Thanks and congratulationsDecember 7th was payment. I had some specific artwork on one unit and recessed jacks so that is some extra time.

Custom Art FIBAE Black Announcement

Yeah... I'm so sorry about such long turnaround, but yes, we finally managed to sort out our printing capabilities and now the artworks should be much better than before and allow for even cooler designs
Can't wait to see some examples...

Today I decided to try out the Black from the mere iPhone dongle and I must say, I am impressed at how good it sounds
My preferred source still is iDSD Micro BL because the 3D+ switch really bring a tad of air and articulation, but still very enjoyable combination the synergy with the iPhone is really very very good with the Black!
I must say again, the fit is amazing and the isolation one notch up from my VE8 and Phantom thanks to deeper and tighter insertion.

Very understandable, this was a pretty big undertaking for you folks. Appreciate the excellent communication throughout.

That's the beauty of the FIBAE tech!
Does it apply there though, the iPhone dongle has a very low output impedance (<0.5ohm) doesn't it?
What I meant is pairing - since the FIBAE is not prone to changes in sound signature and typically very easy to drive it pairs nicely with pretty much everythingDoes it apply there though, the iPhone dongle has a very low output impedance (<0.5ohm) doesn't it?

Ok, so I can continue using iphone 6s then .
Another question that probably sounds strange - I have issues with ear pressure. It usually is not a big issue, unless I am using bass rings on 2000j.
That's why I am a bit worried about buying ciems, as I expect that issue is present as the seal is a lot better. Did you ever have complaints from someone?
We had some cases of pressure build up and it was easily resolved by making slightly smaller shell - basically reducing isolation just a tiny bitThat's why I am a bit worried about buying ciems, as I expect that issue is present as the seal is a lot better.

Yes there is a bit of pressure build up, for me it just happened a bit when I had a cold but you can relieve pressure a bit by pulling the ear and let it go so... now with a big cold I would be careful.
Still, I love it that way, such great isolation!

Will be using mine with either hiby r6 (non pro) or shanling M0.

I'm curious about this too: Are we talking about artwork in the shell or the faceplate? I'm not too keyed into how to build a CIEM but my understanding is that the shell (at least on the Black) is 3D printed, the electronic and acoustic guts are installed, and then the faceplate is installed by hand.Can't wait to see some examples...
Regardless, the thought of CA's breathtaking designs coming through the 3D printing process would be great news!

Unless Piotr has somehow managed to crack swirl 3D-printing within the two months since I interviewed him, I must assume he's talking about printing artwork on the faceplates. But, you'll never know...
Yes this is how it's done. Multicolored graphics require to be printed on the surface of the faceplate and we've finally been able to set up optimal process for looks/quality/durability etc.I'm curious about this too: Are we talking about artwork in the shell or the faceplate?
