but I actually found the NM2+ to run just fine off any clean source with low noise floor...

I agree

I haven’t found either of my NF Audio DD IEMs to need power.

Yes, I was using the 3.5mm port... ending up returning the unit due to the issue, I had read that running it balanced got rid of the issue but I swap around between sources so much that I didn't want the hassle of swapping cables all the time. Otherwise the DX160 is a great unit.

ditto, using 2.5mm balanced cable..., but I sold mine already. I kinda missed it though

 

[kkugel]

May I ask why you're selling them?

Sure! Micro resolution is not enough for my taste, I'm building my own IEMs now

That's awesome!

so if u are going to NM2+ on smartphones and laptop audio , is there a difference between those KZ IEMS and NM2+?

 

[SweetEars]

and also some reviews Nm2+ having a black background sound stage? whats does it mean?

Nm2+ has way much better tonal balance and timbre. But I actually prefer the original nm2 over the nm2+.

Black background = no hissing

You do know that everyone hears differently and no two individuals can perceive same things even if they are using same IEM. I understand your predicament but this is an incorrect way of decision-making. Folks WILL have different source, tips, fit, hearing range and what not. With so many variables involved, it is nigh impossible to reach a conclusion.

The best way would be to ask about how the tonal balance, timbre, signature, sensitivity, maybe dynamism (although it is very much subjective) etc. are and probably read a few reviews and evaluate them. If you are in a city where there are brick and mortar audio stores, then the best case scenario would be to audition the IEMs there. This will help you in minimising your losses especially in sub $200 price range.

My intention is not to hurt you or your sentiments but I want to help you in making an informed choice as opposed to a blind gamble. My apologies if my comments cause you grief.

Didn't realize this is out.

NA2+ not available that I can see yet on SHENZHENAUDIO here in the U.S..

So approximately US$150. Not bad.

It is virtually identical to the NM2+ but with a different tuning. I recently rediscovered the greatness of the NM2+, realized it can sound that good with the right cable. This new NA2+ really got me interested as quite a few headfiers here prefer the tuning of the old NA2.

I have really high hopes for this model. We'll have to see what tuning decisions NF Audio took. I hope for a slight sub bass elevation and a moderate reduction in the upper mids, then this model will be perfect for so many people.

Basically I want a version of the Black Monitor combo on LZ A7 with DD timbre. If anyone can pull it off without sacrificing too much in technicalities it could very well be NF Audio.
