I've been researching for IEMs for over 5 years. Up to the point where I can't justify anything above a Sennhieser Momentum IEM in price point. Heck, there are many out there doing the same, reading piles of Head fi (and other forums) to justify spending a little more for quality pair of phones. I have read enough novels in whatever google threw at my screen. Up to the point where I realized that, it is not worth spending much to achieve the original sound from a stock snapdragon dac (or any other chip).
I believe that, somewhere someplace, a revolutionary competition is going to emerge. Their objective is, (after mastering speed, photography and memory) to deliver bit perfect signal to any audio gear regardless of the specs/connection. A superphone that is built with luxury grade internals, and modest outer looks. An AI that learns/adapts to source files, medium and audio form. A master engine that calibrates itself, adjusts EQ dynamically on every bit (OLED's way?) and specifies amount of amplification required. Maybe a Devialet like "SAM" engine ? that, i don't know
Will 2017 invent the first true audiophone?
