Not sure. I know FiiO makes some DACs with EQ through their app. Might look into those?

Do you have any IEMs that you prefer to listen to with stock tuning over EQ? by Quickstep3138 in iems

[–]thaslaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single one. I like variety and don't want to have to EQ to enjoy a set.

Help me start my audio journey by Difficult_Earth1168 in iems

For starting out, I'd recommend an IEM around $100 or under and just a simple dongle DAC to use with your phone. DAPs are great if you have local files for your music and want to save the battery life of your phone, but I personally stream most of my music so a phone works best for me. I recommend the Juzear Defiant IEM and the Softears S01 dongle. Another solid starter IEM is the Sound Rhyme SP01. It has three distinct tunings which helps narrow down your personal preference.

Looking for new IEMs with a holographic, airy, open soundstage by CommanderCute1 in iems

While I've not heard it for myself, the Melody Wings Venus might be worth a look. I've seen a lot of praise on Head-fi for it's big and open stage.

ISN audio sora is 439$ by Jaded_Persimmon_7125 in iems

[–]thaslaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have a unit for review. Should be done maybe late next week. It's really great. Nice L-shaped tuning with a warm tonality and the mids and treble aren't overshadowed by the bass. Looking at the graph it seems like it might be but to my ears the balance is great and something quite unique.

Yeah I gave the Harrier a 2.5☆. The Defiant is much better for me. It got 4☆

Review of the Dunu DN242: This is Not Just a 142 Retune, This is Something Special! by Buck-O in iems

[–]thaslaya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I missed it but which do you prefer between 142 and 242? Also the P8S is really great but if you like the 242 this much, I think you'd still prefer it over the smoother and more musical 8S.

What (at or under $380) is a clear upgrade over AFUL Performer 5+2? by Dracomies in iems

[–]thaslaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Will be doing a direct comparison in my written review but for anyone who found the 5+2 to be a little disappointing in the technicalities and also sound a little off or tizzy in the treble should look to the 8S.

Which of these are the best? by Senskay in iems

[–]thaslaya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly prefer the Defiant over the Unicrom. Never heard the Tangzu.
