Hi All, Happy Holidays! Thank you all for your patience and suggestions. I have returned all IEMs except the Sennheiser IE 200 and the Moondrop Starfield 1 I already owned. I am listening to the Sennheiser IE 200 as I write, setup: ifi HipDac 2, 4.4mm balanced Tripowin Cable with Comply T-200...

Hi @baskingshark Not my favorite, see me updated ranking above

I received five more IEMs and updated my rankings. In order of preference: 1. Sennheiser IE200 3.5mm $119 - They sound, correct, balanced, musical, lacking technicals of 7hz, Sounds great with volume turned up 2. Mooddrop Starfield 3.5mm $109 (2020) - Muddy bass overtakes midrange, but I am...

Thank you @baskingshark ! Any suggestions for an IEM that might meet my desired tuning?

..well last night I went a little crazy and ordered a whole bunch of IEMs just to see about the differences, today the first three arrived. @baskingshark I would love to hear any feedback. Thank you! In order of preference: 1. Chopin 4.4mm $199 - thump, thump with great technicals, over boosted...

Thank you all for your feedback! The 7HZ Timeless received three votes; I just ordered a pair. I also ordered a pair of the Truthear Zero blue, curious about the "Harmon Tuning." I will give impressions when I receive them. Still on my shortlist; Penon Fan 2 ($279 + shipping) Hisenior T4...

Thank you @baskingshark The AFUL MagicOne looks interesting. Do you have a pair? Curious how you would compare AFUL MagicOne to my Moondrop Starfield 1. I use an iFi hip-dac 2 with the Moondrop Starfield 1

Thank you @dunring! I will check out the Truthear Zero Blue $49, Seeaudio Yume II, Simgot EA500. Do any of the Electrostatic or Planar IEMs in the $200 range have a more neutral tuning?

Hi @baskingshark, thank you for the message! I subscribed to the Penon Newsletter I will watch for the 50% off sales. Do you have any other suggestions? Do any of the Electrostatic or Planar IEMs in the $200 range have a more neutral tuning? Thank you!

Hi All, Happy Holidays! I would like to buy myself a gift of about $200 About me: I have several IEMs but keep returning to the Moondrop Starfield 1. I like neutral Sound Quality and mid-range forward with a large soundstage. I have listened to Stax 007 and was blown away. I loved them and had...

Thank you purplesun !! That did it, now the iFi Nano controls the volume. As it should work, doesn't matter what the volume is set at on the R3 Pro, the iFi controls volume. Except if I set the R3 Pro to "0", then the volume goes to "0" on the iFi Nano. Sorry other question: Running v1.4...

Dear DW75, thank you for getting back to me. In the Play settings there is a "Output Selection with a (headphone Icon)" but the "headphone Icon" is grayed out and cannot be changed. "USB Audio Device Connected" shows up on the R3 Pro when I plugin the iFi Nano (DAC / headphone Amp) and I can...

Hi All, Received my R3 Pro and learning the features. Trying the R3 Pro as source with an external DAC using a iFi Nano, can get the audio to play, but the R3 Pro is still controlling the volume. Have changed the USB setting to Dock and the R3 Pro is still controlling the volume. Please...

M9 Questions, Running and WFMU ? Hi All, I am thinking of buying the M9 I like the small size and the options of Wi-Fi and balanced output. I have two questions; 1. Does any run using their Fiio M9 ? I have a Cayin N3 and it is definitely not made for running. 2. Anyone use the Fiio M11...

Thank you @SilverEars ! Yes, I am into IEMs, but more into closed back full size headphones. - Mark
