Looks very good! Would love the opportunity to join a review tour, if you're planning one. I'm positively smitten with my Blessing 2. Phenomenal mate to the DK-3001 Pro and I think they compliment each other very well..........
Not only sub$1k, you know UM, qdc, Softears, and others are highly regarded on Top of the League gradeChinese audio companies are dropping quality products at sub-1000$ mark. Canāt keep track of them all. I really wish I can try as many as possible, but the geographical limitation prevents me from being in the updated with the latest stuffs.
Vision Ears too Agree that sub$1k is now domain of mostly Chinese brands. Iāve been following many after I noticed my formerly beloved Sennheiser, AKG, UE, Westone are not the justifiableness/ reasonable choices anymore, after first encounter with blessing 2.Above 1k, there are more competition from bigger brands (Sennheiser, Sony, Andromeda, 64 Audio, etcā¦), but sub-1k is really the place where I see fewer products worth getting with great price/performance that are not from a Chinese brand.
Releasing status?Yeah tribrid but It's kore likely to be non LCP for the bass.
You can try Moondropās original single crystal OCC pure copper one, it comes with switchable 2.5mm/3.5mm/4.5mm plugs. It matches with Aria. But I still prefer the original cable. LCP drivers doesnāt need that much mW to drive.Anyone using aftermarket balanced cable with Aria? If so which one?
Westone and Etymotic are now under the same parent company, but one of Ety's engineers is very active on this site and has assured us that in terms of design and physical product, they are very much separate entities. I trust him. The Evo (3- BA) is due out soon and I'm very excited to see how they treat their first multi-driver arrangement.Vision Ears too Agree that sub$1k is now domain of mostly Chinese brands.

Yea if Evo is out, Iāll definitely try just hope they donāt offer crazy price for 3BA though.Westone and Etymotic are now under the same parent company, but one of Ety's engineers is very active on this site and has assured us that in terms of design and physical product, they are very much separate entities.

Otherwise, wholeheartedly agree and I hope the Chi-Fi fervor provides avenues for a couple American groups to step up to the plate and deliver, namely UE and ADV.
I also hope Final gets innovating and turning out new products with balanced tunings. I would like new E-series units and Heaven-series units.Westone and Etymotic are now under the same parent company, but one of Ety's engineers is very active on this site and has assured us that in terms of design and physical product, they are very much separate entities.

I had the B3 and E2000 from Final. The B3 is build like tank, but the tuning is not very āFinal-likeā. The E2000 has a pretty good tuning, but fall short on technical performance compared to the Moondrop SSR. Itās also quite flimsy. On the other hand, the build of the SSR is quite decent for a 40$ iem. I would love to see a product from Final that can compete with the like of Moondrop, Thieaudio, Softears, etcā¦ but Iām not sure whether they can hold a candle to the price/performance battle with Chi-fi side. Granted, the build of the B3 is reaaally good, but it comes with a costā¦I also hope Final gets innovating and turning out new products with balanced tunings.
