I hate to switch the topic (in Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors no less ....lol) from talking about DACs, but just wanted to say that I will have the TDK IE800 and 1964 EARS V6 any day now. How are these budget phones? Well the V6 is pretty cheap for a 6-driver CIEM. Okay, my apologies for the interruption...lol. Back to cheap DACs!!
6 driver iems sound good to me. How much? Those IE800 are interesting. Look forward to hearing your impressions on both.
I was thinking. A 6 driver iem. How would all the drivers share in the complete sound?
1 tweeter for the highs
1-in between the lower high and upper mids transitional driver?
1- mids
1 lower mids to bass
1-mid bass to low bass
1-vibrator motor just to make you feel the 20hz low lo?Lol. That is 3 drivers more than I have ever heard in one ear so that should be interesting.
As for the pack in ears for the Go gear muse. My question is hows the dap.? I have always been curious about Philips daps never owned one. How's the SQ? It seems those pack in earphones are not sold individually these being the closest to them design wise The SHE9500
Those pack in earphones look like a cross between these and the SHE9700 in design.
An open back SHE9700? That would be interesting. I haven't been able to find them being sold separately.
Well I know DACs should not be mentioned on this part of the forums but I think it is all related.. It is one of the better discoveries for me. Once a few of you guys get them and hear them you all will understand.

Ya say no to onboard realtek nonsense..Looking forward to your take on these my friends. I know it is cheap. In fact I want you guys to expect equally a cheap sound. Just do it. It will surprise you more. lol!
So far it is black with the most sold 53. 54
Silvers are second with 14
and blues come 3rd with 7
lastly the red with 2 sold...I think average shipping time from China to the US is anywhere from 2 weeks if your lucky to 3 to a month if your not so lucky..
Good call Wayne. I know you was holding out until the Sabre dac come in. The way I see it. Both these units use different chips giving a different flavor. As I mentioned before on another thread. I like my steak with my lobster.. Oh by the way I have to go to the post office tomorrow to pick up a packet. Could it be? We will see.
I just went and auditioned, among other things, the Panasonic HTF600 (of original nutman fame), HTF890, Philips Fidelio X1, Sony XB500, XB900 and JVC FXZ200. And... let's just say the Somic MH463 I've been raving about are impressing me more and more.

Just when I managed to forget about them! Have you been posting more impressions of them?
Edit: I re-found your thread and posted my plea for help there:

Hey guys, so I read like the last 50 pages of this thread and I need to hear your advice.
I m thinking of getting the ELE dac or hifimediy dac, what do you think? I know the ele is less then 2x cheaper..
Also thinking if I should get SHE3580 or MH1C, those SHE3580 are for only 7$ on ebay, while MH1C are for 26$, that almost 4x more. Not that I really care about the price difference, both are very cheap, but why pay more if maybe its unnecessary.
Also is there a nice port. amp for great price?
Thanks a lot for advice.

Regarding MH1C vs SHE3580, here's the thing--the MH1C is technically superior to the 3580 and isolates better, but the 3580 has an ace up its sleeve: it's vented between the driver and the eartip, I call this front venting. This means that the phones don't form an airtight seal with your ears. This way there will never be any driver flex, and they have more air and soundstage than most sealed IEMs ever would. I'm finding that even though I gave the MH1C a 11/10 for sound I'm actually not using them that much at home, in favour of open air IEMs or even the open air Somic cans I'm raving about. When you get a good seal with equalized air pressure on the MH1C the sound is fantastic, but the seal often takes a minute or two to settle, and one side or the other sounds muffled before then. They are hard to beat for on the go use though if you can sort out their cable.

I only listened to them briefly... they sure stuck out of my head like Frankenstein bolts
The sound... well they sound like they have powerful bass and subbass, they sound like something Dsnuts would enjoy... I didn't warm up to them from the brief listen. Or to any of the other phones for that matter.
Just got home and tried the Somic unEQed... still get the impression that they sound at least as good as any of the above.
