Moondrop Dusk

I'm curious/concerned that Moondrop will re-use the:
  • H.O.D.D.D.U.S.- Horizontally-Opposed 2DD Module Based on 3D Printing Technology

Which, IMO, was not appreciated by Dusk fans

While I don't normally put too much weight behind FR graphs, this is an apples:apples, as it's the same (per Crinacle) HODDUS driver. Looks like less mid-bass, in the new Dusk

Read my review on Tanchjim Origin here: https://headfonics.com/tanchjim-origin-review

We have seen quite good releases in the single dynamic driver space in the past few years. In the current market, there is some good competition from IEMs such as Simgot’s EA1000, Oriveti OD200, and the DUNU Falcon Ultra.

Tanchjim has released quite a decent pair in Origin, which not only holds a strong position among the other IEMs but also sets a benchmark for soundstage and technical capabilities. With a very sleek design language, good tuning, and a decent price tag, Origin is an easy recommendation.

But it falls down in technicalities, accessories, Stage, dynamics, the nozzles are a gimmic and do nothing to change the tuning? And then there is the price!
Recommended?

It does have slightly less mid bass yeah, but more sub bass.

Also has a much better ear gain. MVDSF tends to be too shouty for me.

The Dusk tuning is right up my alley.

I don't think it falls down in technicalities. It's good in technical aspects. I think the stage is pretty good. Nozzles do not change much, which I have mentioned in the review as well, and that's a thing with a lot of iems where there are tuning nozzles. Rest, I love the sound on it. It fits well, it's not sharp-tuned, and the bass is good. I find it better than the Falcon Pro. The only thing I find missing is the cable's 4.4 mm termination.

Could you share a link? I cant find it on AliExpress? Maybe not available for Germans
It’s currently not showing as available for me on AE either and I’m in the UK.

I messaged Shenzhen audio earlier about it, it doesn’t seem to be intentional and will hopefully be fixed by tomorrow.

To be clear, you have a pre-release sample, of the new Dusk in hand ?
No, that’s HBB’s graph. He has a (pre) release version. He uploaded the graph today to his squig.

He uploaded the unboxing video and you can see it’s the final retail version.
