I don't have access to it, but will keep an eye out.
Fir Audio Thread - Discussion and Impressions
I've tried 2 DAPs and my desktop system, and it was almost the same.
Could be that i prefer mids slightly recessed, i usually have no problem with V/U/W shaped signatures, but mids (or maybe upper mids) on 5x5 are not to my liking at all.

Your preference is yours, don't let anyone change it. It's your audio journey after all.
Crinacle has the measurements of VxV now:
Must be one of these peaks in the mids that have bothered me so much.
Unless the unit variance is as high as with other Fir models, and mine sounded entirely different

Any suggestions regarding cable rolling with VxV?

That's where I have a dip in my right ear hearing. Maybe it will work for me.Crinacle has the measurements of VxV now:

I'll keep this on my tracking list.

I tried it out with the Eletech Socrates. This made the VxV quite a bit more lush and liquid sounding. Resolution on the Socrates is also pretty good allowing the VxV to show it's potential in the resolution department!

Finally able to heard VxV today!
Honestly, they sound more "reference" than I expected. More linear in tuning compare to M5, that's for sure.
It may sounds dry for people who usually listen something lush and thicker like Audeze, but VxV has good impact and energy to create sound become not boring at all.
A true real contender to the MMR Gae Bolg!

Is there any cable company that can do RCX connectors ?. Or it’s only Fir ?
I believe plussound sells them.
I had @doctorjuggles make me a custom M5 cable to my spec. I’ll share pics shortly. Highly recommended.

I recently bought an M5 from a fellow head-fier and have been really impressed. I've found no frequency lacking. The midrange has great clarity. Bass is clean and shows authority when needed. The soundstage is large and well organized. It is precise and well separated. So far loving what I am hearing.
Oh brilliant . Do you know a particular cable from them you’d recommend for the M5 . It’s the only CIEM I have at the moment .
Well personally, the best pairing I heard with the M5 was the 1960s 4 wire but I didn’t want to use adapters to reterminate to RCX. From doctorjuggles I got a 4 wire silver as I personally felt the M5 has some warmth to sacrifice. It sounds noticeably more extended than the stock SPC 8 wire and still retains a good level of warmth and texture.

Wish try it once. I have two cable stock fir includes SPC and Pure Cooper. I also tried the 1960s 4 wire with my M5 that's an excellent pair but i have to use an adapter which i just use for test cable which I never like to use for a long period of time
