This puts unique in unique melody. Cash meant for ATH W1000/HE-500 is now on hold for this

Interesting, I hope UM goes for high-quality drivers. The lower end of the line often gets nerfed to avoid competing with the higher end products.

I think you are right. When I talked to them I had the feeling they did not want Miracles users to think these will be comparable...

Althought that said, we are very serious about the drivers, and we designed them ourselves rather than using off the shelf ones.

My point was about the use of multiple drivers in IEMs is not original (as you've pointed out), rather than 'how' it drivers are used.

Glad to hear that
looking forward to hear more about the spec and price

I'm not talking about mids and treble, but in terms of bass response, I'd love to hear Denon AH-C700 dynamic driver implemented in a CIEM of some description. I just love the bass response of that particular driver (far better than MG6 Pro driver, IMHO, though I know some people will spit their dummy out in response to this).
 
The AH-C700 dynamic driver has a beautifully crisp, deep, controlled, and natural way of portraying percussion. I don't know how it compares to the Merlin bass driver, as I haven't heard the Merlin (I've only heard/owned the Miracle, which, of course, is entirely BA).

Really interested how a 3-way DD compares with hybrid designs like the AS-2, Merlin, and the 1plus2.

Does a 13mm driver mean more bass response than the Merlin? UM you have my attention.

The vent system described is much more sophisticated than the simple vent of the merlin. Will the merlin vent be upgraded or will the lower-tier triple-d vent system remain superior?

Its awesome that UM is pushing the envelope in terms of what's capable, and I like how they didn't even try a dual DD setup but went all the way to 3 dynamic drivers in a shell.  I wonder if each driver needs a vent or if all three drivers share the same port?

That's a good question. I know some CIEMs are solid acrylic others are hollow but I wonder if each driver has its own chamber? If so then you're right each would need its own port.

Very interesting, subbed.

 

[cravenz]

Anyone with any clue on when this might come out? I'm holding back on getting myself customs now to see what this is, but I don't want to be waiting rock of ages either.
