The discovery thread!

[nikbr]

Admitting mistakes and fixing them is quite plausibly one of Life's Toughest Tasks.

After two weeks of my Project #2 being live I had faced just that. I was not particularly happy with how it turned out as a whole. Thus, I have started reconsidering it and forming a picture in my mind about how I'd want it to look & most importantly, sound. So here it comes.

Project #2, Take 2.0 is now Live and I would appreciate any likes or comments, whether positive or (constructively) negative. Also, subscribe should you wish to see where path leads me next.

I hope the picture is clear enough. But is that a new type of planar?

thats possibly a microplanar
there is a small planar driver in it.

Not sure whether i can find the internal shot, one of the recent iems marketing material have it
--
edit: found it, its the one in Simgot Supermix promo material

MicroPlanar internal illustration,



BA driver for comparison

Its called Planarmature everyone.


Joke aside, I got my May bullet spent wisely..
Late to the party but I'm very impressed


Actually my May bullet was shot to DC06pro but the more I read on ibasso dongle thread, I was poisoned more and more towards this DC elite
So yeah cheating this month I bought 2 items, and now the DC06 pro that came yesterday went stright into drawer damn..

Greetings to you and my neighboring country! Keep on doing your thing, I like it

and as Dale Carnegie once said: “Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

well, apparently Waifu box have evolved. We have IEM waifu lore now,
CVJ Night Elf (3DD)





The setup is more interesting than i thought, three different DD (1x 6mmDD, 1x 10mmDD, 1x 8mmDD)
that spiky treble section tough
and yes, there is actual waifu print on the IEM , the graph have that tiny section in the corner and 1 full page of waifu lore in the marketing materials.

Its been a hot minute without new waifu iem from TruthEar... that i follow.. when/what was the last one?
Anyhow TruthEar Gate.
no additional info, but it seems to be 1DD. maybe Hola replacement?


---
If Gate is a Hola replacement,
well, it going to fight with new TangZu Wan'Er Studio Edition... which hopefully not just a reshelled Wan'er

That's why I can't take CVJ seriously. Aside from CVJ Mei, I believe like 3 out of 4 CVJ products I had were not good. Imagine wearing that thing in public. Heck might as well cut and stick a picture from sexy tobacco cards, that surely will grab you tons of positive attentions lol.

One of the best dongles on the market, no doubt. Congrats!

CVJ is doing the throw anything see what sticks strategy
but unlike trying to do it in one particular direction like KZ/CCA do, CVJ is throwing it at all direction.
from super cheap, to premium drivers, to "gaming" iems, to uber waifu iems.

i was wondering what happen to CVJs KZ-AS24 competitor CVJ Kumo (24 BA drivers with soundtube and Knowles dampers)

...1 sold from the official aliexpress store... 1?

Prepare for the next wave of 3DD. The next fad?! The CCA Trio lit the fuse, and now the wave! Would have been worth checking out if not for that manga crap on the faceplate. Also for mysterious purple and black color....Kiwi Ears Quartet says hold my beer.

FYI > DUNU DaVinci FQ response curve and some selected comparisons (normalized 60dB@500Hz)
[Source: Super* Review @ squig.link]

EDIT: sorry something f'd up my attached graphics... hope it works with the second try

The first thing I see on these graphs is that the Davinci has less treble presence and air that ever single compare except for the notoriously dark Hisenior. LOL Beautiful shells, but really bassy with polite treble. Not my thing, but I'm sure those with bass prominent playlists will be in heaven?

Maybe the RGB makes it unique? At least for a dongle DAC...

From 1989 (when I bought my first earbuds, which were some Kenwood buds with metal body. and I absolutely moved them! Those were amazing for the time, and I never found them again, even after they accidentally broke, because I had worn off the model #) to 2007, I bought and wore buds almost exclusively. Now I would own the random Sony headphone, but I never liked the uncomfortable mobility of headphones, so I owned Sony, Kenwood, Philips, Sanyo, and I'm sure i'm forgetting other brands. Then in 2007, I went to a FYE at the mall, and they had Skullcandy earphones advertised for the first time on a rack right at the entrance, for $6.99 on sale. An employee let me listen, and I was blown away by the small size, but the expansiveness and the BASS (yeah, in those days I was a basshead)! I bought a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd and the rest is history. I never went back to buds. IEM's from that day forward, but that buds journey was a really long one for many years.

I think as a kid who grew up with the Nintendo Gameboy, I was traumatized by the ear buds that was included and how uncomfortable they were. I pretty much avoided buds like the plague ever since, at least up until recently to see what I was missing out on. Getting into chifi IEMs has been life changing and I just can't believe how good a lot of budget sets are compared to headphones that I have been buying under $200, just so much more satisfying.
