My upgrade path has been going in reverse for quite some time, but I don't mind. New gear for the new year.

These IEMs are so pretty to look at! They were definitely going for an Odin look. The Pula PA02. 1DD + 4BA. One word that describes this set is SMOOTH. This is a set for someone that does not like shouty, in-your-face vocals, or spicy treble. The bass still has a good thump but does not obscure the other details.
If you decide to try this set (can only be purchased in AliExpress), skip the included narrow bore tips. They make the sound very dry and narrow the soundstage. With a wider tip like Sedna Xelastic or Moondrop Spring tips, the details and soundstage open up significantly.
Edit: I figured out the sound. They are very similar to the Fiio FH7 (same configuration). Same level on mids. The treble is tamed a bit, and the bass has a bit more rumble.

My setup currently centers around my Fiio M11 Plus Ltd., which I adore.
The actual portable setup is the player and Sony MDR-1AM2
Transportable is Fiio into Astell & Kern AK PA10 (audiophile ninja IC) to the ZMF Eikon (with an Arctic Cable 'define' series)
The last pic I call overkill mode lol - the free AKG buds from my Galaxy Note 9 (which have always really impressed me with the sound quality, especially as a free included item).

I went to Japan with the Szalayi at the top of my list, but no one had stock so I couldn't demo and there were no secondhand ones.

What tip are you using with the Szalayi?
