just out of curiosity why wasn't any Sony or any bigger brand offering included in this? Too low end?

Question for all while we pass the time waiting for Nic's reviews to pour in:
NO, WRONG, your are wrong anybody thinks the cable is the most important. But cables are part of the chain.Question for all while we pass the time waiting for Nic's reviews to pour in:
Conventional wisdom for order of priority goes iems, dap, amp THEN cables once you've got everything else sounding how you want it. The proverbial cherry on top. Nic's cable philosophy indicates that with the great (read: expensive) cables, you're actually listening to the cable just as much as the IEM. With low impedance IEMs that don't need the power, should one spring for the premium cable and ignore getting an amp? And is the leap from stock cable to premium cable greater than the leap from a decent source (say, an iPhone) to a great source (like RWAK380)?
Tldr: what should be the next upgrade, assuming one has TOTL IEMs, a decent DAP, no amp, and stock cables- cables, DAP, or amp?
It wouldn't be fair to Sony IEMs. They will pretty much be guaranteed a last place.

OBVIOUS. Who said its first ?Cables last for sure.

once said and done with the above, the final step...is plastic surgery. shape your very ear to accommodate the iem in question. end game right there.
Customs. No surgery required
bro. I'm not supposed to explain the joke...it won't be the funny...
Think I'm a candidate for surgery, my one attempt at Customs didn't work out so well in the fitting department...:rolleyes:
