Forgive the lack of a proper transport and the poor quality photos. It just so happens that my player is my camera… go figure.

Thanks!! It's one of those rigs I'd hesitate to bring to an airport…

You're right in that it only looks custom made (I just wrapped it in electrical tape to make it look neater). It's actually a Y cable with a USB A in one end and another USB A and a Mini B coming out of it. I think it's called a "dual power USB cable."
 

 
 
I saw the idea on a thread somewhere here but the head-fier was using the power bank for cleaner energy but I got the idea to make it my USB powered DAC into a portable DAC. Luckily I remembered I saw something similar to what he was using at home and voila. I believe they sell tons of these in amazon.

To my ears UM Miracle sound analytically not musically and smoothly like IE800 with X5. In other words, UM Miracle sound more in your face. I use Toxic Cable Silver Widow for UM Miracle.

 

But does the miracle still sound good?

 
Have had my Miracle for 29 months, and it has become my reference IEM.
I still love it and it's seeing more time despite me getting a Rooth LSX5.
 
I'll say that it's slightly laidback and very smooth to me, balanced sounding with details forthcoming, but never quite in my face.
I'm also using it with a Silver Widow and DX100.

miracle, i like the treble and bass a lot. what i doesn't really like is the imaging. it kinda not accurate in defining the position.

I've gone over the entire portion of the CLAS thread from where the CLAS -dB is announced until the latest post but there seems to be a general lack of comparisons between the original CLAS and the -dB and impressions of the -dB in general. Can anyone here give a comparison between the original Wolfson chip and the CLAS with the AKM chip?


Thanks everyone. I love this thread.

Class Solo Original :
High : more presence than Class DB , faster Speed and very good clarity
Mid : Slightly forward , better clarity and better pronounce
Bass : very Good bass impact , better bass Speed and faster than Class DB
Separation : very Good separation
Soundstage : Wide With very Good Depth
Power : has more Power full than Class DB

Class dB 2,00 VRms Version:
High : is smoother with very good clarity , class original more presence
Mid : sweeter mid , but Class Original more pronounce
Bass : very good , but Class Solo has better bass speed , class solo original more to mid bass
Separation : very good , it is better than class original solo
soundstage : wider but Jess depth than class solo original

For hard to drive headphone :
Class original is more shining because has faster speed and bigger power

Minus : only Single Ended

For iems and easy to drive headphone :
Class DB 2,00 VRms is better , SQ is smoother

Plus : can use full balance set up

IMO

Wow. Very very nice pics man.

X5 + Miracle did not wow me. It's certainly better than my J3, but not an optimal match (firmware 1.0 from the tour). I wanted to be blown away, but alas, I wasn't. Has anybody tried the ZX-1 with the Miracle? Anyways, so as to get back on track, here's a long-in-the-tooth J3 being looked down upon by the Miracles, keeping their distance, sort of like a really attractive girl who is stuck with a putz and doesn't want anybody to think they're actually a couple hahaha

That's great!! Thanks Rudi!!! I guess I'm going with the -dB then. I was hoping that the -dB would be an evident upgrade from the original but I guess it's all a matter of preference now.

Pure accident, really.  However, I've been told after it's been made that it bears an uncanny semblance to Sid of The Ice Age.

 

...there could be some truth to that....
 
...i'll continue looking for inspirations for a custom stand

That amp/DAC-thing looks like a pipebomb.
