The SR5 is my gaming In Ear and it is so much fun.
My honeymoon phase didn't quit still going strong so many month laterI’ve had some time to tip roll and really listen to a wide variety of music. These are pretty much exactly what I’ve been looking for. The bass is dynamic and slams hard, so much quality and detail. Not on the quantity level of FatFreq’s but the quality is so nice. The mid bass slams and is tight and clean. The vocals are so clean and clear and smooth, with a nice big soundstage. I don’t find them shouty or overdone at all. The treble is crisp and detailed with no hint of sibilance.
These are more my style than the SR8’s which I also loved for their special sauce. The vocals in the DTE900 aren’t quite as buttery and layered as the SR8. But the biggest difference vs the SR8 is the DD. I like the DD texture and presence. It’s like you can almost feel it.
I’ve been comparing the DTE900 to the Fir Frontier lineup and honestly, I prefer the DTE900 over all of them except the RN6. Compared to the NE4, XE6, KR5, the dte900 is smoother and cleaner. Obviously, there are other differences in tuning but I’d take the dte900 for the price over any of them. The DTE900 can’t match the RN6 though, but when A/B’ing them there’s some similarity in the presentation. RN6 has even more bass tactility and presence, slightly better vocals, and similar soundstage, but at a huge increase in price.
Yeah I’m pretty happy with them!
Can not talk about SR8, but Supernova is one of the better all BA sets. Rich and warm midrange with an overall relaxed and airy tuning.

I didn't feel fatigue from DTE900. On the other hand the SR5 were fatiguing, so I had to reduce its upper mids.From the DTE900 graph and the impressions of some users it seems that DTE900 has quite prominent upper mids, what do you think about it?
Does it cause fatigue while listening? It's really an area that I don't like to be overly emphasized.
Has anyone been able to compare them with MMK3?
Thanks!
I didn't hear Supernova, but the SR8 are my best IEMs of my collection. No shouty nor sibilant. It's so smooth I'm using them with brighter DAC/amps to get more treble energy. Still not shouty at all! SR8 bass is also great and makes me think there's a DD for bass.
Sometimes the pins of cables aren't going in all the way that easily. You need to insert them carefully and slowly. That's what I did and nothing was damaged. What IEMs and cable are you talking about?
