So, I have had some time now and properly burned in my Hyperion 8 wire, and this cable is incredible. I have it paired with my Noble Savant II, which is a slightly dark, but a well balanced iem, and this pairing is perfection. Using the Hyperion 8 wire with the Savant II, the bass got a bit more deeper and tighter, the mids got cleaner and airier, and the highs are extended yet smooth. The things that really jump out, are the power and texture of the bass, and the increase in sound stage all the way around. Compared to the stock cable, things got fuller, wider, and smoother. Compared to my Norne Therium 4 wire (pure silver litz), the extension up top and air in the mids is just as good, but smoother, and the bass with the Hyperion 8 wire is stronger. I am so happy with this cable, that I purchased the exact same one with mmcx, for my Campfire Lyra II. The Lyra II is another dark and somewhat balanced iem, and I can't wait to see what the Hyperion 8 wire does with the bass and soundstage on that iem.
