Have been vigorously comparing these (and NiceHCK Topguy not in the picture)

I've used it with the Fiio Utws5. It works very nicely with the utws5. Seems like just enough output power to open the Olina up enough. I much prefer Olina wired attached to a Dap or IFi Go Blu though.

I'm using mine with the Qudelix 5k, which sounds great, but i'd love to lose the cable

Ya the good thing about the utws5 is that it can actually drive the Olina. Olina like power and truthfully from my experience the more the better but utws5 has just enough output with a good dac chip embedded that seems to work well with it.

Just saw an Olina youtube review and for the first time noticed that the exterior box says the cable is 4 core OCC. However the Linsoul product description says the cable is SPC. Which is it? Is it possible that at one time the included cable was spec'd to be OCC, the boxes went to print, and after that the cable was changed to SPC?

Just cut the extra plastic sleeve on the AZ09 pro connector. Works quite well and it is pretty secure too.

Got the AZ09 pro's today. Got to work on the outer casing and they work as advertised! Thanks for the proof. Loving them even more now.

how does tanya compares to olina ? is it a completely different tuning ?

Yes it is.

Night and day difference between the two. Though not a fair comparison as the Tanya is like 1/5 the price of the Olina.

Tanchjim Tanya is warmer with a thicker note weight. Tanya is harder to drive but smoother and less fatiguing and way less technical (Tanya has poorer imaging, micro-details, clarity, instrument separation and edge definition). Tanya's bass is much slower and of poorer quality too.

Think of the Olina as a more analytical and technical set, whereas the Tanya is one to chill back and relax, very analoguish sounding instead. Tanya also has a non-detachable cable which may be a deal-breaker for some.

SPC refers to material, which mean the cable made of Silver plated Copper while OCC refers to production process, therefore it is possible for SPC cable made with OCC process

So I got more filter values the other day. Tried all the options and I’m staying with 250 over the stock filter and 250 over the vent. It was odd, I tried 200 over front vent and it sounded underdamped so instead of less bass, it just had less rhythmic bass and sounded more bloated. I really think 250 is the sweet spot for both. Like this, I absolutely prefer them to the oxygen I had but I likely had the low bass version so ymmv. As a reference, in the single driver moderate price point stuff, I've also owned the Kato and listened to the Timeless. As currently configured, I enjoy these as much any of them (likely a bit more but the others are no longer here to compare) though they're all close enough to please. As they come stock/unmodded, I'd rate these 4th favorite out of those 4.

that makes no sense for an SPC cable to describe itself as OCC... if they really meant to highlight the manufacturing process of the copper core, they'd say silver plating over OCC.

On the Olina packaging the cable is described as "4 core OCC copper".
There is nothing written about silver plating, contrary to what is stated on the Linsoul and Tripowin websites.
