I was thinking it would be that Dita sub $1k set but I'm starting to think I might instead blind buy that $500 (or so) Elysian IEM that was teased recently and whose name escapes me.

I found the ad right as you replied:
If this can be Gaea-eqsque with a better bass driver and less prominent upper mids it will be gold imho.

Yet to be determined. Going into Canjam NYC with an open mind and an open wallet. Need a DAP and a complementary pair for my Bonneville. Start the countdown only 75 days left!

I haven’t heard the Gaea but I know this is using a different DD. Also knowing Elysian and the “house sound” they go for I’m sure this will be a similar type of sound to what he’s done with his other IEMs.
Gosh, I'm pretty content right now with the DAP's and iem's that I own. They just seem to cover all my bases and needs. So I'm branching out. Have a Empyrean II on order and a deposit on a new HeadAmp. Maybe Susvara in the near future?

Thanks for the correction! Guess this is what happens when synthesizing notes after some pre-christmas glasses of wineCould I ask you to correct the comparison between the N30 OG and N30 AP so that it is clear which player you are referring to? I'm having difficulty understanding the version. If I understood correctly, you mean that AP is smoother and more organic? That would contradict what others have written here (twister6 included): AP is supposed to be a little brighter and have a wider stage. That doesn't go together.
Exactly!
PS: Watercooler is celebrating 5000 pages and I'm certainly celebrating my new status as Supremus today, so sorry for the spamming now
. The confusion has been corrected.

I couldn’t disagree more. Not having to deal with Android is a HUGE part of AK’s appeal for me. I’ve been using AK daps for almost ten years and have no complaints. To the extent there are glitches, I’ve found them to be infrequent and AK responsive in fixing them.

Merry Christmas coolers!
Today, I treated myself to a small Christmas gift (couldn't afford a big one as I've already spent too much this year) - the Jiju Jet 2 eartips from Lizer Lab in Japan.
I've known about these ear tips for quite some time through my friends but hadn't been able to get my hands on them. Finally, I managed to find a pair at the local audio store.
Although they may look a bit strange and aren't the most comfortable eartips on the market, they do noticeably expand the soundstage and provide more precise instrument positioning, in exchange, the bass quantity has reduced a little bit. It's a very unique feeling compared to other aftermarket eartips!

Probably old school with JVC FW10000.
Happy holidays!
Probably the Canpur or Storm. I’m also eyeing VE X as friends that are familiar with my preferences think it’s a set I’d enjoy.

To Everyone in ze Cooler. 
I extend a big Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and everyone of you who have contributed to this unbelievable, 5000+ page thread. In all my years being a part of Head-Fi I’ve never seen anything like it. Also, I’ve enjoyed so much reading/skimming through this Cooler/thread and getting to know where many of you are at in this hobby of ours. It is amazing and more importantly I love the communal relationship that many of you have kept up so admirably. The way people get along here is a beautiful thing and how people trade experiences with one another is nothing short of courteous and enthusiastic…the way it should be!
Thanks for listening, fellas and possible ladies.
More importantly, thank you for making me feel welcome.
Cheers to a great up coming 2024.
I got some listening to do.

They look a bit scary to insert. Sharp-ish looking metal tips are a no go in my ears, LOL.
