Have you tried ordering customs via Buyee?

Can’t say anything here, since I don’t know what ordering customs requires.

I have bought few IEMs from e-earphones via Buyee though, they even applied some member discount at sale time (so I paid a bit less than quoted).

As the LP6Ti 7th Anniversary Edition burns in, it is really opening up. The DC/Iliad sounds so open and gorgeous!

I have not tried ordering FitEar products through buyee, but I guess it is not possible. According to FitEar official website, "FitEar does not sell its products to individuals whose intent is to import, resell, or forward FitEar products to foreign markets. "

I read this review on FitEar MH335DW-SR:

"......The MH335DW-SR is a revision of sorts of FitEar’s former 5-driver flagship. The SR postscript refers to the stainless steel tubes Suyama-san has installed to act as a waveguide. The MH335DW-SR carries what I’d consider to be the epitome of a Japanese sound: A warm, intimate, bass-driven presentation counteracted by an articulate upper-treble. Instruments on the SR are full-bodied and almost reverb-y as a result of lifts along the mid- and upper-bass. The lower-mids remain neutral though- instruments are still upper-midrange-dominant for a more vibrant, lively response.

The low-end lifts characteristically add warm, rich undertones that almost act as a shadow of the transient. It evokes the ambience of a coffee-club jazz performance, complete with reverbs, echoes and resonances bouncing off the brick walls. Additionally, despite peaks along 7 and 10kHz, an 8kHz dip grants instruments a light featheriness, rather than an ultra-crisp profile. Yet, transients strike with a very natural sense of speed, which completes those full-bodied, deeply-resonant instruments with an appropriate dose of clarity; neither overtly clean, nor compromised in detail. If you literally want to hear your music as if it were radiating from an intimate, smoky cafe, the MH335DW-SR deserves a solid shout...

Can anyone confirm or not?

The SR has nothing to do with stainless steel tubes - it stands for "Studio Reference". If anything the only waveguide in the 335DWSR is the TITANIUM tube installed in the treble bore.

That said, the sound description is fairly spot on, and seems to be basically the sound preference of Harada-san (i.e. the name behind the prefix MH, and a prominent sound engineer whose name appears on many records). I would add that the 335DWSR can, besides being that smoky cafe sort of presentation, be also gritty and steely if you feed it with rock and metal stuff - thanks to the very present upper-treble and the suppressed 8K range, it is a rare gem that could be airy/brassy/glittery/shimmering AND non-fatiguing at the same time.

You own MH335DW-SR?

How is the DC Ti compare to 335DWSR?

Friday evening chilling with the Fitear Air2. With the Electech Prudence8. And off the mighty Luxury & Precision LP6Ti 7th Anniversary Edition. :)

Something you don't hear too much about: Private 333. Magic that Suyama-San is able to weave with just 3 BA drivers... :)

Another blast from the past: the MH334. Glorious after all these years with the Eletech Socrates our of the Shanling M9. Timely reminder just how good the FitEars were and still are.
