CCA Lyra
(seems to be 1dd, price unknown)
Updated with Graph from kz-Discord, with comparison to EDA-bal from Xerus in KZ-discord.

Updated EDA-Bal to be closer to harman treble target?

Nicer aesthetics than the EDA, looks like a matt alloy faceplate with clear window. That would follow CCA CA10 and CCA 24, just clear patterned instead of green insert. Maybe they have actually listened to comments that a metal faceplate looks more premium than plastic (need better photos). A metal nozzle would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. Treble looks more even, resonance peak at 8kHHz dropped and slightly more roll off past 12kHz. Looks like a slightly warm Harmon for sure. Why release this on the heels of the CRA+? Their rate of release is no longer "flavour of the month" it's getting down to "flavour of the day".

Yeah I'd go for the LYRA for the better upper mid separation and smoother treble, worth the roll off to me.

This looks interesting enough to try, but I already have ESX and EDX Ultra coming. So I'll pass for now.

Looks like LYRA will be part of a series of IEMs. Expect a steady stream of them to arrive in the coming months (not to say this is much different from what they've been doing ).

I am curious to see how the Constellation series differentiate themselves from recent releases. The LYRA's tuning seems to only have incremental changes from the other single DDs.

Any new feedback on Leisurely Audio? They seem to stick with 3 models now in their aliexpress page but quite the prices for blind buys:
L6 US$250
L8 US$350
L12 US$600

if they able to keep the warm harman target while slowly add better driver for better details and separation...

If you buy one of those and send it to me, you won't feel such a tragic loss if it sounds like crap!

 

[dharmasteve]

I would love to hear comparisons between the Yanyin Moonlight, Yanyin Cannon.......and the IMR Ozar and IMR Dark Matter. An unusual comparison, yes, as my ears have pricked up for the Yanyins. I love good quality bass. Only direct sound comparisons, not graph comparisons. Any of you with Yanyins and IMRs?

 

[baskingshark]

Thanks for the impressions man!

Anyway looks like Hidizs is already kicking out a sequel 4 BA set with tuning options too, the MD4: https://www.hidizs.net/products/md4

$169 USD

Hidizs MD4 graph with various switches. Listening impressions to follow later:

Via IEC711 compliant coupler.




Tangzu Shimin Li graph:

Via IEC711 compliant coupler. The 8 kHz area is a coupler artefact peak.

Thanks for the SL graph. Certainly up there as one of my favourite FRs.

Vernus, Venus, Vulcan, Vortex.

Could we possibly get more phones with V in the name? Seems to be the in thing.

Don't worry shortly after V well get,

I read somewhere planar IEMs are the 'wave of the IEM Market future". Seems Moondrop is bucking that with a full Planar headset. I am looking forward to Moondrops take on the planar and the reviews. Looks like I will need to make room for a new set of headphones.

I'm not great at reading headphone graphs but thats an intimidating gain region. If they are priced right I might give them a go but otherwise it'll be a difficult blind purchase.
