Looks like a budget Moondrop Variations tuning.
What is the driver configuration inside?

2DDs. It's close to a Chu with a bass boost

Well they already proved that they can do pretty well with single DD in budget (CCA CRA). Hope the tuning gets better.

Sharur has posted a video saying it's rubbish, haven't watched it. I don't feed trolls. He's about as unbiased a source of information as Stephen Miller.

The less said about that cretin the better.

Interesting
is the bluetooth receiver / adapter sold with it ?

It looks like Hidizs S9 to me, its a USB DAC.

I couldn't tell if this was directed at me, but yes, that's a Hidizs S9 pictured. It's my everyday source for IEMs.

I'm excited about this one! Is it easy to drive with an apple dongle?

I will need to get back to you on that, I have been using it with the S9 and the Xumee dongle thus far.

It sounds fine, but I'm using 23/25 volume steps to get to a good listening volume with Spotify volume normalization set to "Normal."

Need to get a more powerful source then. Thanks!

Moondrop Kato in Blue, hope they release a matte Blue version too.

Hope it's more robust than the blue they used on the starfield!
