It's been long time (received on Dec 2019) receiving my Penon Sphere, i still think it's the most well-tuned Single BA IEM in the market

I've tried lot of single BA IEM such as QDC Neptune, Campfire Comet, Ety Series (4R, 4XR, 4B, 4S), and some obscure single BA IEM like Tipsy Blue Aurora, Xuanerji X-01, Rose North Snow, Moondrop Nocturne and many more
Penon Sphere is the most musical Single BA i've tried, really show how good the tuner behind Penon product.

Sphere soundsig is neutral with just a bit warm touch, musical with quick bass and airy treble, it's good for long listening session.

I suggest to change its cable for more convenience

I was thinking of building a collection of single BA IEMs but looking at your list of obscure IEMs, I should just scrap that dream lol. I already impulse bought a fibae black in addition to the Sphere I already have... Although fibae black IS a tuning I really like too

well, there is a lot of Single BA in taobao LOL, and i know there is something called "Seda Plateada" which using Single BA with housing made from 18K Gold which cost about $500

it's better not collecting all, just collect the best one, pretty sure sphere is up there

If you like single BA setups, then CA FIBAE Black is a must try.

Yea the tonality of fibae black is pretty darned good. Lacks in some areas but mids reproduction is insanely good

Seems like you'll be having a fuller holographic imaging using that...

We shall see... if the delivery guy would oblige...

What do you prefer between Sphere and Black?

I’m thinking about iFi Neo but I’d wait new portable “Diablo”

Those are two rather different products, for only desktop use NEO iDSD would be my top pick (from our offer of course). As for Diablo, well, at this time I can't say anything specific but we'll get there very shortly :)
