@Jackpot77 been sat here now A/B testing tracks, rui 4.4, amp8 200 v m11 and honestly I like both for different reasons.
The 200 amp 8 is so smooth with excellent sub bass, bags of detail and a very nice top end hardly any harshness, a very musical organic sound overall with excellent body to notes.
The M11 is more neutral and more digital but its more dynamic excellent definition and transients, sub bass not as good as amp8 and top end can get a little more harsh, but we are talking margins, and still not totally burnt in, stage is truly excellent width and depth as is layering, not as much body to notes as amp 8, maybe a bit more drier not so musical.
I think both are excellent and it comes down to synergy and preferences... If you want a truly smooth never going to fatigue listen all day experience amp 8 all the way... If you want a more in your face neutral dynamic sound then m11.
Both are killer and I would rate both of them in a heart beat.

Also from yesterday some of the harshness has lestened on the rui m11 combo, which has settled I honestly cannot say but improved none the less.

So, when my DM7 get back I'll have a total of 4 IEMs, 3 of which can use aftermarket cables. If you take the 4 cables that haven't arrived yet and the cable that will come with my DM7 then add them to the 10 cables in the pic below, that's 15 cables for 3 IEMs. So, 5:1 is my cable to IEM ratio at the moment, lol.

I don't have a problem, you have a problem!!



OK OD, not to spend the time dismantling iem's for a Porno Cable shot I've decided to show you several re-dressed in 4/6/8 & 16 cores! Have moved most of my KZ's to the Gold/Silver-Black/Silver TRN's if I've not stayed with the Bronze cables which I love and still have half a dozen in the box:open_mouth:

When I say I have cables squirreled away I mean I OBVIOUSLY NEED HELP:rolling_eyes: Think I'm going to mosey over to the KZ thread and offer up some of my old KZ cables to those in need:thinking:

I just put my two weeks in at my current job. I'll be moving to another job with am upgrade in pay and responsibility.....

Congrats on the upward move bro. A bump in pay is always good, but the bump in ego by getting a better job is even better.

Lol, ok, I feel so much better, thank you.

And giving some of your KZ cables up to those in need is a very cool thing to do. :beers:

I should say the DX208

Indeed.. honestly guys this has been a toughy for me as I think both are excellent, at points and tracks I'm prefering one over the other, the 208 is fantastic very non fatiguing listen, very smooth but with no loss of detail... The M11 stage is fantastic for this price, excellent layering and very dynamic.... Honestly that's it, I'm done... I think as I said it will come down to choices, pairings and nothing more, and as already stated I can understand why it's a hot topic and this will be a debated over topic

Cheers bud. The M11 is very tempting - will be a good workhorse for reviews with all three connectors in one place. Thinking about selling off my N5iiS and DX200/Amp8 along with some other gear to try and fund an M11 and Cayin N6ii combo. Love the sound of the N5iiS but I only want one daily beater and one home DAP.

Now, IEMs are another story... :wink:

Try one if you can it is amazing for the money, but I genuinely think some will still say 200 and amp8 and honestly they are not wrong either.

Think that's a good call all round, N6ii looks great too.
