Nothing at all. It’s actually my favorite IEM/DAP pairing. Even with all switches set flat, the Mezzo gets plenty of power at Medium Gain and is very dynamic, projecting a wide stage with deep low end extension. The N7 is the perfect source for the Mezzo and the Mezzo is my favorite IEM. The Crimson also sounds great with the N7, but requires a bump to High Gain. The Annihilator was not a great match and that made me realize that it was time to prioritize a portable source that can hold its own no matter the pairing.
Will Mezzo be good for Hip-Hop in comparison to Monaccha & E12?

+1 for the Oriolus Monachaa, I liked that a lot when I demoed it at CanJam. If not for time constraints and curiosity about what else was on the show floor; I would have listened to the Monachaa all afternoon.

**My one liner show notes at the time of listening to the Oriolus Monachaa for approximately 20 minutes with the Cayin RU6, RU7, and DX300 AMP11 Mk1 - I dig it.. Nice bass and presentation. Very easy to relax and enjoy music.**
Quadfecta it is.. 🤣

Those are the tips I slapped on my Multiverse Mentor from day 1. Also trying something new these few days: Eletech Baroque. Seems a tiny bit better for the bass.
I was using W1 for a while but slowly transitioned to Azla Max for all my IEMs. It suits my listening preferences perfectly, never had treble issue.

Sounds like Raven is being recalled...so it's off the table for the time being it appears.
Hello
Does the bonneville sound close to the trifecta? Would like the trifecta but can only get CIEM so I’m looking for something close
