Lately I have been truly enjoying valoq and stagediver Sd2 single ended. I get a very rich bass, excellent isolation and coherency that I expect from single driver IEM. Treble extension is excellent for dual BA. I wish Valoq was more silent so I can use it with HUM pristine but for now SD2 does a fine job.

I really need to try SD2! IDK why I like this driver configuration so much- have owned 6 or 7 dual BA over the years, but still not heard one of the most famous models still in production Though rather content with Q-Jays and ES2 atm.

i've given up on any IEM which has more complicated driver combination. Most hiss, too sensitive or have insane impedance curve. I'm hoping to try a balance cable tomorrow and have another listen with layla II Vs K10. i owned the Layla II and I liked how it sounded with Valoq, however disliked its size and metallic body feeling during heat of summer and cold of winter.

I am getting the Cardas A8 anniv model next week, i hope it pairs nicely with valoq. Currently valoq has been my daily DAP. With the right IEM it is so darn engaging, specially with DSD upsampling.

What's this of the cardas a8 anniversary model? Never heard of it.

Anyone try UFEEL MKIII ??

 

[audionewbi]

First time I've heard of it, looks interesting. it says it needs 9v, valoq offers only 7 V (+-)

 

[calico88]

Where you get that 9v and 7v things from ?
Ufeel is on chinese, or I miss somethng to read...
Have you hear using this board ?

Anyone ever hear using this ufeel mkIII board ?

 

[ExpiredLabel]

@audionewbi is stating the output voltage the unit can deliver. With the UFEEL MKIII it needs a constant voltage output of 9v making it unusable for the Valoq.

One I'm really curious about is the 637sm. Wonder if they will release for valoq. Has anyone seen or found or heard news?

 

[calico88]

do you think 637SM is better than 627BM or 627SM ?

Let me share with you a review on the opa627 and opa637 being used in in a different system setup.
I feel these can be taken with a small grain salt as the valoq truly is transparent in its relating quality per opa.

As per the review of the 637sm "We have the laidback Burr-Brown character but with an extended high end and improved separation and clarity. There is no confusion or congestions on complicated musical passages. The amplifier just provides a very balanced crystal clear, articulate sonic profile."

opa637sm looks better than others.

any review using UFEEL OU22x MKIII ?

 

[calico88]

How you guys instal LME49720 metal can ?
Just plugin without the adaptor board ?

Just got this dap recently, with stock op amps. Which one is better replacement for the amps, muses02 or opa627/637?

This is quite a weird DAP that produce hiss in all my IEMs, strangely enough only my flamenco (11 BA) doesn't hiss even though hybrids IEMs do.

 

[audionewbi]

Yes it isn't a quiet DAP, it has a lot of things wrong with it but I find the tonality very addictive once the music is playing.
I found opa627 reduces the hissing a lot however Muses02 is more balance approach, opa627 eats power, heats the dap and makes the sound too smooth for some.
