I am hoping that my R4 doesn’t combust like the rest but if it does, I’ll just keep saving for a kilobuck DAP. The DC-Elite has solved my need for anything else, desktop or portable since I live an EQ-free lifestyle haha.

Dope thanks. Picked up the newest release this morning, good to know where it stands with the competition.

Any opinions on these cables in comparison to other brands like Effect? @Dsnuts

The discount on the OCC849 got me, that’s a nice lookin cable. finally ordered the Liqeuer tips as well.

Agreed; manufacturers collabing is much more interesting to me. I don’t align with Timmy’s sound preferences at all so, not particularly on my radar. Looks nicer than your average collab fare though.

Om Unit - MISSIONQUEST Level 3 DJ mix

REAL

Volume just has to be on an even number for me… god bless the DC-Elite for not even having a display lol.

collab IEM YouTubers must be stopped

Nikki Nair - Snake QT-X / DC-Elite Pulsing bass lines, hyper kinetic breaks, catchy percussion… Nikki Nair is one of the best

Ivy Lab - OURDOGISMISSING Szalayi / DC-Elite using the bass cannons for all the club music that came out today. Starting with Ivy Lab.

Hello all, this weekend I will be finishing my review of the lovely Rose Technics QT-X, a lovely 1DD x 6BA hybrid ($339) A slightly bright leaning tonality, deep sub bass, lots of treble extension, an included dongle (not the DC-Elite heheh), this small set packs a lot of punch for the value...

Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown QT-X / DC-Elite Solo album from the singer of Portishead, with production by James Ford. He released one of my favorite albums last year with The Hum so this is extra exciting. My love is growing for the QT-X with each passing day.

This one is on my short list as well, actually.

Objekt - Cocoon Crush QTX / DC-Elite bought a new vaporizer and this was quite an album to turn on while testing that lol. Spooky idm.

- 634ears LOAK2-TiCL; very much cannot stop checking my emails for shipping notice any day. - Hiby R4; bit concerned with the massive amount of QC issues hitting the forums today lmaooo. Will be saving money for a higher end player if mine is affected and skipping the budget section altogether...

Damn dude congrats! I would love to listen and review a ZMF, they are on my endgame list for over ears. Great pic for the review too! I don’t need it… I don’t need it… I recommend it! I think the QT-X may slide into number 2 as well with some more time, was nice to realize that as I made it. I...

yeah that’s a lot lol I feel like you could get a solid 25 tho and just list the rest by gut feeling or somethin

cross post from the ranking thread but I finally sat down and listed every IEM I have heard. Was a fun process and one that got me thinking about the hobby and where to go from here, I suggest it! Top 4 are things I still own. The rest has been sold, returned or retired. Oriolus Szalayi...

i think much like cell phone tech of yesteryear, the technology behind IEMs is still growing exponentially every 6 months... i think interest will be high as long as that innovation keeps going. Things like Bone conduction, xMEMS, budget sets from high end brands (pilgrim), planars drivers etc...

yeah I was only seeing ads on my iPad lol, my uBlock settings were messed up so I fixed it. All good, but the ads were whacky as hell when I saw em!

Stop Making Sense! A perfect live record and movie. Damn the Explorer looks legit. Very nice for the price.

Deftones - Diamond Eyes QT-X / Q5K Quick walk before bed, dunno why I’m always in the mood for heavy music at bed time lately.
