Gave up on the Olina a while ago and revisited it today. Spent a little time rolling tips for the Olina and settled with azla short but the treble peaks are still not listenable. Now the #400 fibre filter works pretty well and much more listeanable now and the rest just gave me really bad sounds. Didn't realize the treble and bass sound more imbalanced than they look in stock form. BTW, thanks @Carpet for sharing your modding approach.

What is the best EarTips for make this iem, more like BL03 in sectors : vocal, mid, timbre, weight note more thicker, not must seem like bl03 in that area, just closer to BL03 in that area, (but must still with stock cable, stock filter) any RECCOMEND EARTIPS guys??
Yes, Moondrop Spring Tips are my best solution for the Olina`s shouty treble. I didn't believe they could do it, but they really remove almost all of this kind of ringing.
(Without any other mods)

Double-filter mod?
(Doesn't sound right to me. While mids are ok and shoutiness is gone, bass becomes a bit boomy and treble truncated - on the edge of sibilance.)
Spring tips solve that better imho.
I hope they can fix some issues on the original Olina (overly bright lower treble/upper mids which could be shouty for treble-sensitive folk). Otherwise the original Olina was really quite a powerhouse at the sub $100 region in terms of technicalities and soundstage, it could beat some midFI single DD eg BQEYZ Autumn and Moondrop KATO in technicalities easily.

The effects of the mod are to reduce the peaks in the upper mids and treble, and add a slight boost to the bass. Certainly not enough to make it boomy.
Using springtips to boost the treble and further reduce the bass would in my opinion, make the problems of the Olina worse. Driving it away from the Oxygen, which was it's original target tuning.
