Hello guys,

Not wanting to buy a dap for this but I'm jsut wondering if this can be driven easily by a smart phone say an iPhone? Anyone can try it?

These are very easy to drive. No need for a dap.

with the foam memory comply can you improve the bass of the Shuoer Tape?

Some nice eq with a good cable and tips is about all you can do for bass unless someone is feeling adventurous AF and wants to take it appart for modding

Given the design of this one I'd highly recommend against trying to take this fully apart given how the electrostat is stacked on top of the DD.

Can you put foam in the nozzle though? That might help dampen the highs to give the bass a boost.

Unfortunately I'm still waiting for mine too arrive so I don't know the feasibility of that...

Does it tame the treble? Wondering whether to keep them if I can find a dac that would work with them.

i recommended full copper on this.
I did use powerdacv2 with hptoy app to do eqing.

Yep, with recent comments vs Sony N3 and putting foam in the nozzle - that should redial the upper end if its getting too hot at higher volume and get more access to the lows and mids as basically N1 and N3 both have sponge in the nozzles vs grills aiding their more speaker-like darker full bodied presentation...alternative to EQ-ing.

Can you get OK volume dial with PDV2 and Tape ? I was worried the volume adjustment would be so small between very loud and medium, if they are easier to drive than P1.

Yes, I meant at the software level as all the E1 stuff currently has no hardware volume controls though I've already dialed sensitivity in Audirvana + for E1DA, so it should not be an issue... (I use mode 4 for sensitive IEMs on E1DA which PDV2 does not have.)

My Shuoer Tapes just arrived, but my balance cable is still on it's way.
Gonna check them out after today's cinema.

Edit: I am back home and had my first listening, after i put on Comply T-500 Tips and another Cable.
The Details are impressive, but somehow they lack serious Bass compared to my ZS10 Pros or ZSX.
Let's listen some more and see if those gonna be my daily drivers.

Is the bass that bad? If so it might be a deal breaker for me... I'm sitting on the fence with this pair. Given the details I'm intrigued but the lack of bass is going to be problematic, like how I feel about the Tin P1. I own several full sized headphones that have really deep and detailed bass line (th900, lcd-3, Modhouse Argons) and if I run into a bass lite pair of headphones, it's usually a no go. I have a KZ Zsx as my first pair of chifi iem and though its bass is rly nice, the details seem to be lost on some sweeping edm tracks. The Tape seems to solve the detail part but hearing about the lack of bass makes me go ;(
