I'm actually field testing all three now, for the upcoming CanJam London preview video. I can say that, of the three, the Cadmus is my favorite by far. :relaxed:
I only had a chance to hear the Ares S and Cadmus and with my home setup I favorited the Cadmus. The Ares S did offer a excellent sound and it was a difficult choice deciding btw them. The Cadmus worked better with the tube amp setup so went with it.
With getting a Ares ii dac I feel the Cadmus will be a even better match in my system so I’m happy went it.

Yeah, I think you made the right choice given that. :)

Hi Shawnb,

I just grabbed a set of the Leo II 8w. Is that something that can be combined with the Code 51?

The difficulty I have is my main IEM's are from a brand that is rightfully hated and despised so finding others to help me make the best pairing is near impossible. I'm too much of a layperson to be able to appreciate some of the subtle differences a cable can make, so I try to use others impressions that have matched mine as a guide. For myself I can't always tell during a blind test but then one song will play and it's like night has turned into day and the differences are less subtle and you can hear an improvement.
I'm not really sure what needs improvement as I'm not really qualified to even comment on (bass, mids, treble, soundstage, clarity or detail). I just know I saw a great deal on the Leo II 8w and my Code 51's are in the process of getting ready to be retermined I figured why not look at combining them if that's possible and would offer any sort of benefit. I'm open to all suggestions on improvement.

Just got my Ares S today and i couldn't be happier. I got it specifically for my detail monsters, the Tri Starlight. The cable is so nice to hold. It feels very premium. I also compared it to the original Ares that i have attached permanently to my Andromeda Gold. It is much more robust in the hand, but still feels soft and comfortable to wear around the ears. I'm not disappointed in this purchase at all. Very highly recommend for the price.
Also the unboxing experience is very nice. The original only came in a small box. This one comes in a larger box with a pouch and a leather cable holder. A very nice touch by Effect Audio.

Still haven't listened to the Timeless since I sent the protos back to EA. I think 37/Cadmus kinda spoiled Timeless for me. That's not really the main reason why I haven't listened to Timeless, but it's true all the same.
Haha exactly!

I was told you only get the plastic if you get all three and I realised I NEED the plastic! :wink:
