Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk
That is what I see with the ie900. The ie600 has a foam behind the grill and you can't see the driver or housing.- M3NTAL

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
Great points - Didn't realize the OI was that high on the M5U. I'd like a DAP with decent eq (g.eq or peq) and nothing 'gimped' on the SE / BAL. outputs. Are there any DAPs that is a full FPGA system for their DAC? Would be nice to have firmware options that could add features at later...- M3NTAL

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
Good questions. The N3U seems unique to me, in that it offers the tubes + simple interface + price. Does the similar priced Shanling M5U compete in sonic technicality or just priced with the 'extras' (Operating system, etc.)?- M3NTAL

Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)
Are those the Drop X version? Cool to see them still getting use. I like how you have the tip flush with the nozzle. The shell design just never allowed them to sit in my ears right.- M3NTAL

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
Are there any similar DAPs that I should be cross-shopping when looking at the N3Ultra? Main IEMs are IER-Z1R, IE900, LCD-i4, Campfire sensitive set. (OG Andro, etc.)- M3NTAL

Sennheiser IE900 Review, Measurements, & Harman Target Talk
Does anyone have side-by-side pictures of the IE600 and IE900 nozzles? My IE600 has foam behind, but the IE900 does not - is that normal?- M3NTAL

JH Audio JH-13 PRO impressions thread
I feel ya. Still with my JH13 FP and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor customs. CIEMs were the only way to go back then if you wanted something above & beyond consumer grade audio. It'd be cool if I could send in my JH13 and get the internals upgraded.- M3NTAL
