need more time with it. The Coreir is a betting pairing with bassier IEMs

Hello from CanJam NY 2025. The Apostle made me a follower. Ergonomics is improved from the annihilator and if you are looking for big, all genre iems, this is a must listen.

My gf has the same sentiment. Its a great all arounder!

There's also a Headfi comparison review between these two sets already,

I really like it!

Yes, the treble extension is what catches you at first, but then you realize the bass is amazing

I really like it!

Moi aussi! After a few days listening to sus og, I plugged the anni into the holo Bliss and was simply wowed by the bass on my new favorite electronica tracks...

I finally got a chance to try the BGVP copper liquid silicone tips against my favorite Corier Brass.

The BGVP is a smaller size L than the Corier. I just pushed them a little deeper into my ear and so the seal was good. It's also harder to get onto the Anni. Also it doesn't stick out as far from the Anni as the corier, so some people will like that better. For me I slightly prefer the fit of the corier for long sessions since the anni doesn't rest on my concha.

As far as sound... Both make the bass seem more tight and defined. The Corier however had more sub bass presence. On the high end I found the BGVP slightly less extended and had a slight metallic coloration. Honestly, if I didn't compare it to the corier brass, the BGVP has a lot going for it. But in the end, I definitely preferred the corier. I even tried not listening to the Corier for a couple of days just to see if brain burn in affected my analysis. Nope.

Of course YMMV.

Yeah i think they should be considered pretty much the must-go tips for the anni. Gonna have a special made cable for them too, i know a great guy who makes them, i'll report on if/how much they improve the sound!

I'm very happy with my Lavricables Grand iem cables for my Anni 2023. They absolutely slay the stock Liquid Links Martini, much more dynamic range, soundstage, splash, texture and imaging.

I'm using adaptors on the Lavricables at the moment but soon I will send the ConX housing shell terminal and the cables to Moon Audio so they can install ConX on them.
(They will have to see the specs of the cable to make sure it is compatible first)
