Which cable is that? One of the few complaints I have of the comets is the stupid cable dongle not sliding up pass the mic (that I don't use).
Completely agree on the driver flex issue. When I contacted Campfire on this, they were quite off-hand and just said that’s the way dds work. Rather condescending and arrogant. Yes, Complys and the Marshmallow tips are better in that regard, but you lose any top end sparkle. I’ve found the least worst option to be the Spiral Dots, but they also suffer from driver flex to an extent. It’s also driving me mad.
I’m thinking of giving up on them. Trouble is there seem very few straight down, rather than behind the ear, alternatives in the same class. Any recommendations out there? Behind the ear is a pain for me (specs wearer) and they look like you’re taking yourself too seriously.
I’ve tried R6 and M11. If you’re streaming with Tidal, neither supports MQA. Qobuz just crashes and you can’t import for offline listening properly. Also, M11 doesn’t support Google Play. I’m waiting for someone to come out with a DAP that has Google Play, MQA support and preferably has an AKM DAC chip, which I much prefer. In the mean time it’s iPhone X with Dragonfly Cobalt. Sounds quite good, but still want that perfect DAP.
Thanks for taking your turn to answer....I'd suggest looking at Cayin N6ii with A01 module based on your preferences - it plays beautifully well with CA gear and runs Tidal on and offline really smoothly for me, along with having Play Store access.
Regarding tip issues, if you already have ear moulds, I recommend looking at the custom silicone tips from Custom Art. They are small (just tips, not a whole ear shell) and work perfectly for me with my Atlas with no driver suffocation - they also lock the Atlas tightly into place. Think they are around the $50 mark, so not cheap, but definely with it for me as I use them with both the Atlas and Solaris.
Thanks v much for the reply. I will look at the Cayin. Interesting that you have the Solaris as well as the Atlas. I was thinking of getting it as well. How do they compare on sound?I'd suggest looking at Cayin N6ii with A01 module based on your preferences - it plays beautifully well with CA gear and runs Tidal on and offline really smoothly for me, along with having Play Store access.

Hi - what’s the WiFi performance like in the Cayin?I'd suggest looking at Cayin N6ii with A01 module based on your preferences - it plays beautifully well with CA gear and runs Tidal on and offline really smoothly for me, along with having Play Store access.

Hi - you mentioned you play Tidal through the Cayin, but is MQA compatible? ThanksI'd suggest looking at Cayin N6ii with A01 module based on your preferences - it plays beautifully well with CA gear and runs Tidal on and offline really smoothly for me, along with having Play Store access.

Wow! That cable looks incredible with the Comets! Makes me want to upgrade the cable on mine.Not much love for Comets here so here's mine with SPC cable swap

That sure is what it looks like. I just recently got into cables, and need to try a EA cable soon.It’s like EA and CA had a collab with this IEM and cable pairing
