Out of curiosity do you have a link to the mojo OI frequency chart ?

Still waiting on AK SR25 but my comply tips arrived and wow!! Because of the blue filter introducing an incy wincy bit of hot treble, the comply has tamed that sooo well and all bass and mids have remained supreme.
Love it.
A little tip (pun intended
) is when using actual comply tips, not the random ones they supply with IEMs, go a size higher. I say that because I wear medium or medium/small tips and yet I can squeeze the large ones so thin that they then form a perfect seal and all of a sudden the placement and staging is oh so holographic 
Man can’t wait to test the AK tomorrow and update you guys in time.
all my current tests are done using spotify and tidal (tbh I really can’t tell a huge difference but probably because of...) using iPhone X with apple lightning-to-3.5mm adapter.
Love it.

with the stock Shure tips I‘ve found that soundstage and bass is best when they don‘t seal 100%.I can‘t name numbers obviously, but it feels like if they isolate about 70% of the surroundings the bass and soundstage is best.
Also tested with IPhone XS.
Tomorrow I‘ll get my DX160 and am very excited to test it!
Oh wow excellent we both get to test a new DAP
!!I bought the standard 100 set with small medium large. I’ll play more with sizes with the DAP

I use the comfort plus from comply but have yet to test the large sizeOh wow excellent we both get to test a new DAP

Shure SE846 is on AliExpress under 80 USD. Have anyone tried?

He's talking about this. But I must admit, I have no desire to try that lol.
Hey, they are 34% off lol
Me either. Fake tat
oh, I didn‘t know Comply was a brand. Are they supposed to be a improvement to the stock ones? If so how? Comfort-wise?Oh wow excellent we both get to test a new DAP

just can‘t imagine the tips make such a difference. Nevertheless will try somewhen I find them cheap!

Sorry to break the DIY chat but just had an interesting read all about source and load impedance matching. I see a mention of achieving optimal performance, generally, with a source impedance that is 2.5-8 times less than the load, closer to 8 if possible.
Seems it’s even called a rule of eights and I guess like any industry “rule” it’s more of a guide. But I’m quite relieved to read that because I kept seeing mentions on here and elsewhere of <1 ohm being preferred for SE846 but really, following this, the AK SR25 unbalanced output is right in-between that optimal 2.5-8x range sitting at 5x
Anyhow time will tell. As you can tell tomorrow can’t come quick enough

Absolutely, they hold their pinched shape faaar far better and for much longer, are more durable and are far better at filling all the tiny imperfections and curves. The stock foam tips kinda suck IMO. The closest to them is the yellow foams but they’re still a little rough once they expand.
The rule of 8 is considered a minimum by many but there are conflicting views in some CirclesSorry to break the DIY chat but just had an interesting read all about source and load impedance matching.

Ok, then I need to try them definitely. I actually like the yellow ones most except when it comed to comfort..
