The Novus isn't like specifically invented for use with the sp3000t is it? I'm 99% sure itll sound sick with any DAP but some of the verbiage is a little vague. Thanks!
Absolutely not. It’s just AK marketing as usual, hoping to get people to buy both their newest items. They did the same with the Layla AION and the SP1000 or 2000.

Any Raven cable recommendations? I figured out the fit with stock by changing the tips a ton but I would like to hear what your favourites are. The Code24 was to unwieldly to use, Noble upgrade cable with changeable terminations seems to be the best option as of now. I'm also waiting for eletech newest cables to arrive, perhaps the comfort will exceed C24s :)

I quite liked the plussound silver+ on the ravens, helped slightly with staging and additional natural air. Tried the hybrid + too but it did nothing for the ravens even though the change to the CP622B was huge previously

I have a raven incoming and was wondering if anyone has the Hiby R8ii and the raven could comment on the pairing. I am a little worried about the low impedance of the ravens and some possible hissing.

After lots of tips rolling and using Plussound Silver+ my Raven is back to the stock setup (stock tips and cable). Just give Raven enough time, I don't hear Raven sound dark or too warm and thick anymore. And for the cable, yes Plussound Silver+ will improve Raven, but you have to really pursue that 1% or 2% improvement. To me the stock cable is more convenient to use than the thick and stiff Plussound S+.

All in all, now I'm madly in love with Raven. My experience with iem is always love at first few weeks or months then it's go downhill and sell them, but not with Raven. I kind of disappointed with Raven sound at first, but now Raven sound truly amazing and I really love the sound. I do believe in burn in, whether it's in your brain or the electronics components I don't know.

Anyone ever have any issues with the stock ravens cable? Mine tends to go to one ear while listening. A little twist or reinsert and back to normal. I tried some of my aftermarket cables with them and had no issues. Is that a loose connection in the 4.4 jack? Been in contact with my store to see if we can change it out. Curious if anyone else had any issue with the stock cable. Thanks for any info!

I had a similar issue not with Raven, rather 64 Audio Nio. Turned out to be a bad connector that eventually came all the way out.

Sounds like it’s either loose at the socket or connections inside are bad.

I am on my second Raven, the first one has issue with the left monitor. When I touch the 2 pin connector the sound will come and go. I don't know if it's the cable or the female 2 pin connector on the iem, when I contact my local dealer about this they immediately replace it with brand new unit.

I’m intrigued. Just got the raven’s today after having a whole bunch of iem’s varying in price from $300 to $3,700 (mentors). Initial impression? Phenomenal. Especially for metal and a great combo with the Hiby R8ii.
Is the stock PW cable all copper? I have a feeling a silver cable would be great even that they have enough sparkle for me which it what I was concerned with at first.

I also tried a silver cable with Raven. Specifically an ISN Audio AG8 Flagship 8 W, and the thing went well, but the synergy for my taste is still superior with Raphael 💪
