True. Only other thing I have same way close to "live" natural sound is my desk setup (modified Aune T1 with Siemens E88CC goldpin) + Fidelio X1 (custom cable).
While I enjoy KZ ZS5v1 very much, putting modified ATE into my ears makes me always smile and drown into music without thinking/nitpicking on SQ
But I should try UiiSii CM5 then too, if You say it is so good
I think for $20usd it is worth every penny. If you see it cheaper during the 11.11 sales I would scoop it up.
You can read my CM5 impressions here to make sure it's your preferred sound: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/bes...-reference-list.805930/page-244#post-13737087
It's not as natural sounding as the ATE, but it's great otherwise. Expect to tip roll to get best sound. I've never had an IEM so sensitive to tip changes!
