My review of Olina is out. You can read it here.

Have a nice week!

sounds like these would pair well with Mapleshade Records recordings. Pierre's purest recording style leans towards dry for some. certain rigs bring out his love of very subtle nuanced background sound and decay from acoustic instruments and vocals.

My two favorite Mapleshade recordings are Clifford Jordan Quartet's Live At Ethell's and Midnite's Ras Mek Peace. You think you got earphones or headphones that are techincal BOSSES? Prove it to yourself by listening to both of these recordings and then stick by your claims!

Two IEM's that blew me away while listening to these two were the Fischer Audio DB02 and the Fostex TE05. Both had their weaknesses where I sold, but both provided sublime listening experiences with Mapleshade recordings. The DB02 lacked bass weight and impact, because they were a dual BA, and the TE05 were a horrific fit, with the detachable cable being misplaced on a bullet form body, and too thick at the base, so it was a very unpleasant fit. I might repurchase one day and just replace the cable?

Omg—I have that Clifford Jordan disc, and the mastering is pristine! Yup. Mapleshade. Great stuff. Love The Bearcat too!

More surprising, I threw on NiceHCKs 8 core pure silver cable on the DB1 and a coworker that gets to listen to everything I have wanted to hear my latest. Guy took a good listen using my Fiio M15. I asked him what he thought the price would be.

Guy said $200? The look on his face when I told him it is $16. Lol.

You lied to him. A pure silver cable alone costs more then $16.

 

[LaughMoreDaily]

every iem manufacturer is jumping on this dongle dac adjacent market as it more profitable than wired iem, my guess is that it will cost $59 and brings nothing more in sound quality over the $10 apple dongle

I disagree. Even $20 dongles beat the Apple one.

Besides, when it comes to dongles... it's all about personal opinion, not "facts."

Well the cable is about $27 but your right I didn't tell him the cable does not come with the earphones. But the earphones are $16. The sound is nice out of the box, It so happens the cable matches well with the DB1. Surprise earphone for me this year so far. My coworker is the 2nd person that got to hear them I let another friend hear them and he was surprised how good they sounded for the bucks as well.

The build on them are very similar to NF audio stuff NM2 and NA2 both use a very similar all plastic build. The sound on the DB1 is right up there with the two NF audio earphones as well which again is surprising.

A bit of an update on NiceHCKs newest. EB2S buds here I took out last night to hear them for the first time. Damn things punch way above what HCK is selling them for and is a clear upgrade on the old EB2.

Folks that love them some vocal forwardness and dynamism should check them out, especially if your a bud fan

When did NiceHCK start putting waifus on their boxes?

if you want a remark to improve your reviews: it is very informative to have comparisons with other iem so we can relate to the one we may already own, nymz is great at that, look at the comparisons he adds at the end of his reviews : https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/tripowin-x-hbb-olina.25718/reviews#review-28006
