Thoughts anyone ?

I was not especially impressed, unfortunately. There wasnt anything that made them stand out to me in the price range. They did have a prototype higher end model with a lovely painted faceplate that I found better in pretty much every aspect.

Ouch, that pretty much killed all of my interest.

The @aromaaudio Fei Wan has finally reached me. I won’t be able to listen much today and tomorrow but here’s a picture dump of what I consider to be a very attractive set of monitors. Piss yellow never looked so good.

Of course, aesthetics are super subjective but these look really nice in person.

I’m actually a fan of the IEM’s design but that case…. What were they thinking

The IEM’s remind me of my custom LX a little…

I use foams on my UM Mext. Still get plenty bone conduction effect

Could you intentionally lose shell contact to test if you still get the bone conduction effect? Unfortunately, foams don't work well with my ears so I can't do this test.

Thanks to @Scuba Devils have been listening to Globular on Roon and allowed Roon to suggest music after the end of the album. This came up and I love it! Nice music to wind down to at the end of the day!

I’m exhausted so only very brief impressions but the most immediate difference I hear with FW is a more exciting presentation with a lot more mid bass focus - I get that ‘thud’ sensation with say kick drums, where you feel it perfectly central in your head, Erebus upon switching sound quite tame initially but I then settle back in, definitely a more neutral sound overall in comparison. FW grabs your attention much quicker, Erebus takes a bit of time as I a/b. Looking forward to more time with both tomorrow night - could well be a spanner in the works here… I can certainly understand the praise for FW!

I personally did not like the sound of FW when I heard at AV One while I was in Singapore. I felt it was too bright, and built quality just simply didn't cut it for now day and age, and specially for what it is selling for..

How is the built of Erebus compared to FW?

I like cheap HiFi

This $50 USB powered DAC from a power bank

How your GM behaves with his new "toy"

Fei Wan is really complementary to Grand Maestro so I use them for different moods. I recently bought an Eletech Raphael for GM and I love how it makes the bass sound even more textured and bodied, so it depends on what I feel like listening to really. I’m very happy with both.

DMP-Z1 plus Orphy/FW + Substance reissue = good night!

To the summit!

This is the most important thing, which Dap do you use at the moment?

Thanks, I’m like a magpie, love these intricate designs that interplay with the light

Cayin N30 LE and HiBy R6 Gen 3. I prefer the more neutral tonality of the R6 Gen 3 with Fei Wan but it doesn’t really compete with the Cayin for staging or technicals, which is expected
