Hi guys,
Been reading this thread for a while now, decided to make my first post here. I'm still fairly new to IEM/audio, please pardon me if I ask something foolish.
I got my Moondrop Blessing 2 a while ago and loving it. Recently I'm looking for some DAC/AMP to go with Blessing 2, mainly will be using it with mobile phone so I'm looking at something that is portable like USB/dongle type.
I came down to these:
1) Lotoo paw S1
2) ibasso DC03
3) Dragonfly cobalt (a bit out of my budget)
4) Tempotec sonata HD PRO
and.... have anyone use this?
5)
Tanchjim Stargate
For those DAC/AMP I'm hope to find something that can compliment the sound signature of Blessing 2, giving more 'air space' and layering (listening to more of instrumental/post rock like 'Toe', 'Mogwai', 'Sigur Ros') but not too much emphasize on bass. Out of those 5 I've only tried out Dragonfly so far, first impression was it render the vocal, drum cymbals, violin etc sound more 'buttery smooth' which i really like.
I'm also really interested in Lotto Paw S1 and saw some post that mentioned it, does it pair well with Blessing 2? How will you describe the sound in general?
Appreciate any other recommendation too!
Another subject about ear tips....
After using stock ear tips M size, I switched to spinfit CP155, M size. It is fairly comfortable but I wanted to explore more, hoping to find greater isolation & comfort.
I tried Azla sedna light S and MS size, unfortunately they do not fit me well. Even with S size I feel really uncomfortable within 30 minutes of listening. Really disappointed with them despite good feedback from many users. I wonder if I should get size SS and give it another try because I feel they bring out better sound from Blessing 2.
Others tips I have yet to try are final type E (can't seems to get them to fit in place), JVC spiral dots, Radius deep mount.
I'm now looking at MIS-tips by Moondrop themselves. I've never used foam tips before and saw a few users post them here. Do they offer greater isolation? and how do they alter the sound...in a good way?
I hope I don't make this post too long
Thanks in advance!
