Yep. Thor Silver II is my current favorite for Encore.

Pinky. Would you please comment on the difference of plus sound GPC vs thor II for Encore?

Hi,
Thinking of selling Encore universal and going custom later on.
My ears are more comfortable with custom than universal.
Taking Encore out most of the time due fitting leaks.
Have the K10C and still very comfortable. Very enjoy with DX200 and Sony 1Z.

Encore is quite spectacular with the DX200 AMP4.

Huh, the slightly-too-sharp treble went away after 30 or so hours. I rather liked it.

How does the DX200 compare to a AK70MKii or SP1000 with the Encore if you have any experience. Thanks!

I can compare it to the AK120II and Opus#2. DX200 has greater depth, soundstage, and transparency.

Thanks, would you say the DX200 is classified as a bright sounding DAP or no?

Yeah, it's on the bright side. But it's so full and dynamic that you avoid the usual pitfalls with that sort of tuning. It's not thin or cold or dry... not in any way. It's also very smooth in its brightness, so unless you're using a really peaky IEM, it shouldn't become fatiguing.

I actually prefer brighter DAP's, so this might be on my shortlist.

Custom silicone moulds possible for universal Encores. Good compromise to customs.

Thanks head fi and Noble owners.

Hmmmm....

I've been looking into this for universals since I've gotten addicted to customs and there's really no going back. I've seen Snugs and Westone do something like this. Where did you have these made, and do you notice any difference in comfort/sound quality with these vs true customs? I've read that others only seem to enjoy the added comfort, longevity (vs disposable tips) and possibly a better seal.

What player is that?

Looks like the SP1000, in copper.
