Emailed Elysian to get a heads-up on my order. First batch will start shipping around mid-May... wait, that's next week. Here we go!

Ordered via Elysian, now waiting for the lovely, lovely DHL tracking number! (Have had a very good experience with DHL; they've always delivered way earlier than expected, and it's always in great condition)

Will get back to you on that (unless someone else tests first). My brother said he's getting the R4, I'll borrow it to test with the Titan.

Normal. My Kann Alpha lasts its usual day or 2 of almost non-stop playing, midgain 80-90/150. Almost one-month into Titan ownership: I still can't stop grinning when the Titan punches my brains out with its bass response. I alternate between this, Dark Magician and CP32E for my chill-time "I...

Yup. Wore it earlier at a local meet.

Confirm that BTR15 works, but the subbass just isn't there and the sound is dynamically compressed. Just experimented with it since I only really use it for work calls with a more sensitive IEM. Really enjoying these bad boys with the Kann Alpha and my home K9 Pro ESS. EDM songs really give me...

Assuming the reference price in the website is the final price, your guess is close. It's 2.5M yen = roughly 16,153 USD as of time of this post. https://briseaudio.com/en/pages/fugaku From the site, it's a DD/BA/MEMS hybrid:

It's quite hard without a physical store, true. Hard to just rely on reviews and impressions without having demoed something in person. It comes to show how brick and mortar stores, meets and physical conventions are more important than ever. There's so much data to sift through on the Internet...

True on minimum specs. Makes it easier for consumers to make decisions. I think the last piece of gear I saw with that kind of specification was the Heddphone (Mk1 and/or 2). Theoretically, you should have more than enough power as the DC04 Pro has a higher rated output power than the Questyle...

They forgot the most important part of one very big video on the Apple Dongle: the video only said that it would get to a listenable volume. That is true-- it is listenable. But they never said it was a satisfactory listening experience.

The default narrowbores, Symbio peels, and Azla Sednaearfits. I have Azla Xelastec IIs and Origins coming in later, will test. Yup. I recently got an even more doubtful friend to question his beliefs when he demoed my Crimson from the Qudelix 5k he uses for everything, to my friend's iBasso...

I tend to be a non-believer in sources and power, but Symphonium (and Nightjar) IEMs have really challenged my beliefs on these. (I feed the Titan more power off my Kann Alpha [80-90/150 in midgain] than some of my overears [Arya Organic is usually at 70-80, for one] to get to a satisfactory...

Sounds like a batch issue (unless someone also got unlucky with the initial production run)? My unit's from the first run, have no issues with it. (I also don't find it dark, just a bit relaxed in the treble, but the details are there.) (I trust Symphonium and Headphones.com can help resolve this.)

Singaporean IEMs on a Singapore-themed deskmat. All I need is a Merlion IEM holder to tie them together hehehe

Priming wallet for next year. Got the Titan and Project M during the show, and a last-minute Canpur CP32e an hour before I headed to the airport for my flight home!
