i have!
  1. It’s superb!
  2. Noise floor is just on the verge of being ok with hard loads and not so with easy ones.
  3. I have a passive filter adapter from Frans at DIY Audio Heaven from the days I owned a CFA3, a beast of an amp, where I used these with sensitive headphones. Of course adding any resistance has potential impact, but these are done so well there’s barely none I can perceive. With this, I can use any IEM with the AIC and it’s glorious! (a useful accessory to have in any case) — https://diyaudioheaven.wordpress.com/passive-filters/
My #1 full-size amp for IEMs is the Auris Nirvana. As a fulll transformer-couple amp it’s extraordinarily quiet (the best noise floor of any amp I’ve ever had, SS, tube or hybrid), and with Mullard tubes rolled in it’s especially sweet sounding - best I’ve heard for IEM amping

Love the sound of Mullard tubes. Telefunken tubes sounds too technically sterile sometimes needs a change. 🥳

I think it’s ideal, for my taste. Smoothed the Ti a bit, as I felt it was a bit too energetic in the treble area. Everything feels right, with Orpheus.

You got the Ti? How does it compare with the Storm, may I ask?

My AP coming soon. Any info on if it only goes well with the N30LE or will my trusted LPGT suffice?

I sold my N30LE before I bought the AP. However I have used it with my Lp P6pro ti99 and Sony WM1Z and both sound phenomenal. I am sure the N30LE AP takes it up a notch. I have had the AP for a few weeks now and I have lost A LOT of sleep due to these iems. I literally wake up in the middle of the night and grab my DAP and listen until I fall back to sleep. HAHA! My poor Fei Wan set is being left out :sweat_smile:

The Amber Pearl has this way of filling out every nook and cranny of space with sound. Its insanely immersive much like the Fei Wan but to a higher degree with AP. AP has really great bass but it cannot touch Fei Wan in this regard. Fei Wan, Volur, Creator, Trifecta, Xe6, Odin, Legend X in that order for me based purely on bass FR. I will try to write up some thorough impressions soon of AP, once the honeymoon phase is over. Same for Fei Wan, speaking of Fei Wan, here is a FW Glamour Shot!

Nice photo and impressions.

How does Bellos X4 fit in between Fei Wan & Amber Pearl?
