Upcoming release the 1

Sound Rhyme PRADO
Lush organic full mids
Vocals that can give you goosbumps
Sub Bass and Mid Bass so beautifully done tastefully, full , and authoritive if in the mix. Not your typical BA Bass I would describe as more Dynamic Driver Organic with excellent texture and add a good measure of release and control speed of a Balanced Armature.
EST implementation is done perfectly to just add into the mix some added crispness and timbre to the upper registers to make things like high hats and cymbal strikes hyper realistic.
Smaller Shells 3D Printed with German Medical Grade Resin on Envisiontec State of the art printers. Shells are small for 14 drivers in there!
Stage for me was also standout 360* 3D
Pressure Build Up is a issue with super sealing tips for me.
Relaxed treble and a darker tuning made me tip/source/cable roll for me to get enough treble to make me happy but in the end Nirvana was achieved!
If supplies cases still the same as old get will get 2 cases you won't /can't use.
Stock shell is kinda understated and custom shell's are not a terrible $45 upcharge but still a upcharge on a IEM this $ should be waived
At lower volumes was missing the Bass and Highs and need some volume to get going.

Interesting set it seems, thank you for your review @ToneDeafMonk!
Is it just me? Sometimes think Sound Rhyme and AüR are fighting a hidden battle, following somewhat the same route (at least for driver configs) with SR being faster for the latest two:

They definitely seem to have some parallels, including the enthusiasm and size of their communities. DTE900 vs Ascension should be an interesting fight. I do think Ascencion CAN be better, but it won't be an easy battle. (not that they are going to sound similar or anything, that doesn't seem to be the case)

I think there’s no winner because what is better for you maybe it’s not for me and vice versa.
Like always tastes, music preferences, source matching make us chose different products
I was considering purchasing either the Ascension or DTE900 but leaning more towards the DTEs with the talk of the Ascension being lighter on bass.
Am a little concerned about hot upper mids and mid bass bloat based on how the DTEs graph. Those who have had them a while now, are you still liking them? Do you have any issues with these areas of the FR?
Can they still be a good relaxed listen at lower volumes?

I agree somehow with the opinions made previously by 2 users who had both. I'm quoting here:
A quick comparison from me, is the MMk3 has cleaner mids and better treble extension.
The measurement graphs really are quite indicative of how they differ in sound/tuning.
Just to clarify, whilst the MMK3 is better for me, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the case for everyone.
If you enjoy that thicker lush tuning, the DTE900 is a fantastic iem for its price. I doubt there’s anything south of $1k that competes with it - for that tuning style.
DTE900 will sounds better with burning (as ToneDeafMonk stated), and I just have ~30h listening time for it. While this Mk3 is already 3 months old.
As for my taste, I prefer the spiciness of DTE900 over the Mk3. I'm not treble-sensitive so the hot treble of DTE900 is really not a problem to me (1-1 switch mode). Mk3 is more laidback. Btw, using the Mk3 cable makes DTE900 sounds slightly better than stock cable.
Since I'm new to the hobby and don't have the necessary vocabulary, so I can't do a more detailed comparison.
-----
TL;DR: Both are very good iems, and my preference is DTE900.
