I am hoesntly impressed by the sound of Dew.
QOA MARGARITA, or YANYIN CANON OG.
I loved my friend's Butastur with my R6 pro II and Sony Wm1A. I am planning to buy the Butastur in the near future.Second Rehabilitation Test is done!
Finding the best source for Butastur.
Meet the contestants, from left to right: Penon Tail, Fiio BTR7, Venture Electronics Megatron.
Night Oblivion Butastur is a highly sensitive IEM meaning that it responds to every part of the equation very transparently. Understanding the differences between the three contestants was thus even easier than with AüR Audio Aurora.
I used the same tunes as with AüR Audio Aurora, so please revisit that post to see those.
I used a different approach this time. Below are the categories and how the three sources compare.
Bass quantity: This one goes to Tail (going forward presented as 'T') ahead of BTR7 ('B') and then Megatron ('M'). T seemingly boosts lows the most.
Bass extension: T reaches the lowest, but at a cost which is reflected in following categories. B comes 2nd, M 3rd.
Bass texture: B wins, then M, last is T which is overly fake sounding due to the bass boost.
Midbass punch: M is slightly more punchy than B and that a bit more than T.
Mid forwardness: M places mids more upfront due to lesser bass and treble presence. 2nd B, 3rd T.
Mids resolution: B takes this one with an overall most convincing resolution capability, 2nd is M, 3rd T.
Vocal naturalness: T somehow manages to present vocals the most naturally to my ears, 2nd is shared between M and B.
Piano timbral accuracy: B does it better than M and T.
Guitar timbral accuracy: B does it the best, but not by much. 2nd would be M, 3rd T.
Brass timbral accuracy: B edges T and last is M. B's digitalish nature allows more bite in the brass presentation.
Note weight: B has noticeably better note weight vs M and last is T.
Treble extension: B extends the most effortlessly, second is T which struggles a bit, and third M which is all about mids.
Treble naturalness: B sounds most precise and without strain, second is T, third M.
Stage dimensions: M sounds a bit more open than B and T struggles especially with depth, so it's very 2D.
Imaging: B images the best, so it's easiest to follow single instruments and find their placement, second is T, last is M despite being the most open.
Detail retrieval: B's ability of presenting details is better than T and that is better than M which hides details.
Dynamics: B does not struggle with quick sound pressure changes, behind is T, last is M.
Warmest to coldest: M sounds the warmest due to lack of treble, second is T which has boosted bass and low mids, coldest is B.
Most analog to most digital: M sounds the most analog or 'musical', T is inbetween, B is technical but still retains musicality.
Overall winner is the Fiio BTR7.
I'm very much looking forward to the Third Test which is AüR Audio Aurora vs Night Oblivion Butastur, both on BTR7

i am a fan of the looks of both but an absolute sucker for a nice green/black combo. I missed how new the II was my apologies.
