Any comparison between the Atlas and the Hifiman RE2000?

Currawong compared them in his review on Youtube.

They are totally different in turning.

Soo, I've met DSD... Only on a Xduoo X3 for now, but hey. I'm listening to Norah Jones Come Away With Me album and I have hands down never heard anything so damn immersive, rich and detailed in my life before (and I've heard this album many times). Between the DSD format and the Atlas... This is quiteeee an experience. Can't wait to get either the R6 or DX150!

Ive been impressed with dsd as well. Wish it was more common.

How do you remove the cable from the iem? I thought there was card that came with the comets, but I can’t seem to find it. Didn’t want to pull it and ruin the comets. Thanks in advance.

 

[Phil Townsend]

Yes, how to remove the cable.

The only DSD I have is the original Boston album and it sounds really good.

Just grab the plastic connector and pull away from the silver body of the iem in the direction of the cable/connector (perpendicular to the body of the iem). The mmcx connectors on both the comet and atlas snap in and out.

Enjoy, or cringe, or both Hope it's helpful.

Best if you pull it from the cable

Just how boosted is the bass on the Atlas? Does it become overbearing if listening to already bassy music? Also, how sharp are the highs? Sibilance? Trying to decide between Atlas and Andromeda.

Be careful of which version of DSD you have there . I assume that DSD would have come from SACD. The early (2002) Norah Jones SACD derived from a CD mastering that was just converted to DSD. Later on, another revision of Come Away With Me was made that's proper DSD.

Depends what youre after. The bass is great on the atlas, I listen to bass heavy music and with the stock cable it sounds pretty awesome, not overbearing. No sibilance, the atlas so far has great treble, more controlled then vega and im using silicone tips.

The andromeda is pretty awesome as well. Some say the bass is not enough on andromeda but I personally think the bass is great. I enjoy the andromeda mainly with vocals, classical, and some alternative. All of my deep house, synth heavy music is with the atlas. The only fault I have of atlas is the fit, it feels like it was made for stock cable or cables without memory wire. If you have custom cables with memory wire, the fit will work but I found it pretty wonky.

After listening to atlas then going back to andromeda, i really begin to miss the hit of the low end. Hope this helps

Thanks for the detailed response. Which of the two would you say has the edge with vocals and acoustic instruments like piano, violin, cello, etc.?
