Yep I want to do some more tip rolling as well before I post any “final” impressions



I’m also definitely getting ConX on something since I have the IE900 and the Elysian X on the way, and 0 cable rolling just isn’t acceptable

are there already cable manufacturer (other than EA) who provide ConX ?

No but EA offer a re-termination service AFAIK

Coolest IEM design to date?

Waiting impatiently

They arrived this morning but I realised I don't have tips in the office so I haven't been able to do anything but look at the faceplates... I really like that brushed aluminum though, it looks really good - would make for an awesome design with some custom artwork I reckon

Time for some creative photoshoot at office probably when you are bored though at office ...

I’ll be able to get a few hours in with that on Monday but I have a few issues with that concept as I’ve discussed with @doctorjuggles
- for one, I don’t think a cable has ever been able to make or break an IEM - any differences I’ve experienced have always been pretty supple at best
- the Hugo2 was the DACamp that was recommended with the Odin, and when I tried the pairing he things I already disliked only got twice as unpleasant
- the Stormbreaker is only offered in 2.5 and an adapter is not included to 3.5 (even though it is meant to be used with the Hugo 2) - if the cable is absolutely essential I’d at least offer it in 3.5, as the current option is pretty much native to one DAP brand on the market
- my experience with the Socrates was very different from yours, and a few people I’ve spoken to have actually recommended the pairing with the Odin as it added some warmth and texture to the already very cold midrange of the Odin

All of this aside though, I think my sensitivity to the upper midrange frequencies might also have something to do with me not enjoying the Odin at all.

ultimately though, I really agree with what you said a while back about us reviewers, users and whatnot being data points, with each one sharing some honest feedback on their experiences in the IEM industry

I was the same. I tried the Odin (and Ely/QDC VX) many times and tried to like them but never could get past the same qualities you mentioned with the Odin. Thin mids, upper midrange, piercing highs. Just not my cup of tea.

Too much mids and treble with no bass

Yep, pretty much the same way I tick my boxes.

Yeah one of those cases where it’s just so far away from anything I’d listen to, there’s no real point in devoting the time to it
