Hi,
Looking for opinion here.
Currently using a&k roxanne 2 with QP1R and dac/amp TEAC HA-p5.
Am thinking of getting a new TOTL iem/ciem, dap and dac/amp or dap with amp combo.
Budget is around 8k-10k usd.
Mostly listen to jazz 50% (miles davis, john coltrane, etc) and 50% pop and edm (maroon 5, the script, honne, ta-ku, etc)
Using the audiophile vocab accordingly, it seems that I like it bright, clean, with good seperation and analytical. I don't like warm sound signatures such as chord mojo, to me it makes the bass sounds too fat and not clear/full.
I will be using the set mostly when I'm stuck in traffic jam (2-4 hours everyday) as I'm based in Jakarta.
If you guys have any recommendation on headphone that you think might suit my taste, I'd like to know as well
Let me know any of your thoughts and opinion
i would go for the Empire Ears Zeus XR with adel modules and be done with it
expensive sure (2,5K) but you get 2 ciems in one , so the versatility is huge
and the consensus here is that it is the best ciem around (atm , who knows what will come out in a few months)
one ciem (zeus r) is kinda reference , the other (zeus xiv) is kinda midcentric
i am unbiased here , i don't really care where you spend your hard earned money (nor it goes to my pocket) so this is the one i would get if i had 3K to kill
and you save the remaining 5K for something else
the hype is bursting in here , so do some reading - but me ? this is the holy grail , imho
cheers
