Ah - last time I updated that was obviously around the time Bob sent one of those "Zion shipping now " updates. I'll go and knock that off now.

Flex is where a DD makes a "crinkling" sound when being inserted into the ear, or in use. It's to do with pressure in the desired ear canal having nowhere to release, so the crinkling soundness the actual driver diaphragm moving. Manufacturers confirm it's harmless and doesn't cause any...

I ordered a Zion, but agreed a trade with Bob way back when the Dawn was just being offered to a few people to take a Dawn and his DAC dongle prototype unit (decent, but nothing special). Probably lost out financially, but decided it was better to take a definite something rather than a...

Without any actual knowledge, it looks fairly predictable behaviour for IMR at the moment. The have fulfilled or traded out the NaLe orders for Dawns / credit, and sorted the Enigma buyers. There is a slow but steady drip feed of Enigmas into the market via their eBay site. Imagine some...

On a more fun note, very much enjoying the Enigma+. It's very bassy (on silver bottom / blue top top) and damn enjoyable. Detail seems decent, and it's definitely a very musical listen. Going to give it a proper listen and see where it ranks against other higher end stuff I currently have...

They have to have built it first.

Aurisonics got purchased by Fender, who binned the ASG line and eventually moved away from working with Dale (Aurisonics main man). Dale Lott is now designing and making iems with a company called Spear Labs - they have a basshead model called the ASL 4.5, which is a successor of sorts to the...

Which cable is that, out of curiosity?

Joining the Enigma+ party - picked up a second hand pair from Ebay, which hopefully arrive on Tuesday. Looking guard to hearing how they compare to the Seraph (which might be going on sale shortly if there is a huge difference).

Ain't that the truth, as the phrase goes. This is less like a hobby and more like an addiction sometimes! ;)

Think the was my "R" you picked up on eBay. I never opened it - how did you find it compares to the "S" in terms of sound (and weight)?

That's where I got mine from. It's basically the CA2000T with a more powerful amp section (sans tubes) and less portability. The line in / amp only option is more useful than I thought, too - was running my other half's record deck through it for a while when we wanted to listen to vinyl on...

Wifi is solid enough to keep signal and stream from my Plex Server in a three story townhouse where the server is on the ground floor and the CA1000 is on the top floor. It's not the strongest wifi antenna by any means, but it's doing the job for me. Don't know if that helps at all? UI is...

Think most of us in this hobby are collectors of one sort or another - last time I did a proper count I had about 8 different DAPs and over 30 different IEMs... As long as you can afford it, fill your boots I say. ;)

Wow - that's some collection. Why the multiples of each DAP, if you don't mind me asking?
