I went by Final Audio Design booth , they have 2 new variant on their products
FAD Heaven VII
FAD Heaven VIII

My short impression

FAD Heaven VII :
High :Has brighter and better detail
Mid : a bit backward
Bass : very good in detail
Overall : more neutral

FAD Heaven VIII
High : is smother than Heaven VII
Mid : is thicker , sweeter and intimate , more forward
Bass : is bigger than FAD VI
Overall : more for vocal lover

IMO

My JH Roxanne AK R03 is Universal JH Roxanne with special tuning for Astell and Kern DAPs included balance cable TRRS

My short impression :
I had my first JH Roxanne 2 month ago , after 2 weeks i sold , because I thought my custom JH Roxanne Carbon Fiber was ready
This JH Roxanne AK R03 is my third JH Roxanne
Now I have 2 JH Roxanne :
Custom JH Roxanne Carbon Fiber
Universal JH Roxanne AK03 special tuning for AK DAPs with balance cable included

JH Roxanne AK R03 sound quality :
Has the closest sound quality from my JH Roxanne custom Carbon Fiber .

Share some of photos:
 

 

 

Final Audio Piano Forte X-CC and X-CG: With the right song and the right recording, I don't think any earphone can beat this one, sounds so wonderful direct from AK240.
 
 
 

Me with Alex Rosson from Audeze
 
 

Me with my friend and Dale Lott from Aurisonics
 

Random pict at USF
 
 

Sony Z7: Definitely a very good product! Warm, smooth, full body and pleasing sound, very comfort to wear, luxury build quality. Top notch!
 

Biggest surprise to me come from Grado, I used to hate GS1000 and GS1000i, but this GS1000e is my most favourite Grado ever! The improvement is very very significant!
 

Super heavenly good vocality: Final Audio Heaven VIII, I don't think any iem under USD 1000 can beat them in vocality.
 
 

Random picts at USF
 

Dita Balance cable: Sound fuller and more spacious compare to their single ended cable. Worth to upgrade indeed.

At the USF show I missed to met Alex Rosson from Audeze
As Audeze fan boy I need to have discussion and took foto with him :D

Since 2010 I have his LCD like follow :
LCD 2 rev 1 > LCD 2 rev 2 > LCD 2 Rev 3 latest version before Razor > all I have sold
LCD 3 rev 1 with muffled driver > I have sold > bought LCD 3 with better high > I have sold

2014 I have his LCD series with Fazor technology :
LCD XC
LCD X
LCD 3

I hope in the next audio event I can meet him like my friend Nico :D

At the USF I and the Siltech CEO and his wife as CEO from Crystal Cable shared and discussed many thing about their Crystal Cable for portable audio .

I bought their Crystal Cable Picollo mini to mini

We have done the comparison between their prototype Refererence series with 2 braided vs my DIY Crystal Cable Reference 3 braided :
In this comparison my DIY CC Reference 3 braided won in term :
High : has more presence and detail and better clarity
Mid : has more weight and better pronounce and sweeter
Bass : has more body , better bass impact and going lower and cleaner

At the end they are agreed that 3 Braided SQ is much better than 2 braided
My DIY CC Reference Cable use :
3 Braided for left , right and Ground my DIY friend use the same CC Reference cable and I use Viablue connector

On their prototype they use
2 braided for left and right , for Ground they use not the same CC reference cable and use Neutrik connector
In the future they are agree to change with other connector like Viablue , Oyaide or Double Helix new Plugs

IMO
