What about Leonidas II vs Dita OSLO? I read some reviews in the Twister6.com website and OSLO sounds more like I'm looking for (tighter bass, lifting mids and highs and expand soundstage) . Any thoughts?

Tighter bass, lifting mids and highs and expand soundstage sounds a lot more like the Leonidas II to me. The OSLO is a warmer, richer-sounding cable that adds weight and wetness to the sound, whilst still maintaining detail retrieval and resolution. Tonally, I think it's quite the opposite of what you're looking for.

How far difference in price between Leonidas II and LX LE? Effect audio top cables aint cheap.

Pairing my LX CM with Hugo 2, the marginal difference compared to my dap 2.5mm out was remarkable. Now i’m waiting for my bespoke pure silver 16-core cable for some cable rolls.

Left side still aches.. anyone experienced re-fit? Been using for a week, slightly better in/outs, but long hours listening still little painful.

I also had a fit problem with my EE customs. Once the left monitor was fully inserted, it fit fine. But inserting/removing was painful. I contacted @Devon Higgins, and she provided me with the special form EE has for fit adjustments. It did take a while (4 weeks with shipping), and I had to pay for shipping both ways, which is a bummer. After a loooong absence, my Zeus XR fit perfectly!! Strongly suggest you contact Devon!

My understanding from euphoria staff today at can jam is that it's available in custom form and limited to 5 units? Erm, did I understand incorrectly?

Love the sound sig and it's my standout from everything I've tried so far. Very tempted to break the bank to get it if its available as customs

Ooooh, if Euphoria said that, def trust them. Sometimes plans change on the fly and don't get fully communicated :wink: Definitely reach out to them if you're interested.

The idea of a Legend X with greater control on the lower frequencies and better treble extension has me weak at the knees. Any plans for this beauty to make its way down under via the team at Minidisk?

No plans as of yet but I will make your request known!!

I received my Massdrop x Empire Zeus today. I think early adopter get an extra 3.5mm cable (gray one). Missing cleaning cloth.
Initial impressions: Short wide nozzle, finger prints magnet, thick, fit is fine with my small triple flange tip, very light and easy to drive.
There is sibilance which I can fix with EQ. Upper bass and lower mid are a bit bloated for me. Sound wise, I will need more time with it.

pw audio 1950s does exactly that but it’s not budget friendly, I’m sure there’s much cheaper recommendations.
