Hello all!
I have been listening to SL 1.0+ for a almost a week. I like but still evaluating.
My question: I have a couple decent DAPs including Colorfly C3, Cowon PD, Shozy Alien, etc. I am interested in a higher quality DAP and wondered if Monk+ and SL 1.0+ are capable of higher performance or if I will need to get better buds as well.
I’m also open to buying TOTL buds and continue using my current DAPs if that would be a wiser choice.
Thanks!

Most earbuds are easy to drive until you go for 400 ohm or higher

I would not advise having the ATH-CM2000Ti as the main, too strange sound with an unbalanced sound signature, squeezed and noisy, purely design product, spoiled by marketers for the sake of appearance, although a good driver, I admit. But in the end it is not better than ATH-CM700Ti or 9W Studio Neo. Let's see what will change with a burn ..

Looks like I missed the Kubes. Anyone think they'll resurface again?

At they rate they're selling, I'm sure they will...

Sorry to hear that, uncle. What a shame. Thanks for the info anyway.

it does not matter, in any case, after the ATH-CM707 it was expected

Have to say, the Vunbuds / Mojo combo is really doing it for me. Spending a bit of time with my laptop (downloaded Bandcamp albums and some live recordings). Great stuff.

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

I noticed that the seller of the Sabia earbuds now has some silver cabled ones (no mic) back in stock plus there is still stock available for the standard mic version and the mmcx version. My silver cabled ones are on the way so I am not able to comment on sound yet but someone else might be able to

I had a look for a link to this seller but see it's not the one with the Kubes. Any chance of a reminder? Ta

Thanks. The link I clicked said no other items for sale. Stoopid ebay.

Now I have had a look, I reckon the Vunbuds are just Sabias with a cable similar to VJC. In that case, the mmcx Sabia is a good buy when matched with a cable of your choice

What's people's general opinion on the Sabias? Good for the money?

I'm looking for something similar and maybe a step up from the Yincrow X6. I was really impressed by the bass extension and bass thump on those and want more of the same.
