Could be worth the cash. Let us know how they are if you get em. I can attest to these semi custom quality. Each one hand made by a seasoned pro. And you can choose which plate.
However. I would actually wait a bit till they have a big sale. If you can wait.

The plate I prefer is the "Stable Wood version", which looks like petrified wood -

If i am not wrong, you'll find that in the gleam dz9 thread, people have bought a similar hybrid with bass adjust switch, and found it to be not good at all.

Unless, of course this is a new 2018 model, (although the description still says 2017) where they might have changed the tuning. So, just check around before placing the order.

Edit: It was the DZX-1+8

I'm not sure about the Bass Adjust Switch, since they don't really explain it in the listing.

The DZX-1+6 ($325) has:
5. Impedance:16Ω
6. Earphone sensitivity: 118db/mW
7. Frequency range: 10-20000Hz
14.Drive unit: 1DD+ 6BA drive unit
16. Whether with bass adjust switch: With bass adjust switch

The DZ7 ($358) has:
5. Impedance: 22Ω
6. Earphone sensitivity: 115db/mW
7. Frequency range: 15-25000Hz
15. Drive unit: 1DD+ 6BA drive unit

It appears the main difference is that the DZX-1+6 is more efficient (3dB is equal to doubling the power), and goes a bit lower in the Bass --- and the DZ7 has a bit higher impedance, and goes higher in the Treble.

I had the DZ7 and found it to be horrible.

While it was clear and rather detailed it had close to zero midbass nor bass.

I was about to pull the trigger on the HK6 but decided against it and went for the IT04 instead ( which i had the pleasure of testing - it was excellent ).

Got my campfire comet.
First impressions, if people call it hk6s brother, I wouldn't be surprised.The sound tuning is very similar I feel.
The first difference I could feel is that the vocals are a bit more forward. That also makes it feel more detailed.
I will give it some time to get used to the sound and do a detailed comparison with hk6.
I am really surprised by what this single BA iem can do.

This was the IEM, i was seriously considering to buy. Toneking (earlier musicmaker) as a brand, has launched pretty good iems in the past. However, i was not able to find any reviews of this, even in the chinese sites.

Well, I see more information about the T88K on the Penon webstore, which means the Yaoyaotiger HIFI Audio Store listing is misleading. They say, "... 8BA knowles 16 Drivers ...", but according to the Penon site, there's only 8 drivers, 4 in each housing.
