My latest budget-fi acquisition: Pioneer CH-3T. Curiosity got the better of me and I’m glad it did because these microdrivers are pretty sweet for 2500 JPY. Toss on small SednaEarfits and go for deep insertion, and you get an intimate but resolving presentation, with punchy bass and extended treble. Very balanced sounding for a budget set, just try not to snag the noodle cable on anything, but I guess you could always buy another pair.

I've had these for awhile. Did a short review about a year ago. Very comfy with very good sound for a microdriver. Bass driven and yes, extended treble. Recessed mids. A nice fun sound. Not as good as the Zero Audio Tenore or the Moondrop Crescent, but not too far off and cheaper.

As the weekend draws near, your passion for good music grows, your fun is imminent! It is time for one of our special weekend reviews, and today we do a second look at SE180 from Astell&Kern, as we review the SEM2 amplifier module for it~!

They respected the promise to deliver multiple options for their modular DAP, and this one gives SE180 a more detailed sound, an increase in the overall bass, better control, but also some more energy in the treble. If you're planning to get yourself a high-end music player, or if you already have SE180, I hope my review will help you

I would definitely use some command velcro to stick my DAP to it if I wanted to run that kind of external DAC configuration.

Sadly it's incomplete, I'm missing one cables I've orderd. Luckily the important stuff is all there but I haven't had any time to play with it yet.

That's quite a lot of taxes, oops....

Have you tried other cables with it?
Not yet, had to wait for this order to get some cables as I had no 2 pin cables free to use.

Fiio x Crinacle collab FHE will be available to be preordered in 11 hours from Shenzhen Audio. Dispatch at the end of the year. One for the bassheads apparently.
