The discovery thread!

[Argha]

but as a metal music IEM

Poor mixes sound so good

something I could use outdoor

I think these are made for doing chores TBH.

Great impressions, I am still waiting for mine to arrive

Had to wait for so long for my unit due to custom uncle's lazy ass fingers

I posted this in the mid-priced cables thread; however, I’m posting here for a little more attention…

I'm needing some advice for a cable to use my Project M's. First, I love the staging that the Project M brings to the table. Additionally, I like the bass control it has. Now, this is all while using the stock cable.

I don't want to lose then great attributes of the Project M; however, I would like to add more weight to the sound, especially in the vocals. Now, I don;’ want to lose the highs at the same time.

Is there such a thing as a Gold Plated pure Silver cable?

Just got this in and then bought a second set

I just found this on AliExpress:
C$101.08 | ZiSin-46 4-Core Litz HIFI Earphone Upgrade Cable With 3.5/2.5/4.4mm MMCX/QDC/TFZ 0.78 2Pin For MK4 Legacy2 Blessing3 Variations

I do like different sets: Yeah I do love bassier thicker sets that great technical performance and stage.

Loved the Surface Sooooo..Much

But tonights Chill Time is with the amazing DITA Audio Project M and the IBasso Audio DX340 with the NUTUBE AMP14 oh boy this is so good!

Also got notice of a New EPZ Dongle the TP35PRO in this baller color and ow links up to a companion app for EQ and stuff?

Same price as old one.
Now sports 3.5 TTRS mic output and The EQ can be set with the app.
Getting one soon to try out.

Start importing via DHL now my friend

@ToneDeafMonk bro I will wait for your impressions on the Ice Labs Prismatica. I saw on FB that you will be getting it soon. I love that IEM immensely haha, probably among the best bass in All-BA IEMs.

Yes. You are 100% right. The Defiant's secret sauce is that it makes even the crappiest mixes sound good. I imagine that's why it's such a metal BOSS. It has to be able to handle schitt mixes. Good call.

Thanks for the share, but we can't see that. Nici has locked out the U.S. Same with Trusted and GY. ivipQ and XINHS have some still open, but mostly just their now ridiculously "priced" IEMs (aka the ones above $400). So yeah, gotta needle in a haystack it and get lucky lol Sadly, the cable that would have been IDEAL Project M cable for his desired synergy would have been the XINHS HA015, which is the perfect alloy mix for the P-M, and which I have on my ISN EBC80 (even bought a second one when my cat gnawed the other one. Still works good, just has unsightly tape on it), but the page is 404.

Here's the cable I currently have on my Project M, which is spot on synergy in all ways, but it's currently ridiculously priced.

Yeah, the P-M loves TOOBS and r2r.

I discovered 100% certified and jedi mind trick verified synergy sisters!! The ISN EBC80 + Sony NW-A55 + FiiO Q1 II (with FiiO L27 IC). The bass whoops!! It bangs!! The BCD helps create stage and atmosphere that is typically a weak link with Sony DAPs. Plus the Sony house sound helps with the EST timbre. It's a perfect synergy!

*I'm feeling deja vu*

Tubes! And NUTUBE and Volume Wheel!

So I was able to get this for $50.00 on Ebay. NiceHCK NX7 MK III. I was surprised to find it, as this is no longer available, and though every single NX7 series IEM failed on me (minus the NX7 MK IV, but I sold that one off recently, so it didn't really get the chance), so it probably makes me insane that I would chase this NX7 MK III down, it was actually one of my bass addictions. The dual CNT driver (not many dual CNT out there in the wild) just hits differently. Uniquely textured. It's snappy, speedy, punchy, and yet resolute, and also has sub bass, so that it's impactful and balanced across the bass FR. Not to mention clean and transparent midrange, and a well executed treble, with air and shimmer without the sibilance and peakiness of the previous NX7 iterations, it's the most tastefully done V of all the NX7's. NiceHCK offered me a review discount for the NX8, as a consolation when my NX7 MK III died, but I declined. Didn't want an NX8. The MK IV sucked. I'm thinking the same of the NX8. Glad I waited. Should be in my ears by Monday?

What is it?

Cayin RU-9?

Unboxed this AFUL (Maths Equation) P7. Will post some impressions later. Early Listening on DC-Elite was not that good, until I changed the already fitted stock small ear tips to medium tips to get any bass. But very worthy purchase so far.

I applaud your dedication to not miss a single thing.

Thanks I’m behind again lol. Page 10,048

Yeah, not a fan, I'm afraid. I probably just got too used to DX180's simplicity and very rare freezes.

DX180 was on my short list of DAP’s.

But this is on the way now. Should be Delivered Today.

It's with me! Give me a day or two to gather my first thoughts.

I’m sure you will like H60.

Really liking the P7 so far.


PS. Will catch up on the rest of the thread soon.

 

[FreeWheelinAudioLuv2]

Cayin RU-9?

Yeah, that's what it is, but still no release date or price.

 

[Ichos]

Yeah, that's what it is, but still no release date or price.

Not yet determined. They are going to have some kind of prototype at the Munich High End show.

 

[Okcerg]

My reaction is the same as Dandelion. 50% is still way too high. Still would make, say a KZ that was selling for $15.00 still sell for $40.00. So a cheap XINHS cable will still be close to $100. So mid fi IEMs will still be close to what we would have paid for the H60 or the Elysian Pilgrim or the Estrella for a low mid-fi IEM, so they need to come down to 25%, or pre groane insanity. Until then, it's a big nope from me.

Not sure I understand how these tariffs work. Why the super inflated prices on Aliex? Like the XINHS XH198 you posted for $536!?! Europe price is $64!!

Isn't 50% tariff on a $15 set:
15 + (15*0.5) = $22.5

And 25% tariff on a $15 set:
15 + (15*0.25) = $18.75

And the current 145% tariff on a $15 set:
15 + (15*1.45) = $36,75

(Thank God my phone's got a calculator)

Is your Project-M getting a sliight yellow tint? I'm pretty sure mine are no longer 100% clear.

Congrats on the P7. Feed it r2r or TOOBS, and warm sources, and it canary sings. Also copper cables. Avoid silver, palladium, or graphene, and kick it copper or copper gold, and man, it's a killer.

Congrats on the M21! Mine is still in transit. Should arrive early next week?

Honestly, I'm not sure how the tariffs and fees are calculated? I just know that prices are crazy inflated, and I'm not biting on any of that stuff.

Btw, the Kiwi Ears Septet kicks ass! It needs burn in, but once it does, it really opens up and the open back stage is wicked with the spatial cues.
