Here's my review of the newest IEM from qdc, the Uranus - it's a $219 hybrid (1DD+1BA) IEM. I put in some more photos of this beautiful looking IEM, and measurements and a comparison to the Moondrop KXXS. I was a bit harsh with the original impressions, and they seemed to get better over-time, but anyway:

tl;dr - it's warm, laid-back, average resolution, intimate and non-fatiguing. I found it good for long listening sessions and wouldn't recommend it for critical listening. The elevated upper-bass and lower-mids along with recessed mid-range seems a little out of place given everything else falls in line where it should. I like the tame treble and elevated upper-mid-range, however the weird lower response makes this sound a little overly warm and occasionally flabby at times. Resolution is average at best on the low end, but pretty decent on the upper end (BA vs DD?)
I'll be sending these over to our resident qdc overlord Rush in the coming days.
