    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Update: got email from Bob, seems everything is ok. Waiting for new updates :) Edp Ace and Halcyons are the only IMR in my collection and the only cheap ones left. Had my hands over Fir Xenon6 recently - that has some of the greatest imr-like sound, with great weight to bass like old-school...

    Hi guys! Did anyone hear from Bob last weeks? I sent edp ace for service some time ago, but can’t get any response from imr if they received anything.

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Hi guys, does anyone hear from Bob after a new year? I want to repair my halcyons, but no one responds to my emails. I’m curious if IMR is still operating, or it’s gone.

    In general, I like IMR iems with quite neutral players, as otherwise it can be too much of “fun”.

    Sure, Avalon sounds spectacular with dx320max, smooth and analog with the stage on top tier level, super big and realistic, but not in expense of emotions and bass textures. Also, effect audio ares (4wire) works well with Avalon by accentuating treble a bit more than stock.

    HiBy RS2: dual card slots, Darwin R2R, FIR, NOS, MQA 8x--news and impressions thread

    There are many other minor issues with software, like: - disable "double tap to wake up" doesn't work when device goes to standby mode. The device still can be woken up by double tap from standby mode. - "maximum digital volume output" doesn't set the volume to 100%, but just locks the volume...

    What filters do you use on Avalon? I’m stick to black-black, but want to try something esle for comparison :)

    Agree! My favorite small dap is Hiby R5 Saber. It has old android and not the most resolving capabilities, but it works decent as usb transport and the sound is musical and energetic. Works great with darker iems. It’s pity that all decent modern android players are much bigger.

    I can get your point. If IMR trust and delivery issues are the biggest your problem - you must be one of the luckiest people on Earth. 1-st World problems moment 😂 But also we don’t have to eat Bobs sh**t silently without giving any feedback here.

    It’s very funny because Bob actually exploits “drivers first” prejudice, by putting some fancy combinations of drivers in his IEMs. I’m 100% sure he can achieve even more mature sound with less of a fancy stuff, just by putting more effort in tuning and designing the iems. As I see, his...

    Same for me, I’ll probably get one if there are any in the stock sometime in the future. I like IMR round shells, they seem to work better for me than EDP-like shells of new generations. And I hope sometime Bob will make anatomical shape housings like Noble and many other iems.

    Common thing with cables. You never know how it would sound before trying :)

    same for me mest mk2 is waaay thinner than Avalon and most of IMR’s. It feels like lower midrange is their weakest place. So I use CEMA 22awg copper with Mest mk2 to bring more body to the sound. But on the other side, mest mk2 isolates exceptionally well and are my 1-st choice for noisy places.

    Same for me, Avalon is thumpy and very fast in bass with great mids (only with deep fit, when BC starts to sing).

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I had mest2 and szalay on hands at the same moment and was not impressed by szalay, mest2 has better midrange, better staging and is easier to drive. Also, szalay is significantly bigger (one of the largest iem out there) than mest which can be a deal breaker for people without huge ears.

    the only worthy upgrades within IMR line is Avalon and Titan. Those are very good and bassy. You can liok for UM Mest mk2, if you find one discounted for 900 usd or similar price - it’s the killer iem, one of the best iem money can get, just a bit worse than ToTL iems for $3-5k

    Yes, I’ve used 65w chargers from Baseus and Anker and everything worked perfectly. If you use 65W charger from a reliable brand, certified QC, PD or any other certification, it should cause no problem to any device.

    I hope IMR will deliver your enigma and returns back to business. New iems are not always a better option than older generation, especially in top tier. For example, I like Sultans more than newer Viking Ragnar, or Mest mk2 more than mk3, or CA Andromeda 2017 more than 2020. Because that bit of...

    I have Halcyon, EDP Ace, Avalon, Elysium as well as UM Mest mk2 and Noble Sultan. Halcyon, Ace and elysium feels like entry level, they are very good, but not the top level, by any means. Avalon is much more refined and can be a fair competitor for Mest mk2 for IMR house sound lovers. Avalon...

    As for me, I got a refund for zion this summer and refund for na-le previous month. Recenty, I had an opportunity to buy barely used Elysium in perfect condition for an amazing price. Comparing Elysium vs EDP Ace I found them a bit similar with Elysium darker, with more linear and mature sound...

    They sound pretty ok, the mismatch is below hearing/positioning differences. But the fact of it is very annoying and it’s hard to focus and just listen the iems without looking for what’s wrong :)

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    I hope everything would be ok in the end. I received my halcyons from repair few weeks ago. Bob had remade one unit to reproduce the correct balance of sound. Somehow, the L-R balance is better now, but in remade unit the drivers are in different position. I gave up sending the iems for...

    I just connected it with USB c charging cable to anker power brick in wall socket. I’m not sure, maybe it’s possible to connect MUB1 to some kind of pure current audiophile power supply if there is USB c cable for it. The only thing I know it’s better to avoid using the same socket for audio...
