It's where the voice coil is located.

The one you pointed out and the right one makes a whole DD so it's not that clear to me that they really use double DD.

I'd expect sth like this :

Yup, that's actually what I expected but who knows since maybe these are the only few IEMs in the market with a "double DD" setup.

Fan 2 and Meaoes Eagle are both double DD.

Mandatory smarty DSLR pic of my latest acquisition hehe. I just love clicking such images so please bear with me. As a bonus will include some initial impressions for the pair.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed initially as I was spending a lot of my time with the Euclids and they are a step above the duo in every aspect. Coming towards the Duo, initially, the pair had a little boom in the bass, and the midrange was recessed. More recessed than what I prefer. It was nothing as I had heard it before at an audio event in my country. Only good thing I noticed was with treble being quite crisp and amazing. I was honestly planning to make a sale post. But But But, As soon as I switched the cable to Effect Audio Cadmus, everything changed and for the good.

Bass is a lot tighter now, still, I would say Euclid sounds tighter. But still has a very good slam and texture now. Midrange is also brought a little forward and vocals sound livelier and richer than what I had on the stock cable. Treble is crisp and detailed. Ah, the soundstage and dynamics are quite good(they were good on the stock cable as well). But I personally feel Cadmus gives the Duo a better definition in the lower end and midrange. All in all, I am happy with my purchase now.

Short disclaimer:-
Both the Cadmus and Duo are my own units, and so is the Tempotec V6 in the image.

The heavyweights from 5-10 years back that you no longer hear about in this hobby are AT, V-Sonic, Havi, JVC, and Brainwavz. POOF.

ATH CKR9LTD: I still have that one. Two 13.2 mm DD in push pull configuration. This limited edition was f@@@n expensive. About 10-12 years ago? They still sound good today. JVC: Didn't they release a very popular HA-FD01 and a wood variation maybe two years ago? Back in the day they used carbon nano tubes. I still have three FX something floating around... Cheers.

Yes, I have a feeling 2DD will reinvigorate the Hybrid market!

Dunu VULKAN is too!

64Audio Duo - $1200. EA Cadmus - $200. Playing devil's advocate - the Duo should sound pretty amazing for the money without an expensive aftermarket cable. I have heard the Cadmus and like it but if you didn't have it would you be Ok with the Duo as stock?

I have Euclid which is a better one IMO. I would have sold the Duo. Not up to my preferences with the stock cable, but obviously like it with the Cadmus now and will keep it as a complementing and different signature to my Euclids. I have given Eros S to my Euclid as well but they were quite good on stock cable too.

Here's my beautiful Euclid with Eros S cable!!

The order was shut down even though PayPal was used. Fraud?

Definitely not fraud. That’s Audiosense’s official store. I’ve received my AQ0 from there when I bought it in the 11/11 sales.

 

[AmericanSpirit]

Wu arrived!

 

[AmericanSpirit]

no concern for QC at all it seems!
It’s exquisite.
Beauty here.
Especially the color violet, once only allowed for the Nobilities. Tangzu got a very good knowledge in making thing.
Surely she is the sole Empress of ancient Chinese dynasty.

Enjoy! One of my 2022 favorites!

Indeed! Thanks for recommending Wu @Redcarmoose & @Dsnuts & @baskingshark ! Wu immediately becomes my planar favorite.

-OOTB notes:
▶︎carrying pouch is HUGE and color theme is wine
Red with Gold is, well…not my taste..

▶︎Wu is a shallow fit type, the housing didn’t match with my ear so I need some bigger war tips that comes with it.
Generic Accostune AE tips styled ones.

▶︎Sound is impressive, wide diffusion, but not too U feeling. Nice balance that Tangzu team has managed. I may explain Wu’s balance as Mid-switch flipped on Anole VX. Almost warm-neutral with slight hints in upper mid as well as treble. Sub-bass is not overly emphasized (Not L-shape), with mid-bass having a welcoming warmth. People with 200hz sensitivity may feel it a slight “bleed” and may prefer Timeless style scooped uppper-to-mid bass, but I’m perfectly fine with this mid-bass.

▶︎Highly musically talented tuning. I can see the big boss of Tangzu spending nights and nights adjusting it, not a random attempt, the tuning has his/her philosophy. For someone tried many IEMs, this kind of tuning philosophy is not a tangible EQ thing, it’s more higher level top-down comprehensive bird’s -eye type “sound as a whole” presentation, just like someone creates instruments. Tangzu big boss has a talent to that extent. Now it’s getting interesting what Tangzu could’ve done with entry-level Wan’er S.G. It’s incoming and will arrive in weeks.

2022 is a year of good tuner…Salnotes Zero and Wu is currently my favorite tune

What matters the most to me is not technicality, after all things considered for “enjoying/live with your favorite songs”.

Surely technicality is like big engines in a car, a sportscar, hypercar, it goes as fast as you put your feet on pedal. But once you’ve done everything you could imagine with sportscar & hypercar, you feel the suspension is way too firm to over speed bumps, and if you hit any potholes on road with high performance sports tire&suspension, it will be very unpleasant. So I’m recently finding, cars made for “comfort & luxury “ more appealing. You don’t need huge engines for the comfort, same to IEM/headphones. But that’s a one man’s maturity in “sound” preference I think. So whenever I get tired of comfortable cars, I may move to sportscars again, having options, for cars are not easy, but for IEM, is still manageable, good point of this hobby.

Wu is a good example for that, it’s made for your comfort and pure enjoyment over technical things.

 

[Redcarmoose]

Those two, the Zero and the Wu! Some of my absolute favorites, maybe those two are even complementary? As they are so different in nature?

Indeed! Thanks for offering Wu @Redcarmoose ! Wu immediately becomes my planar favorite.

If I am not mistaken, the second DD should probably be inside here:

and to the right is the magnet of the main coil.

Don't have the NX7 and won't get a pair to confirm myself if they have been doing false marketing.

That's also part of the magnetic structure. It's the outer circular part you see in the teardown picture. It's a standard part in many DD designs, such as in the Aria:

It's just a single DD.
