It's not, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out if you've been paying attention. I won't be answering any more questions regarding this... unless it's juicy enough, of course.

You can not talk about "bigger", "better" or "more" features ...
Every note is very balanced.
The layering of space depth is amazing.
Both other IEMs have great advantages and disadvantages .... there is nothing like this.

Looking at your source and especially that amp, I can see why you're loving your 5way. I too own the SE5U and have tried it extensively with the ak380 & amp stack and it's a wonderful pairing.
The 5way did benefit from that extra juice. Notes had more body and bite and the overall presentation was more expansive with more room to breathe thus creating a beautiful and natural stage .
Welcome to the club my friend!

That description fits also well with my Prelude + laptop pairing. I guess it all comes down to synergy in the end. There are some versatile IEMs out there too, they can pair well with many different sources. Lucky ones.Looking at your source and especially that amp, I can see why you're loving your 5way.

Are you talking about Empire Ears Phantom?
Folks who've heard the Phantom have touted it as one of the most correct-sounding IEMs they've ever heard, with some favouring it over the Zeus in terms of tonal accuracy and - as a result - transparency.
Yeah the EE thread has been keeping us on our toes for weeks. But for me the wait is good cos I can save up. I ain't got $2000 on the ready lol.

It looks like the SE5U has reeled in yet another rave review. But - with that said - the CIEM industry is as vibrant and active as ever, and it'll only be a matter of time until something new challenges the SE5U as the king of the hill. Beware, it might come around sooner than you think...

Possibly EE Phantom X takes down the 5-way and earn the top spot for Ranking The Stars 2020 IEM Shoutout?
Sounds like we've got a winner!Are you talking about Empire Ears Phantom?

Looks like Alclair has updated all their lineup including a new 10 driver, and 3, 4 driver stage monitors.
