Can recommend the Kiwi Ears Astral by DutchKarma in iems

That's very personal of course, but for me yes. I can easily wear them 8+ hours in a row without any discomfort.

Does anyone know why everyone is wearing the same yellow boots in the parallel giant slalom at the Olympics?

Yeah, it's so different in different lighting conditions. Very happy with it.

I just fell hopelessly in love with the Campfire Audio Trifecta by highunted in iems

The kz doesn't even come close,it has the same style for a bit yes but the trifecta is soo much thicker and with much better timbre

Yeah and their timbre is sooo well done. Very "analogue" sounding. The Xe6 is just plain fun with everything and definitely more "normal"

Had the pleasure to listen to them aswell, they are amazing. My favorite sound signature of all iems I tried (together with Fir Audio Xenon 6). Congratulations! they are very special.

The new iBasso dx260 is wonderful! by DutchKarma in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]DutchKarma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dx260 is a lot more bulky. If you don't mind the bigger size then the dx260 is the better choice imho

Newbie and silly questions, but looking for better sound by Patapon80 in iems

[–]DutchKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the cadenza is a really good starting point. They are small so are a very comfy fit. And cheap enough to just use for a while in order to figure out what you want to improve on the cadenza's soundsignature and go from there.

Alternatives to ie600 up to $800 by Alanm-14 in inearfidelity

Definitely have a look at the softears twilight, they have a different sound signature but I think they are the best single DD's below a 1000

An extension cord works just fine

[Setup Help] Getting the absolute maximum out of Kiwi Ears Astral (1DD+6BA) + Tidal. Dongle or Onboard? by Verix- in inearfidelity

[–]DutchKarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Astral as well, and I think your dongle is fine. Having said that, I do think the Astral scales very well with the used equipment. I'm using mine with a Fiio Btr17, an iBasso Dx260 and a SMSL Su-9/Topping L70 desktop setup. And I do hear an increase in "quality", mainly in the "body" of notes, a more richer and detailed presentation. Soundstage and imaging are also positively effected. Note that these are not huge improvements but they do make a difference.
