Ok, thanks.
So I'm gonna stay with the standard cable.

HI @Ido77,

The stock cable is more than fine to exceptional as most have already said though if you're curious to try, I suggest the following in your price range :

Null Audio Arete Series MK III
VEClan VE 8 Wire Cable
VEClan Junkosha Silver 8 Wire Cable

Tuning wise, there isn't a whole lot of difference with stock vs the above suggested cables.
Personally & subjectively, comes down more to a comfort (Arete is the most comfortable among the 3 cables) for me though the sound is still very enjoyable.

For IT 04, I actually use the CB 13.

Hope you have a great day !

Don't have the DX200 but I'm using the CB13 as well. Gives the bass just the right amount of thumpyness that I felt was lacking when paired with the stock cable.

More reviews please!

Everybody is too busy enjoying their music collection with their IT04 to come back to Head-Fi and write a review.

Here is my review: Get it you won't be disappointed. at its price point it can be beaten.

Agree with the above . The IT04 punches way above it's price point. The only small criticism I have is the relative bright/thin mids. I would have preferred it to be a bit warmer, but I have gotten used to it.

I don't know if Ibasso was thinking about the IT04 when they created the DX150, for my ears it's the perfect combination. The DX150 gives it a touch of warmth and adds some "musicality". With my X7ii it can sometimes be a bit too sterile.

And percussions in general.. found myself listenting to pieces i.e. from Africa I would never find interest in before.

Here's mine. With the Sony DAP I don't really notice any deficiency in the mids, perhaps I'm used to it too. As we know everybody's ears are different.

Then the mission is acomplished. Ibasso want us to enjoy the music again. Not the cans .

Absolutely, that smooth midrange surely paints a nice Jazz painting

And percussions in general.. found myself listenting to pieces i.e. from Africa I would never find interest in before.

Also very true, one of the very few IEMs that can do both technical death metal and Jazz equally well, and both in a really high quality

My review on IT04 is live now!

Quite the amazing little IEM, balanced in every possible way, a speedy and punchy bass, a clear and juciy midrange, and an interesting extension in the treble that makes those shine and explode in the most impressive ways

Also, I still feel the logo looks pretty darn cool, just like a Fender Guitar AMP.

Hey George, I noticed in your review a mention that the IT04 is almost double the price of the DK-3001. In the US, the IT04 retails for $500 on Amazon while the DK-3001 retails for about $470. Maybe the price difference is greater in Europe but in the US the pricing is basically the same.

Hi

Does anyone have experience of these IT04 iem's when used with an AK70 Mkii (using 2.5mm balanced jack)?
