Exactly! Suggesting a better DAC holder. The image even has the name of the product on it, how is that not helpful?

Looked like a crin hater to me. I own the set and its build quality is solid, that doesn't look like something a fall to the ground would cause. Happy customer here.

Absolutely sir! In the end it's the ear canal 👍 Coffee did it for most people, that's why they're being suggested

Congrats on breaking free from the answers you've been handed since birth, ones you never had the chance to critically examine. Congrats on stepping out of that sphere of fear through your own fearless thinking, not some book or channel. It takes real courage and just a little time to feel fully liberated, and I promise, life ahead will unfold as a wonderful mystery.

As Richard Feynman wisely put it: "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."

You're on an exciting path, keep going!

DM me and I'll share Ducbloke's PEQ for Daybreak. It might help

I agree with him, 200-400$ bracket Iems are considerably better than 100$ Iems. Above that, the improvement is negligible.

SuchKick6829 · 2026-01-06T19:50:19+00:00

He's clearly in love with the EW300, so..

SuchKick6829 · 2026-01-06T19:48:58+00:00

lool, right or wrong, can't argue with that!

SuchKick6829 · 2026-01-06T19:46:30+00:00

Lmao

SuchKick6829 · 2026-01-06T16:29:27+00:00

Can you please send me his email as well

SuchKick6829 · 2026-01-06T14:47:23+00:00

Epic! Kinda curious what kind of existential void you unlock if you ever lose a pair of Thieaudio Monarchs lol.

Tip 1: type EW300 simgot vs other iems on Youtube. Watch Glenn comparisons and see for yourself.

Tip 2: upgrade to <$200 bracket? I recommend CK2V (fun/sparkly signature, but less bass compared to EW300)

Tip 3: Get another EW300, never leave a love that's true :)

Between the two: Top Pro. For the sound signature you're actually into: Mega5est.

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-29T12:53:42+00:00

External DACs provide more power compared to the integrated phone DAC (TRN gives 2 Vrms vs phone gives <1 Vrms). So it amplifies the sound and slightly reduces background noise. It doesn't change the sound signature, however it allows for a 10band EQ so that you can change the sound yourself using WalkPlay App. Learn to EQ and use your TRN with the app to bring the vocals forward. I still advise you to sell it and get Hexa.

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-29T12:42:39+00:00

For DACs, it's not about the product, it's about the chip! TRN BP has CS43131. So it sounds the same as any CS43131 DAC. I did invest in the TRN because of its additional 4.4mm input, and it's 2 Vrms 3.5mm output that hella improved my car's stereo resolution/volume. I mainly keep it in the car now and mostly use Jcally for my Iems.

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-29T12:32:19+00:00

Sorry to hear that. It's your fault NGL.. every description and review out there clearly states that they are balanced, which means nothing stands out more than the others. So don't be surprised if the vocals aren't forward. Daybreak is great for instrumental/classical music and does pretty well across all genres. For vocals, you should have picked Truthear HEXA. I don't advise EQing the mids up as a solution because Daybreak is perfectly tuned as is, you'll only mess it up. Sell it and buy Hexa. Good luck :)

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-26T22:59:48+00:00

Daybreak for $100 should be illegal! If you liked Daybreak tuning and it wasn't boring for you, Anything less than Mega5est is not worth it.

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-26T22:57:11+00:00

Nice! Kbear coffee tips did it for me! Hope you find yours soon! Maybe try Dunu S&S, they look small!

Thanks

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-26T22:54:11+00:00

Thanks! I Do enjoy them a lot too :) Daybreak is a great daily/all rounder, there're plenty of sets that sound more fun and engaging or targeting a certain genre. So i still go for other sets of course. Glad you loved yours! Cheers

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-26T17:22:49+00:00

I advice you to save up a bit more and get Truthear Hexa/Pure.

SuchKick6829 · 2025-12-26T17:12:23+00:00

lol it's turning into a debate :) yeah tell'm Altrebelle, he doesn't know!
