xe6 has three modules: black, silver and gold. as far as I know, black has the least bass, silver has the most, and gold has the most.

E7 + Orpheus Shielding + Traillii Ti = Awesome.
How do you find the synergy between Orpheus Shielding & Traillii Ti?
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.

@jwilliamhurst has done a scubi twice so far with his Amber Pearl iem. Way to go buddy
A miracle occurred and now I can keep it! Haha!
I really don’t want to DamzHurst this one!
Love the sound of Mullard tubes. Telefunken tubes sounds too technically sterile sometimes needs a change.
You got the Ti? How does it compare with the Storm, may I ask?

msb premier dac look stunning! wish i have chance to home demo it.Who cares if it's raining outside...
The 1266 is a completely different headphone out of the Feliks Envy amp and MSB Premier DAC. Immaculate....

Cayin N30LE + PW Audio Orpheus Shielding + Nostalgia Audio Camelot is very very good. Camelot is severely an under-appreciated iem.
My AP coming soon. Any info on if it only goes well with the N30LE or will my trusted LPGT suffice?A miracle occurred and now I can keep it! Haha!
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
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!

How does Bellos X4 fit in between Fei Wan & Amber Pearl?
The Bellos X4 is my (warm) Neutral palate cleanser....its an all rounder and a great tool for rolling/testing Daps as well due to its more neutral nature.
Ok it’s my first day really listening to this combination. Mostly on flight (less than optimal listening conditions), but now wrapping up my day at the hotel with bit of quiet listening. Super early impressions based on very limited listening time -
I really like this combination.
The 1Zm2 has a very liquid, sweet presentation. Not as warm as I thought it would be; for example my SP2000 is warmer, but is a touch warmer than neutral and, mostly, has a beautiful way of making notes sound natural - if there was an opposite of analytical, this would be it - but, there is no lack of technicalities: simply, resolution, imaging, etc are all portrayed effortlessly.
That really works well with the Traillii. I was mentioning earlier today elsewhere to some friends that, if I used standardized testing question styled analogy, my Sultan is to the Traillii what ZMF is to Susvara. Just as the Susvara sores with an amp that lends it more body and texture, I find the same thing is happening with the Traillii - it’s spacious and delicate presentation works so well with this DAP, which gives it a sweet texture.
The end result is that both disappear and I just enjoy the music.
Andrea Motis is a wonderful young Spanish jazz singer and trumpeter. On her album “Emotional Dance”, I was listening to the track “He’s funny that say” and admiring how sweet the trumpet was sounding (an instrument with lots of natural odd harmonic that can be aggressively rendered at times). [available in CD]
I have DSD recording of Clandestine Amigo’s album “Temporary Circumstances”. The first track “Somewhere” has a beautiful quiet melody sung by lead female singer with accompanying piano, backup singer, bowed double-bass, and acoustic guitar. Some of these are very subtle, but all detail is captured beautifully, without anything feeling pushed at you. This is non-fatiguing listening at its best, while appreciating all the music has to offer. [available from Octave Records]
On Boz Skaggs’ “Desire”, the very low bass of the electric bass and hi hats treble are separated as well as very well imaged (hi hats coming distinctly from right, slightly forward and up; male singer are center forward, and backup singers are further back and slightly to the left).
This combo can also hit real hard an punchy when called for. On Aaliyah’s wonderful cover of “Got to give it up”, bass is extremely thick and grabby. I’m listening to this track as I type and it’s an outright blast!
My overall conclusion (very first impressions!) is that this is a combo for pure music delight. It has all the technicalities I’d want, but it’s not meant for someone who is looking to analyze music, but for someone who wants the music to take over all thinking and just swing with joy
Dad took a snap of me mixing last night’s church service. (And, yes, those are the X4’s, @warrenpchi. 
)
This was Day 7 of our Pentecost celebrations, which, for me, entails 10 nights in a row of live-mixing, mastering and translating the sermons to English.
But, the Lord never fails to reward good work handsomely. ‘Just 3 more to go!
