My Sup2 came in today. Sammy really made these beautiful!

Initial impression from the Sup2 are amazing. The Sup2 has the most amazing vocals I’ve ever heard, it engages you into the music and makes you feel as if you’re watching a live performance. The imaging and resolution is amazing, super detailed and precise. Yesterday I was listening to Stan by Eminem and the sound of the Rain and Thunder was so lifelike and realistic that I had to look outside to see if it was raining. The mids are all so rich, buttery and smooth. The bass is right where it should be. Songs that call for deep rumbling bass are achieved with minimum effort and the mid bass is excellent. All in all the Sup2 far exceeded by expectations and is quickly becoming my favorite IEM. Can’t wait to see how sounds progresses after the burn in. Sammy and @Modwright01 recommend 200 hours so I have a long way to go.

Here is a little more Rhapsodio porn.

I have in my IEM collection several TOTL as the SE6, the Erlkönig Black, the Fourté Noir... I also love the Elysium and the Infinity 2. When I heard the Supreme II of the same Rhapsodio, the difference was quite significant compared to anything I've ever heard before. While the Infinity 2 is a real game changer, the Supreme II are the only IEM close for my ears to the bests headphones I've put and tried on my Viva Audio Egoïsta Amp. Lifelike, pure control, musical and explosive on the same time. The imaging and the musicality can not be compared to those IEM, with again a real gap for me. And believe me, I'm a huge supporter of all the IEM I have.

The Supreme II are more balanced than the Infinity 2 and have more bass punch. There is no tricks nor there's any coloration to achieve that performance level. So you're realy experience the proximity of voices and instruments, the stage width with much more truthfulness and emotion. It's also due to the fact that instruments and voices tone are faithfull.

The first IEM to put some efforts at that time was for me the Jomo Audio Flamenco, which was realistic enough to give that feeling of holding the instrument in one's hands, thus became very versatile and keep surprising you instead of applying a signature or uniform coloring. Here (with the Supreme), the level of definition is completely different, very unusual with what we're use to. This keeps for the voice a sens of whispering in a full stage while keeping a vivid thickness of the tone.

Moreover, we aim to gain a sens of height, not at the level of good speakers but the picture spreads to be as sharp as the definition. Bass are very capable, at the level of the signature 2 of the Erlkönig if not more. I feel the SE6 more true on that direction, while the warm of the SE6 can also miss some clarity at time comparing to the Supreme.

The overall signature of the Supreme II is musical, truly emotional with all kinds of music and it's strick me every time I put them in my ears, for whom they are a true revelation indeed : "A love Supreme"...

You nailed it right on the head when describing the Sup2. These are a total game changer for me as well and I will be thoroughly enjoying them for a looooong time.

Someday... I’ll get to listen to these... someday

Supreme2 are my current tops as well and they sound sublime with 1960s 4W and DX300. They def need power to sound good and I mean optimizing it’s performance rather than just sounding loud. The SE200 is not able to extract its full performance, sounding dull and enclosed. The DX300 on mid or high gain is a revelation. Coupled with the 1960s 4W, it gives the most natural and realistic vocals presentation amongst my other TOTLs. Full bodied and emotional. It does not have the widest soundstage but both height and depth is excellent and I will say it has a very complete and encompassing and holographic soundstage with no perceivable gaps or black holes. Bass is focused, textured, drives deep when the track calls for it. Decay is in between a BA and DD driver. It does sound pretty unique so I will say you gotta hear and experience it for yourself to comprehend what it does. Treble is extended and well controlled but nothing I’ve heard till date beats the treble extension on the Infinity2. Personally, I will not say it’s leaps and bounds above my other TOTLS (Noir, Odin, Infinity2 and recently departed Erlk LE) since each one gives a different presentation and excel in their own ways. In summary, the Supreme strives to sound real and natural and to me it does a helluva job at that.

Whaou, yours are fabulous ! By the way, I'm listening mine with the Horus Octa.

Those look crazy.

I’ve still yet to hear a single-driver design.

Need to see how I can get an ear on these...I’m curious.

I tried the Horus Octa on the Supreme as well and my conclusion is that the 1960s 4W works better to my ears. Deeper bass, thicker more full bodied mids and a buttery organic presentation.

 

[hshock76]

The black cable matches very well with the black shells as well.

 

[Ringo2014]

Beautifull, very disco !
I didn't tried the 1960 with the Supreme yet. Best match so far was the Rhapsodio Evolution Copper 2W and the 4W Evolution Silver. The copper gives a even more realistic lifelike while the 4W Evo Silver is...just speachless. The stage go wild and the beautifull thickness of overalll is to die for. The 4W silver (at leat this one) doesn't sound at all like a regular silver and the thickness gives an analogic side which I felt obviously unique for a silver (I know it's strange !)...Not the same level, not the same pair anymore. Both Rhapsodio Evo Silver and Copper are quite transparent for me, wich is unusual as well for a copper. Best cost no object would be the 4W Evo Copper.
