Haven’t read any impressions on DX II single DD, so thought I’d share some here.
Tried my gamut of tips, cables. Sticking with Spiral dot ++ for now.
Dx2 is pretty flexible as far as signature.
Have three PW cables I’ve been testing with it—four wire Loki, No.10, and that 7fold pipe four wire that’s a copper/silver hybrid (but not SPC) with more copper components than silver.
Dx2 is thickest, warmest, bassiest and most resonant with 7fold. Notwithstanding, it still manages to remain pretty separated in freqs with this cable but it’s too much going on for my taste.
Loki turns it in 180 degrees. Bass takes backseat, tonality becomes clear and crisp. Too little bass here, and Loki may not work with its strengths.
No.10 presents as somewhere between the other two—bass steps back up, regains resonance, and stays pretty even with treble sparkle. Stage is perhaps very slightly narrowed compared other two cables but tonal balance is worth it at a small sacrifice.
All this driven by Kann Max on high gain, balanced.
Lovely iem.
Cheers
