See, This is what I was alluding to. I have also been looking at the Cayin N5ii as well as the Opus 1s. This place is bad...
I have the Fiio X5iii and I think I am looking for a little different UI. I think the Opus is more purely a player. Since I have the X5, the Cayin might be sort of a dupe.
Must keep focus on the Andromeda...

Honestly, from what I have been reading, either one should be a good choice.

Yeah both look good ...i have opus1 and it has been my favourite player so far...its light ,hardly know it's in my pocket! UI is awesome, resolve on this player is amazing and sounds so natural, my only nitpick would be my x7 has a bit more body to the sound, but I still preferred the opus1 to the x7....and now the opus1s seems to have nailed it from what I read and the cayin supposed to be very similar...both are getting high praise , if you want a player that just plays fantastic with no bells and whistles opus1 all day long....if you require Wi-Fi bluetooth streaming etc then cayin n5ii .

I got the Hidizs AP200, it was DOA, lol. I sent it back to them at the end of 2017, still waiting to receive a replacement unit. As for spending, like @Midgetguy said, we're not the greatest at impulse control, and this thread is no help whatsoever, lol. @JaeYoon hasn't been around much, so we don't know the extent of her flower pot's exhaustive schedule :wink:.

well the waiting came through I suppose, how are àre the imr r1?

They're actually pretty darned good! And I don't know if it's the fact it's a ceramic driver, but it doesn't trigger my Tinnitus AT ALL... So this has become my daily driver. Bob did start selling some as B-Stock and customer returns at super cheap price too... Going for £180 instead of the £500 price tag. Much more affordable... I'm thinking of getting rid of my second pair around that price point or keeping them as a backup...

Well I don't know much about ceramic drivers but from what little I have read they supposed to be pretty good, if your using them daily then they must be sounding pretty sweet and comfortable by all accounts.

So the 64s won by a nose then! And wow the pm6 are that bad! Do you think they scrimped on drivers/ parts in the end due to finances?
The other ceramic iem that comes to mind are the ones by RHA the cl1 I read you have to eq the treble a bit on those I bid on a pair of those.
Well I'm glad the imr are working for you, all though from reading your observations probably not your endgame in this hobby.
Oh and congrats on the comparison review , much better than I could do I'm rubbish at describing what I hear .

Is that a plastic honeycomb style grille on your open ones instead of the original metal plate? I have zero knowledge of the M1060 mods :p
Click to expand...

Yes, that's the "VRacer" grill. It's a 3d printed design from VRacer-111 here on Head-fi. I sent the files he provided to an online 3d print company and $9 later I had new grills. It was supposed to be transparent plastic, but turned out more cloudy than I hoped for.

@OldDude04 , you're going to like these closed cans.

One word.......BASS.

I can listen to them without EQ and it's plenty of bass for me. With EQ...ERMAHGERD.

However, unlike the m1060 opens, there's a point where you can bump the bass up too far and it starts getting flabby and muddy. So there's a drawback I guess.

Despite the change in impedance they are almost exactly the same to the opens in "ease of drive".
