DAP is iBasso MAX, and the cable is my DIY. Bought raw cable from AE. IMO, I rank it after my crystal cable in SQ. Likely to my temporary end of cable hunting for now after I am done with the 2x8 cores yet to be soldered.

The Semper is available for sale again, does that mean someone refunded or Bob is making more Semper? Hope no delays for the shipping

 

[Xinlisupreme]

Someone asked refund, Semper and PB2 will be shipped in 45days

It's nice that refunded is allowed. Very steady of Bob. Hope no delay shipping because of these refunds .

In his last communication Bob said that Semper assembly is proceeding on schedule.

I couldn't resist, just placed my order for the Opus Mia

I was doing some long term research on the Sony IER Z1R; which ended up rationalizing the Opus Mia purchase, as the Sony costs 4X as much.

Any logic that ultimately rationalizes the purchase of audio gear is obviously sound logic and for a good cause.

I see what you did there

I think the last batch of the Opus Mia is shipping. My order went from (about 5 hrs, ago) the Royal Mail saying to check back, to “we’ve got it”

So, today I finally reached the infamous 150hr burn-in threshold. Set up: closed, silver/red, Sedna Xelastec.
Couple of short remarks:
1. OM went from "this sounds horrible" & "this must be broken" to "very often now this sounds pretty outstanding"
2. I think I might have already said this - I have never experienced such a transformation with any audio gear. OM goes against anything I thought to know about burn-in. I think it is rather ballsy by Bob to sell the iem like this. 99% of the time this would be a clear case of returning the iem for me.
3. OM is still very picky about gear, tracks, genres, everything. At this time OM prefers acoustic and electric to electronic. Treble needs to get better But hey - there still is the infamous 200hr burn-in threshold ...
4. One isolated sound experience: If OM is in the mood it allows a rare insight in the track/music, a feeling of less filters, barriers between me and the music, certain aspects of a track.
5. OM does something that to me is very important in audio gear: it often surprises the crap out of me (for good and sometimes still bad)
6. Problem: I'm now rather curious what a TOTL/1000bucks,Euros iem can do / can do differently?

At 150 hours i was exactly as are with them now, sometimes loving them other times not so much on some tracks, but with more time it kept getting better and i love them with everything now. The feeling of being in touch with the music is very accurate as you said with these , my Clairvoyance doesn't come close really . By the way i'm using silver nozzle with green filter .

Please try better cable, I know Penon OSG is expensive but I think also OS849 would be far better than original cable

I'm gonna get myself a new cable from Scable (shameless plug) for my VC - maybe I'll include an iem cable ....

You really like that cable to mention it so much in here.
