Hi all, i would like to ask between Moondrop DD ( something like Kato ) vs Tanchjim Oxygen. Which one have less distortion and have more body to the sound/notes. Thank you.

Between the 2, the KATO has a fuller note weight. The Oxygen has a slightly thinner note weight, but has better technicalities (imaging, instrument separation, micro-details, clarity). Oxygen has slightly better timbre and more air and treble extension too, but it is substantially more expensive than the KATO.

Thank you. I got it.Between the 2, the KATO has a fuller note weight.

Looking forward to this just perfect as a Birthday present to me. I love my new Matte Steels just had them a week. Hope they do a matte version of these.How late? Like June late or November late?

Adding occ conductor as the best sounding one for S8. Questions are welcome.Hi folks, I would like to share my experiences with cable (conductor material) rolling vs Moondrop S8. Changing the conductor has a big impact on the sound of this iem. I have been using them for over three years and they still play without any problems. My current DAP is SR25.
S8 with scc (single-core copper) - Somewhat woolly bass, neutral to bit brighter mids, treble with emphasis around 5kHz and some BA timbre.
S8 with spocc - Tighter bass, neutral mids, emphasis on mid and high treble. Treble has still some BA timbre and can be fatiguing. Stage is more holographic.
S8 with gpocc (golden) - Tight bass, neutral to bit warmer mids, which is elevated, even and bright treble, which is very smooth. Can't here much BA timbre here. Most holographic stage. My second favourite conductor with S8.
S8 with occ - Best sounding conductor. Warm and deep bass, neutral mids and treble with best timbre, the most lifelike sparkle of all. The best soundstage and imageing. Best balanced between fr. ranges.
I didn't try ofc cables much, but the sound is not as detailed. The bass is tight, mids a bit brighter and treble nicely united with good timbre.
Hi I Love the Moondrop littleblack my own moan is the battery, its a pain to charge when traveling, I hope Moondrop its own version of BT earhooks with a Rechargeable case like the FiiO UTWS5

I'm using an 8-wire silver litz to good effect but I also use Comply tips which helps tame the upper mids.Adding occ conductor as the best sounding one for S8. Questions are welcome.

I found it exactly opposite. Go figureBetween the 2, the KATO has a fuller note weight. The Oxygen has a slightly thinner note weight, but has better technicalities (imaging, instrument separation, micro-details, clarity). Oxygen has slightly better timbre and more air and treble extension too, but it is substantially more expensive than the KATO.
Is it just me or does the Variations sound a bit weird in the bass for rock/metal? Adding 2 dB midbass and -1 dB subbass fixes this, i guess, which also helps for male vocals.
