Oh yeah, they are, but all sounding different. I had all Sonorous back in 2016-17, excepting the VIII. The X was a bit too bright for my taste and the III a bit too soft in bass and resolution. The VI used to be my favorite with Lawton pads (see picture below) followed by the IV (Pandora Hope). The VIII now beats them all with its warmish but detailed signature.

Yessir, I had these and they're excellent. Sucks it's a nice jump in price to the VIII and X, but I'll get there. Keeping enjoying those my friend!

I was very happy with the sound of the SP2000T, but the lack of full Android was bothering me.I Traded for a DX320... Words cannot describe how happy I am right now 🥲. The sound from Amp13 is just as good to my memory. And the full Android, and the feel of the DAP in the hand is just so good.
I agree about the full Android...it's like AK sabotages its Daps on purpose so you dont use anything outside the onboard player. I've owned 4 AK's and every damn time the apps for it never run well and bring things to a crawl. And you can forget about side loading anything. Why pay all this money for AK players for severely less functionality?? You made a good move boss!

Thanks 😊 X vs. VIII = Not worth the price difference imo. Material and built quality on X are absolutely insane, but the sound is too neutral/reference for me. This also apply for the D8000 line. I wish Final comes up with a totl full size headphone with a warmish signature. I would buy this in an instant.

Thanks dude! Yes I really loved the sound of the SP2000T. But sometimes at night I like to see some media like movies or anime and I couldn't do that with the AK. Only as a BT receiver. Now with the 320, the other night I had a beautiful moment of hearing some action scenes with some nice IEMs. It was amazing 😭
