Hello everyone!

I have a CCA CRA (old version) which I like but I want something better. I also have a Sundara which is of course better but which I prefer in terms of sound quality.

I have a few IEMs in mind that I'm putting in the survey. Maybe some will be close to the quality of the Sundara? I'll also take your other recommendations.

For the DAC/AMP, I use my headphones/iem with an Apple dongle on my iPhone iPhone or ifi Zen Can on my computer.

Should I take an upgrade of ≈100$ or 2 IEMs for a total of ≈100$ to have more diversity?

Maybe my budget is too low for something approaching the quality of a Sundara, but I'd like to stay in this price bracket.

Thanks for your help!

I'd go with 2 I have, the Simgot EA500 but not the LM which was too v shaped and vocals sounded too distant. The 7hz Salnotes Zero:2 and Truthear Zero Blue are excellent and worth the price all day long.

Definitely the HEXA. Brilliant.

Been having a bass itch recently but Hades graph legit scares me haha.
Have the LM good overall for price. Excellent bass snappy and not bloaty. Res is great but at the sacrifice of treble being grainy and sharp sometimes.
