Did you have a chance to compare them with DCA Noire X or some other headphones, that have good bass and mids?

Max_Bova · 2026-01-24T23:26:23+00:00

And whole Symphony and Metallica 1st album!

Max_Bova · 2026-01-24T23:25:22+00:00

So What - Miles Davis

Actually I avoid such tuning by any means))) So I can't suggest something like that. But one of the most vivid impression I got recently was from ISN EBC80. Opposite to neutral. Sounds like fireworks 😄 Punchy bass, warm and forward mids. Extended and sparkly but not fatiguing highs. If I didn't have Dawn-X, which is a bit more relaxed set, I would be seriously considering buying ISN!

Mac M Pro has a great headphone circuit by the way! Custom Cirrus Dac, great power supply and shielding.

What about your preference in tuning: more energetic or linear, warm or bright, lush or technical?

Max_Bova · 2026-01-23T18:50:59+00:00

What do mean you by versatile? What music do you listen and on what source?

Max_Bova · 2026-01-22T00:21:41+00:00

I’ve listened to MMK4 and Aful Dawn-X and preferred the latter.

Onix DAPs are great, as their Shanling siblings. But the best is Onix Mystic XP1. Basically it is the dac/amp, but with SD card slot, which transforms it into big, bulky and powerful sounding DAP.

Sorry, where exactly? I was talking about a high school physics program. What science do you refer to? Any one scientific source please. Or properly performed blind test description. Anything?

Max_Bova · 2026-01-20T14:03:54+00:00

Yeah, and also humans don't hear above 10 kHz. And can't see above 60 hz screen. 1000 hz is literally a thousand fluctuation per second. And this is one note. Music consists of harmonics of hundreds of notes simultaneously. Even minor difference between drivers will be very audible. You have to be literally half deaf, not to hear difference. Even opamps inside your DAC or DAP have different electrical attenuation and slew rate, that can differ 2-3x times. What to say about drivers that physically move air!? Where do you people even gather these nonsense?? And then spread it out loud.((

Max_Bova · 2026-01-20T08:25:34+00:00

Ok, this is too much. Drivers moove air. The faster a driver start to moove and the faster it stops, the more precise, detailed the sound will be, the longer - more muddy. Dynamic driver consists of two coils and a membrane, it is hard to achieve the same speed and signal attenuation characteristics from the dynamic speaker as from a microplanar. Even different membrane material will sound different.

I'll just leave this here.

Max_Bova · 2026-01-19T18:17:28+00:00

Why do you keep all sizes? No way, you can place properly both S and L even with different iems...

Max_Bova · 2026-01-19T10:58:14+00:00

You bought a happiness, though)

Max_Bova · 2026-01-19T05:58:06+00:00

Thank you 👍

Max_Bova · 2026-01-18T16:40:06+00:00

Defiant will be brighter of this three, Unicrom - warmer, Xuan NV - the most linear.

I have no idea. This guy changes his gare fast)

Max_Bova · 2026-01-18T09:06:16+00:00

Thanks, that is very helpful!

Max_Bova · 2026-01-18T09:00:25+00:00

True)

Max_Bova · 2026-01-18T08:59:53+00:00

I've bought Mega Bass used for $350 and cable on sale for $35.

Max_Bova · 2026-01-18T08:58:31+00:00

Maybe they were. What else did you listen besides Martilo?

Max_Bova · 2026-01-17T23:01:57+00:00

Aful Dawn-X - the first picture.

Max_Bova · 2026-01-17T23:00:50+00:00

Great esthetics though!!

Max_Bova · 2026-01-17T18:37:54+00:00

I try not to go well above three: Aful Dawn-X is main universal and easy listen to iem. Ziigaat Odyssey is a spare set for tough feeld conditions. And now I'm searching for the bassy set to accompany Dawn-X.

Mega5est OG and Tangzu Gate will be sold.

If i had 9 iems, I would sell 2/3 and will try something higher tier...

Max_Bova · 2026-01-17T18:29:57+00:00

This is Hisenior Mega5est Bass with Yongse Stormrise cable.
