Something is missing in this discussion … what eartips do you guys use lead to different sonic perception.

I completely agree with this. These days, all the IEMs are pretty good with respect to the price point, especially within the same manufacturer like Aur. One is not necessarily better than the other, but just different flavor altogether.

Thanks Nik! Will be placing an order soon!

Thanks - I'm looking for midrange forward and focus on female voices, sweet and organic. For bass, I already have the Maestro Mini and Scarlet Mini, and am eyeing at the new Symphonium TItan as well. My goal is to own all the Singapore trio: Aur Ascension, Fatfreq Scarlet Mini (will be selling...

Haha yeah ... and Clarion wide-bore tips for enhanced treble, but I'm still tip rolling this thing. The Scarlet Mini is a bit brighter and more detailed than the Maestro Mini, the bass is equally or even more explosive, but I can only listen to it for like 10-15 minutes with a smiley face and...

For sure! The Raphael is something … it turns my IE900 and Tia Fourté into sounding real sweet, keeping the same DACs. Anyway, Aurora was my first choice until the Ascension was released … then I came across Leonardf’s and Nik’s reviews, and now got even more confused haha … the trouble of...

Thanks for this Nik, very insightful! For sweet, organic, female vocals like country music, guitar strings, and a bit of jazz, no K-Pop, would you recommend the Ascension over the Aurora? My setup will be with Cayin RU-6 and Eletech Raphael for something meaty and analog, and Shanling UA5 and...

I am on the same boat and from what I have read, Ascension might be the way to go for me. I like good midrange and from what I have read, it seems to be neutral-warm W-tuning, midrange oriented? Also, I am too lazy to play around with the tuning options on the IEMs ... I just want to listen to...

Thank you for this. I currently have the Fatfreq Maestro Mini and Scarlet Mini for bass, but am letting go the former, and the 64 Audio Tia Fourte, TOTL from a few years back that still remain relevant for my detailed reference. Titan might be the way to go for me, don't need another airy...

From reading all these 11 pages, Are the Symphonium Titan more musical, with better bass and treble extension as compared to the Helios and Crimson? Or where does it sit with respect to its two fellow siblings, nevermind the Meteor and Triton? 😅 Has anyone compared them to the Maestro Mini...

Are the Meze Advar still relevant these days? I am looking for smooth-sounding IEMs to replace my current setup for office use: Shanling UA5 - Lavricables Master - Sennheiser IE900, still using the same dongle DAC/AMP. In addition to the Meze Advar, I have also come across the following: Meze...

That’s a really good point! Thank you for this !

And the 6A too please if possible. Just spent the morning watching your comparison between the 3A, 6A, and 300B MKII, and then dedicated video on the 3A and the 300B MKII. Currently looking to upgrade from xDuoo TA-26 and Cayin is on my radar, just not sure which one. Pairing it with the ZMF...

Thank you so much - right on point! After the OTL, I am wondering what's next - should I invest in a proper desktop/lounge tube amp like full-size Cayin HA-2A/3A/6A/300BMKII that work on triode/ultralinear, Feliks Audio Echo/Elise, ZMF Decware OTL, and eventually circled back to Schiit...

How does the Vali 2+/2++/3 compared to Valhalla 2 or even OTL like xDuoo TA-26? Is the sound more tubey / holographic? I have the latter paired with Sennheiser HD800S and ZMF Atticus, streaming out of Cayin N7 3.5mm-to-RCA. Thinking about Modi Multibit and Vali 3 for my first Schiit.
