QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

[Frankie D]

Silicon tips: final e, spinfit cp145, spinfit double flange, stock silicon tips from qdc, campfire, and 64 audio.

foam tips: stock ones from campfire and 64.

I find the foam tips to be more consistent in balancing out pressure without too much hassle, but I dislike the sound with foam tips as it loses a little clarity and dynamics.

You might want to try the Azla SednaEarFitLight Short tips if they fit. Mine is a custom, but I use those tips on my universals whenever I can as they usually make the fit much better and they usually sound better. That is for me, but they are award winning tips.

I second the Azla Sedna Lights.

I spoke with Andrew about whether qdc sells the Dmagic 3D cable with its detachable connectors separately, and he told me it is available for $160.

I love my VX-S, so of course I’m interested in the newly introduced V14. I don’t think it is shipping until mid-April, so I hope to read more from user’s who have experienced this new flagship.

V14 just pre-ordered, so I will report back on how it compares to the VX-S ...

Didn't you also recently get the Mest v2? If you can remember, or if you werent going to please compare the 3.

 

[jwbrent]

Yes, the MKII and the VE 8. I do plan on writing reviews and comparisons.

Looking forward to the comparisons. I found the VX and the VE-8 to be right on top of each other. So interested in your thought of VX, vs V14 vs VE-8. Tks.

I am taking advantage of MusicTeck’s sale pricing on the Anole VX ($1,799) and just ordered it. Excited to compare it to the rest of my IEMs!

I had same your doubt about DMAGIC or VX and I bought Mest Mk2 last month but DMAGIC calls me
Did you compare VX with Mest?

yes, I have. The MKII is really really good, but I still prefer the VX due to its overall tonal signature and comfortable fit.

Did you find too warm on mids Mest with SA700?

I actually find the SA700 has a forward sounding midrange albeit warmer trebles. Regarding the MKII, I ordered it with a 4.4mm connector, so I’m using my ZX300 since I don’t have an adapter to convert the connector to a 2.5mm or 3.5mm.

The MKII sounds fantastic driven by the ZX300 with its custom firmware, so the two work well together.

Thanks for sharing!
You preferred VX in tonal instead Mest Mk2, can you explain me?

To my ears, the trebles on the VX were more extended with a level of purity I found intoxicating. I know some found the VX bright at times, but this never bothered me.

Unfortunately, I sold my VX to help fund the V14, or I would give you greater detail about the differences.

Thank you Bro, I was tempted by your VX, but I love Mest MK2 bass, dunno how VX bass could be, looking at FR VX appears more focused on midbass but I didn’t listen to higher full BA than VE4 and VE6xc.
I love DD bass
