I have the UPG and the UPG Ref, but can anyone summarize a bit about the difference of Flex, UPG, UPG Rh+ and UPG Ref? Thx~
My PTK2017S arrived today .That's a good question! I guess if you had the MMCX like pictured it's the Rh+ but instead of Oyaide MMCX it's the Ref (OFC copper) version of the MMCX. And the way it's differentiated from the Ref is that the choker is not darker coloured maple but the Rh+ type light coloured wooden. I'll ask the Brise Audio guys how to tell the difference.
BTW, the PTK2017S was very limited and not sold after the show today. There's another show next weekend by e-earphone (PotaFes), I don't know what Brise is going to show there.
After a couple of hours spent trying the UPG001Ref 8 wires, I decided to pull the trigger and give it a chance as the increase in soundstage was appealing.
I have have been giving it relatively low listening time in the past week, and will compare it more attentively with the Dita cable, but as the cable and my brain burn in, I do confirm my initial impression: wider stage, less treble energy.
Other changes compared to the Dita is clearly more extended bass.
The deciding factor as to wether to keep the cable always on or not will be comparing the trebles: I am not sure yet if I only lose energy, or also extension and details; more critical listening will be required.
What will it be for (i.e which headphone/earphones)?
Ergonomically challenging I think. But I guess if you use it stationary (i.e. not on-the-go) may be ok.Exclusively the Dita Dream

i think both peter wong of pwaudio and http://e4ua.jp/ both do CM to Fitear.That is a neat solution . I have an MMCX to FitEar but I don't have a MMCX terminated Brise Audio cable. I'm wondering if I want consider converting one of my UPG001Ref (2-pin) cables to MMCX then I can leverage on this adapter (and compare the PTK2017S against the UPG001Ref)
