Also @audio123 has itLooking forward to impressions!
Besides the Jewel, @Xinlisupreme is single-handedly putting Aroma on the ‘cooler map. Glad that MusicTeck picked them up, too.

Does the tuning switch make a noticeable difference? The only IEM I’ve had with a dip switch was the SA6 and it provided a very subtle change.Also @audio123 has it
Top 3 for me...
2 stops to hear them all -- Sim Lim (Zeppelin), Adelphi (AV One, Project Perfection). I'd highly recommend you drop in at Jaben to listen to the DC Ti too, might just make you forget the rest. Storm may need a bit of prior arrangement, unless it's already launched, which is expected in May/June.My family and I are planning a trip to Singapore in June/July, so - God forbid the situation here/there doesn't suddenly escalate - the shackles keeping me from all this new gear might finally be coming loose. If that trip goes through, I'd love to try the Jewel, the Storm, the Elysian IEMs and the FiR Frontier series. A tier below those in terms of anticipation would be the new DITA Perpetua, the EE EVO, PW's new cables, as well as IEMs from SoftEars and Craft Ears. I'd also love to give the Aroma Thunder a listen, after @Xinlisupreme's very positive comments, and I'm also a bit curious to give the Ace another go. I heard it years ago, and I found it very good, but I wasn't blown away by it, mostly because it was quite a bit more treble-y than I preferred. It gave me an Anole VX vibe with its clarity and switch system, and they have a similar-ish FR as well:
Yeah, you don't see stuff like that anymore, like the Tera Player -- what a pain to use but what glorious music! All nostalgic momentos now...Man.. the Carot One takes my way back to looking for my very first desktop amp at AV One. I remember they had one of the cute little ones next to some of the ALO Audio and Audinst gear they had there. I almost got one just to experience tubes, but their size gave me the idea that they would've been a bit of a compromise compared to the larger tube amps on the market. And, in a slight admittance of vanity, the metallic-orange hue did put me off in the end.
4 weeks is nothing haha! Won't scare you with how long mine took, but then he probably fulfilled other orders before mine. Well worth the wait, if you ask me.Lee does have many pending orders now especially after the recent Canjam. He quoted me 4 weeks for my Annihilator though, so as a Malaysian we’ll see by then
No driver flex experienced for me (custom) and same sentiment about the Martini cable, huge difference when I changed to the Venom, which according to Lee, was the 'best' cable for the Annihilator and, well, X too. After cable rolling a little, including the big guns -- Orpheus, Centurion, etc, I'd have to agree.Unfortunately i had problems with custom fitting 90% of the time so I’ll opt for universal this time round. Not to mention custom version is more expensive. But I do plan to change the faceplate on 1 side to a wooden design to make it less plain
My only issue now with the Annihilator is the driver flex and I’m not a fan of the cable..
I prefer “Harmony” position where mids are full bodied and without BA-ish timbre.Does the tuning switch make a noticeable difference? The only IEM I’ve had with a dip switch was the SA6 and it provided a very subtle change.
Yeah, Zepp is the new MS as far as customs and cables are concerned. It's a shame there aren't too many audio spots around Orchard anymore. Both MS at Far East and Stereo at ION used to be on my bus route back from college. But, at least the ones left are within 1-2 MRT stops of each other. I'll probably be stopping by Jaben to try the Mason FS anyway, so the DC Ti will most likely get demoed as well. Do they still hold your ID while you demo, by the way? If so, would my Indonesian ID be alright, or do I have to bring my whole passport there too?2 stops to hear them all -- Sim Lim (Zeppelin), Adelphi (AV One, Project Perfection).

Would be interesting in a future poll to see what the Cooler leaderboard for DAPs looks like. After hearing my friend’s M9 this weekend, it’s on my birthday/holiday wishlist
That’s encouraging to hear! I’m of the mind that if you’re going to implement a tuning switch, it should make a marked change to the sound.I prefer “Harmony” position where mids are full bodied and without BA-ish timbre.
Differences are noticeable, more than SA6 for sure
The M9 continues to impress me. I’ve yet to hear the N8ii and I know you like yours a lot, but the M9 leaves me wanting for nothing at this point. And it only keeps getting better and more refined as the hours tick up.Would be interesting in a future poll to see what the Cooler leaderboard for DAPs looks like.
