What iem and dap are you pairing it with? Just curious.
It’s up to you of course how much burn in time you give it. I tend to use 100hrs with a lot of the gear I have.
Can someone recommend me which would be a better combination with the campfire audio Dorado 2020? Cadmus audio effect or Eros S or some other cable, my budget is $350, my current source is a shanling m6 pro 21. Currently I already own an Ares II+ and want to upgrade.

I don't have Dorado, but familiar with Vega which has a darker lo-res tuning, and Dorado FR is very close to Vega. But, regardless of the tuning, Campfire IEMs usually come with their own SPC stock cable, and while no silver-plated copper sounds the same, Cadmus might give you a closer tonality to a stock cable, and some reduction in bass impact along with better control of the bass. If you tried Ares II and want to upgrade, I think Eros S would make more sense. M6 Pro 21 is a warmer source, Ares S is a warmer cable, Cadmus might kill Dorado sub-bass, Eros S should pair up the best out of these three.

It really wasn't much of a choice. The Leo is nice and all, like a Cloudy day with patches of sun, whereas the Code 51 takes the clouds away. I'm just a layman in the audiophile world so I'm not an elegant enough to know the words to compare them.
It's going to be interesting to see how a bespoke one can compare to the new flagships
I normally do 250+ for DAP/IEM's
lol wut?
No no, I understand what you're saying.
You're trying to lift as many veils as possible, prioritizing transparency above all else.Yeah, I think you made a good decision there. The Chiron (8W in my case) is very transparent. Using four Chiron wires to turn your Code 51 into an 8W cable sounds like the right move.
NA cables are really well built and Hakone is on a high level material wise... doesn't feel like an upgrade IMO..

Yeah I thought so too.. being a 4 wire cable (Hakone) yet the space/depth/air is better than a 8 wire (ERO S) it’s definitely not upgrade if not is a downgrade haha. The ERO S is not a cable that just has everything more. One noticeable between this 2 cable is ERO S just bring everything more forward.
Hi Alson,
I would suggest to gives Eros S more hours to burn in, as normally 20-40hrs is recommended.
As Eros S shines in the soundstage, body and resolution in the Signature Series. If you are looking for a cable that has greater soundstage, we do have some other offerings, come to our experience center to audition more
