I have some more shots the shells and Uber cable.
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
Don't want to get much closer, I dropped them earlier on the concrete, really scratched up one side.

After approximately 200 hours burned-in since I collected the Plus5, the pleasure of listening to them just went up a notch...just eases all those pressures and stress accumulated throughout the day and just get lost in the music...
 
Am listening to Jheena Lodwick "It's now or never" (DSD)...everything just open up a bit more with the bass wide, controlled and fast. Vocal is so lush and clear that you can feel the singer's emotion (and her breath intake

) with every verse and when the violin floats in in the middle of the song, my my my...it was a heart-rending and heart warming performance by the violinist to my ears and very well presented by the Plus5. Nothing is ever exaggerated, just the way I like it. The music just fills my head and move out of the way and allows me to enjoy the music and not being distracted by glaring high, recessed mid or weak bass.
 
Back to enjoying the rest of the album...

Myself am spending more time with Plus5 from Tralucent DacAmp One this evening. 
 
While I'm still gathering thoughts on the overall tonality I've never heard such dynamics come from a set of balanced armatures before, the penetration of the mid-range is akin to a full-size headphone when at moderately high volumes. When a heavy note hits in the mid-range you literally 'feel' the detail in dynamics which to a point can actually make you 'jump'  if you're not ready for it. Its not something I've encountered from any other IEMs before.
 
And the bass, how they accomplished so much impact from BA's is beyond me. I don't know what they've done inside Plus5 but its completely unique compared to anything I have heard.
 
I'm going to get into them balanced from the sources I have here and try and detect any change from the single ended configuration I'm using.
 
(I have only a 2.5mm balanced Uber 2 cable with an adapter to single end 3.5mm)

Against Whiplash 8...something I'd like to know too...share impressions please once the time arrives.

 
I have a whiplash cable as well (not 8) which I have been using with my Ref 1 so am also very interested to hear warrior1975 share his impressions how it compares with uber.

Can someone perhaps provide some info about what type of adapter is good for this? Is this some generic adaptor or is something special needed to make sure SQ does not get degraded (given how expensive the phones, cables, and dacs are it would be a shame to not maximize SQ potential becasue of something like this is suboptimal)?

It is a 2.5trrs to 3.5trs....generally when the cable is wired for the AK players. There's probably a very little degradation in sound as you are adding another connection.

I don't think there's any degraded SQ personally, not that I can hear. 
 
Makes the overall jack a little longer though which you may want to be mindful of.
 

 
 
The beauty is however it gives a huge amount of versatility when switching between several sources.
 
Real handy thing to have.

Makes sense. Thanks to both you and Gavin for explanations.

Yesterday night, I am with 2.2. Tonight, I am P5's...

1 thing I like about P5 is the rendering of live recording music for me...

Tonight hightlight... Antonio Forcione's LIVE! Album. Fantastic performance...

I was listening to that album earlier! It's so well recorded. Sounds excellent on both Plus5 and 2.2.

Here it is. Doesn't. Really sound dark to me, not the same sparkle as the 1plus2 but it's just a different way to present treble IMO. Otherwise very wide and tall and deep and wide and holographic.

Congrats Michael!

Welcome aboard Mimouille!

Please tell us more when you settle in.

I am happy I terms of fit with the JVC spiral dots. A bit too much vacuum effect but nice isolation. I will try others if I can this weekend. The best fitting Tralucent iem for ne so far.

Not a fan of the cable with the little circles on the sockets.

Clear improvement in build quality over my former Ref1 Too.
