When you will receive your DZ9,????

   I actually use the FX850 cable on mine. I get no twirl at all. 

Hey I got the DZ7 after reading your impressions on them and they are great. I'm just curious how they compete against your u12 and angie and whether there is another significant upgrade to be found or I've hit the barrier of diminishing returns. Thanks!

Was told that it's almost done, so they will ship it out via DHL either today or tomorrow...

Anyone think this is too good to be true for an 8 driver?

Yes production cost is less than 80$ so its possible to do 8 drivers for that price. 2*dtec(dual driver)+2*twfk(dual driver)

  Check this AE store for many Takstar and ISK headphones around the $50 range:

I plan to buy a few from there when I return from holidays next month.

 
Which ones of these are as good as or better than the Takstar Pro 80/Gemini HSR-1000?

But I wonder how it sounds... I'm not brave enough to get something none has before

Hello, first post here. Just wanted to concur with what @ericp10
has said about the DZ7. Note that I'm still a beginner when it comes to high end audio equipment and I haven't been able to compare them with a lot.

I've had them for about 3 weeks now and they are simply amazing! The soundstage is extremely wide and instrument separation is out of this world. They handle mids beautifully and listening to my two favourite genres, 20th century classical and progressive house, has been pure bliss. Vocals and highs are also extremely clear. The bass is tight and adequate, but these IEMs are not for bassheads. I was actually a bit disappointed at first transitioning from my Ostry KC06a which are notorious for their bass, but after about ~200 hours of burn in, the bass became a lot better. Overall I would say they have a pretty neutral sound, which suits me, but again I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to sound warmth...

These easily outperform my Audio Technia A900s and my pal's Shure SE846 which are the only "high end" pieces I have been able to compare to.

In terms of comfort and build quality, I have no complaints. Jim shipped a whole bunch of ear tips including the Comply-esque foam ones, which I use. Also I love the stars face which makes them look awesome.

I can't attach an image of them for proof (new account), so I'll link to a picture here: http://imgur.com/a/3kyeu

Done :wink_face:

 

Looks beautiful mate, how is the build quality? It's a good quality acrylic? Looks awesome with that colour and I want to buy one.

Damn. I'm glad i ordered the 2 pin for my DZ9...*fingers crossed* 

Let us know about the quality of the 2 pin connector,I want to try the DZ7 but I'm not a big fan of mmcx plugs.

Somebody here can make a A/B comparison DZ7 with DZ9,,,,,,

Yikes. My tracking number for my dz9 shows that it was sent to another address in my country and signed for by someone else. I gave DHL a call and the confirmed that the tracking number was correct and not for me.

I dropped HCK a message and hopefully he replies soon. I do hope it's just a case of a wrong tracking Number. He did mention that the IEMs were being shipped out ( that was yesterday - and as fast as DHL is, I highly doubt that it only takes a day to reach me..)

Highly possible the tracking number is off!

Yeah, this is my impression too. I've been blacklisted by them for over a year now after they sent me the wrong item and I complained about it. Don't really feel like as if I've been missing much seeing all these complaints......

Yup, same thing. Been blacklisted for over 3 months now. Good thing PenonAudio exists. At least they label their products correctly. lol
