Hi everyone - can I get some advice or guidance please?
Do you think the DX150 with AMP 8 module is a good match with the S8 Pro technically (no hiss)?
Would really appreciate some help please
Thanks

Very accurate, unbiased review it is indeed the feedback I got from many users of Roland it is dark sounding IEM not everyone's cup of tea, but despite that I want to try it once to listen for trial price of secondhand :)

I've recently tried an s8z from my dealer and bought the custom version. Really excited to hear them (first ciem).
I'm excited to hear your impression of the S8Z as a custom. I've owned 3 pairs of CIEM's but never a universal model molded into custom. Keep us updated please!

Great review. I appreciate that you included your impression after EQ'ing. I've been very curious to try the Rolands and am not afraid to EQ with the DSP DAC's I own. Your review was fun to read!

Hello! Thank you! Try your own EQ on it and tell us what all made it more interesting for you. :blush:

Nice! Keep em' coming...



Nice. You've found the V14 to be a little overwhelming and maybe tiresome for your taste, how are you finding the S8z in comparison? And btw, I've heard S8F had a pretty deep and audible bass, do it still presents that strength? People always talk about it being bright or aggressive.
These IEMs have very few deep impressions/review as of right now.

The bass is refined a bit, not quite as agressive as the S8F. Plenty good however. Whats better though, is the mids, they are not as V shaped, and the treble isn't quite as hot as the S8F and yet slightly more sparkly. Overall A+ would listen!

I didn't find the V14 tiresome unless I really cranked the volume. It wasn't bad at all. It was more the sound signature was too tilted to the high end. Mids wern't as bold and rich as I like, nor was the bass as hard hitting as some of the better 10mm dynamics.

The Fearless x Crinacle Dawn are here! I have the first review loaner unit for North America here from Linsoul. It's a stunning looking IEM.

I posted some of my first impressions on my site here: https://www.antdroid.net/2020/03/first-impressions-fearless-x-crinacle.html

I'm sure if you've followed this IEM's development, you'll have seen the graph for it from Crinacle, but here's my own set of measurements, just to check for any unit variation and it looks pretty close to the other measurements.

Nice! Looking forward to your review, super intrigued by the Fearless x Crinacle Dawn.

I've been messing around with my EARS and REW all day and came up with a nice tuning for the S8Z and MiniDSP HA-DSP. It's subtle but I like it. I'm happy to share the file if anyone wants it.

If you are a Fearless Roland owner: please try this P-EQ with your set and let me know what it does for you!

Doesn't work with Graphic EQ, it has to be the "shelf" ones.

As you can guess from my basic lingo, this was not prepared by me. One of my friends recommended it to me.

I am not saying what it's supposed to do, although you can guess parts of the answer :)

Please try and share impressions, Thanks!

I've been wanting to try Rolands for quite a while mostly just to play with some PEQ settings. I hope other share their settings as well. Thanks for posting this. Did your friend tune by listening or did he use software?
