Well it’s a bit if an exaggeration you know what I mean. But the boundary just seems to extend further and more realistically.

I agree with you on the extentions and how far notes in tia can be long and far away im fading into darkness till you hear it so quiet but its still whispering in the far away darkness...

I downgraded from an sennheiser hdv820 to dx208 now upgraded the scale to 1z buttt unfortunately portable rig is still falling behind desktop...
I do miss that dac amp combo it was the best thing I ever heard... It had amazing sound characteristics and dead quiet no hiss!

I am always on the go and had sell it

I didn't like the fourte. They don't last more than 5 minutes on my ears.

The Z1R is much suited to the genres I listen to. I don't fancy my music sounding too spaced out, or too referenced.

What is your music ?

 

[syke]

Mainly Asian pop with a strong emphasis on vocals, and a smattering of jazz when I am in the mood.

With the Fourte, there is just not enough "meat", too anemic for my taste.

To me, if I need to eq and IEM I usually don't buy it. Especially not 3600$. But that's just a personal approach.



Well in actual music, space beyond the instruments ends at some point

I feel the same way which is why I sold the EX1000 right away. Fans of it will say that you need to EQ it, but I dont like to have to eq.

 

[Layman1]

I think the Tia sounds impressive in space and bass, but the mids are very distant and the overall coherence is not realistic at all

Wait, there are factors other than space and bass?!
Why did nobody tell me?

I listened to the Fourte briefly at CanJam two years ago.
I felt it seemed quite spacious and clear, but it didn't stand out to me in any way.
Now I *really* wished I'd given it much more time and different styles of music etc to see what it can really do.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing..

Is this the place for the next FOTM IEM?

We'll find out. I'm waiting for the (real) impressions. Something like this, I'd just hear out the demo than swayed by hype trains. Choo choo.

"real" should be when you yourself hears it. The other is the one you believe is the real impression.

I haven't heard the Solaris yet, but just comparing Crin's graphs, the Z1R looks very promising for my preferences.

 

[FangJoker]

This and the Solaris really needs a tour. I refuse to blow money on either of them unless the return policy is like amazons (CA can still charge restocking fees) as both could be uncomfortable or just not what I'm looking for and who knows if it will pair with my desktop setup. I'm even considering trying to make it to a cam jam next year by myself since my girlfriend isn't into this hobby or maybe get to try them in tokyo next year. Or I could just buy a trio or fourte, but I would like to make sure I try all hybrid options that I have on a wishlist first.

I am pretty sure they will be available on Amazon.

If graphs could be sexy...........that one there is sexy!

It is definitely sexy.. lol...

I need the female vocals to shine, without getting too muddy with the upper bass & lower midrange. But these are after all just graphs... we still need to hear how they are being implemented as a whole.

The Solaris isn't and you're the anti-return guy.
