Which sub-$200 earphones do you think sounds the most similar to LZ A4 earphones (using Grey Nozzles / Red Back)?

Hi guys, i have gone through many pages on this thread to read about the DMG.

Initially had my eyes on IT01 but then I managed to find the DMG at around the same price as the IT01.($100 , confirmed with ibasso that they are not going to have any discounts for 11.11) So for those that had both it01 and dmg, can you give a quick review on both ?

Also, how are the cables comparing between the IT01 and DMG? Paul from Ibasso said the cables can easily be sold at $100.

APB!! So it starts. Guys wanting new cables. You know what time it is. Time to start looking at the deals. NiceHCK got some really good prices on their 8 core cables. Less than $20 spot most going for $17ish. Cheapest I have ever seen these cables go for. Time to snap up on them cables.

Yes I've been eyeing one of those cables for my andromeda as well. I already have a 4-core SPC one and I like them so much that I consider buying the 8-core copper cable:

Anyone have any experience with those? I expect a great synergy with the andromeda but they look a little bit stiff. I'd appreciate any feedback regarding those cables...

SFR MT100 in the house, loving them, didn't like the stock tips (hot treble) but after fitting large starlines they became awesome, great soundstage, crystal clear, very neutral.Come in a small pelican type case and have a rather nice cable. I'm glad I got them.

Interesting finding with the Starlines. Those are at least for me one of the kind which causes more than average accentuation to the treble regions. But I will try out again this evening with the MT100 once more.
Nevertheless, yes, I agree with your impressions. I also like the MT100 a lot. Cannot align with the bad findings of Bad Guy Good Audio. Maybe he received a bad unit???

BTW-1, I use the InAirs Foam tips which gives for me the best compromise between taming the hot treble and keeping most of the nice detail level and crisp and clear presentation and turning into a natural manner. Don't get this with the Comply's because these tame and congest too much.

BTW-2, I am curious whether you know how far reaches your hearing ability? I can hear up to 16kHz into the upper registers. I am asking cause I wonder why you like your Toneking TK2 so much and I cannot bear the hot treble regions with this.

MD has the Cayin N5ii for $270! This is a great deal for this player.https://www.massdrop.com/buy/cayin-n5ii-digital-audio-player

Player is a bit on the slow due to the android implementation. But considering you can throw most of your library of music on this. The sound is another aspect that is completely worth the price. One of the best sounding players for the price and the new N5iis is not a upgrade in the sonics department. A few refinments on the S version but sound is pretty much the same. Something to consider if you guys are thinking new player.

Unfortunately I sent mine to Cayin for repair and is now no where to be found. :triportsad:..
