^^Yeah, I'm hoping we get a new flagship from DUNU soon....by end of '21 at least. Easy for me to say, admittedly, as I'm not a Luna owner, hahaha. Anyway, I said in January I was waiting until a new DUNU flagship before buying another IEM, and I wavered with a couple recent releases, but I think I'm back on solid ground as far as that goes. I've convinced myself I need to see what DUNU has cooking for the top of their lineup before buying again. I have been so impressed by them since coming back to the hobby almost a year ago.

I just recently got the EST 112. Wonderful IEM... this is my first Dunu, and it won't be the last that's for sure. Kind of sad I waited so long to try out something of theirs.

I wish I could afford something like that right now. I think I'm going to buy myself the DK-2001, though. I've heard good things about it.

got my MT1 and wouldn't be surprised if it was using the same driver as the EDX. Volume output is a tiny bit lower compared to the EDX, and is a bit less V-shaped compared to the EDX. So probably just down to personal preference here. Otherwise sounds pretty similar to me, and still a good deal at this price range like the EDX. A decent entry for anyone looking to get into wired earphones again, especially since USB-C DACs are so cheap these days too. Though I still very much prefer the KZ Z1 over both of them. :joy:

Hi guys, here is my take of the Tripowin TC-01: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tripowin-tc-01.24878/reviews#review-25704
The Tripowin TC-01 is a overall well tuned V shape IEMs with a musical presentation. It's surprisingly to see the IEMs in this price range to have this well done timbre and technical performance. The TC-01 is the IEMs that worth every bit you paid for!!

What sort of inputs do you want?
.
If you're looking for a USB DAC/Amp, check on the Xduoo XD-05 or XD-05 Plus.
.
If you want a small tube amp, that has a Single-Ended input, and both Single-Ended & Balanced outputs, check on the Little Bear B4-X.

I already have Little Bear and have the xduoo Xd-05 Basic ordered on aliexpress sale, but that wont ship untill end of April apparently :) Was thinking maybe there is something I could get to test the op amps in the meantime.

There are less variations on swappable opamps portable amplifiers in Amazon. I recons you would use the good return policy on it?☺️ I have placed an order for this high voltage class A amp ( MG2) from Aliexpress with discrete NT1906A opamps.Its single ended, good enough for iems or buds that scale with power.There another balanced type(MG3) amp from same offering.

The return policy is is one of the benefits if I won't like the device 😄 But I usually only abuse that "kindness" if item is sold by Amazon itself. Thanks for the info, I will look in to that as well 👍
Edit:
Could you plese give me a link to Ali, as I cant find it.

Amazing. Thank you 👍 And that amp has replaceable 18650 batteries, that is a bonus as I use the same batteries for my vapes :) Definitely getting this one on next sale to try out :)
Yes, its stock batteries are Panasonic 18650, The 2 opamps socket are wider apart, might fit other variant of opamps like sparkos but not those tall ones like burson V6 series.
