Hello, everyone
Sound Rhyme DTE900 has been retuned and is coming soon.
For $400-600 IEM, the preferred recommendation is TURBO. :relaxed:

Awesome! Can't wait to hear some impressions on it.

SR5 deliivered to me for about 2 weeks plus now.

Boi, it is sharp, too much for me. Now using a 18ohm impedance adapter and it aounds great. Tamed down most of the treble and bigger bass. Also tried 36 and 75ohm but too muddy. Using it with Nicehck black cat cable.

The BlackCat is muddy by itself )))
Just wait about 100 h of burning-in and treble will be softer.

Where did you buy the 18 ohm adapter?

Seems like it is priced well below the SR8.
$750 vs $400-600.
Wonder how it compares to it's younger brother, the DTE500.
I can only say that the DTE900 is the same level of the SR8, but they are very different style. :relaxed:

Actually i start using the black cat only today. Was using it with the OG Canon stock cable, copper with silver plating. Cuz all my other cables are 4.4mm, i needed 1 with 3.5mm so i can fit the adapter 🤣

Yeah, my SR5 hasnt got 100 hrs. I will it everyday now and see how it goes

After trying a bunch of different cables with my SR5, the one I liked the most was the NiceHCK BlackSoul. Tame the treble and made the sound overall a bit more warm.
Don't forget to get proper tips... I liked and used TRN T tips and Tri Clarion... Until I found the Tangzu Sancai eartips, and never looked back

Did you plan a release date? :)

How would you describe the sound of the Tangzu Sancai tips?

I don't like BlackSoul due to too soft bass. MeetAlice gives tighter bass and is my favorite cable from NiceHCK.
Obviously the sound is much colder.

As already mentioned, the treble calms down after a while. I also found the treble a bit to much initially. I swtched to an all cooper cable and did some tip rollin.
Now after I’ve been using them for a while, the treble has calmed down quite a bit. Still very crispy, but bearable. I’ve also switched back to the OG cable and can’t really hear any difference anymore.
Might try an impedence adapter to soften the treble a bit.
