This one looks very interesting!

Yeah, I’m really excited about the Dusk. The tuning looks so ideal.

Furhter impressions of Blessing 2:
After wearing them for 5 hours straight, no signs of discomfort. They are more comfortable than the Stagediver In-Ears for me( I am southeast asian) This is a huge plus for me, most in ears get uncomfortable for me after couple of hours. The sound remains still very unexciting, paired with the comfort I can't stop listening to them. Female vocals are beautiful tho.

midrange is their strongest point

The @toranku EQ curve for the Blessing 2 is nice if you are looking for a tuning that is probably more in the direction of the "Dusk" tuning. I recommend his P.EQ highly.

I am getting a set of Starfields. I'm mostly a full sized cans guy. I haven't bought IEMs since before detachable cables were a thing. If I want to get a balanced cable, will any 2-pin cable fit them or do I need a specific housing shape? I see it's a .78 2-pin but most aftermarket cables don't seem to give that measurement.

Would this cable fit the Starfields?

0.78mm is the standard 2 pin measurement. If it is 0.75mm I think they will tell you (for the most part). I think that cable will work with it.

Someone needs to confirm though, because the Starfield‘s 2 pin socket is recessed, but not too deeply recessed. If it needs a plug for a fully recessed 2 pin outlet, and you want a pure silver cable, I would recommend the NiceHCK LitzPS Pro, 8 core silver cable.

Thanks for these, I see what you mean. Just eye-balling it, it looks like the depth of the socket is somewhere in between these two. Maybe I should just get a 4.4mm balanced to 3.5mm stereo adapter and keep the stock cable.

Actually, you can’t, and these unscrupulous sellers need stop selling them. You can take a balanced cable and use an adapter to convert it to single-ended, but you should NEVER take a single-ended cable, and use an adapter to hook it up to a balanced source. Not only will it not make it balanced, but it can seriously damage the amp.

Here are some inexpensive options for balanced cables that would work.

The best thing to do would be to wait for the next AliEx sale, then get either the NiceHCK LitzOCC copper cable, or the NiceHCK LitzPS Pro silver cable.

Further impressions Moondrop B2: I am using a Sabaj DA2 as Desktop-Setup, which has near 0 output impedance. Therefore the B2's frequency respone is pretty much the intended one of Moondrop. With my Galaxy M20, which has probably a much higher output imepdance... the Bass is less thus the sounding appears much brighter.
I will probably get an Ifi IEmatch to get the proper sound signature when I am on the go.

IEmatch is not an impedance adapter though, it's an attenuator. If you want a lower impedance, you'll need to get a separate dac/amp.

 

[MisterMonsieur]

It does adapat tho. For example if my source has 10 ohm and I am plugging the iematch with ultra setting, the output impedance of 1 Ohm will be applied and thus the B2 will have the correct sounding. You can read up the isse about Multi-Ba Setups and output impedances.

This collabo looks very interesting!

It's actually S8 with less heat in the high trebles.

I should grab Blessing Dusk just to support Crinacle as a Waifu.
