Review morning, doing some comparing with the help of coffee 😁
Letshuoer Cadenza4, Letshuoer S15 and Hisenior Mega5EST. Using the HIBY R8 II as source, been a trusty fellow and often using it more than desktop gear now.

I sure don't need any enablers when the gear forces you :rolling_eyes: So first player with 4.4 balanced and I dug up an old IMR Bob put in one of my iem's and low and behold the %&^(%&%&^&%I($ 4.4 balanced out just trounces the SE out and that's just with Bob's cable and now more $$$ to get a really nice 4.4 or probably 2 being I'll want MMCX and 2 Pin:scream: How is it you can never see that dust until you take these type photo's:smirk:

Oh yeah, I always go balanced when I can. Just switching from the SE to balanced out on your Hiby R3 II triples your power, giving you all the headroom you need for those Atens.

Sure thing, I aim to enable... oops, I meant help. Lol.
What really changed my mind were these (IMR Opus Mia), had to crank it a little more but bass slam on balanced is incredible :astonished: :beerchug: (What dust):mask:

It sure Dose!.jpg



The issue on getting some new 4.4's right now is I'm kinda lusting for a pair of these!!!!

Oh ho. THAT is a great album for atmosphere. For the space and volume of the recording. For the clarity and guitar textures. For the little creaks and shuffles and sounds of musicians.

And great music. Kudos.
