The BGVP NS9 has a very interesting combination of drivers. The The BGVK FDK-60718 is a TWFK-30017 combined with a DEK-60318. Very good technology for the price I paid. They've arrived in the UK so I'll have them in a few days. I have an imaginary sound in my mind because of the driver makeup....I wonder how close I will be. Probably totally different. Anyway here is a guide to all the drivers.
So I got the QKZ VK4 and well I am not too convinced about the hype. I am not saying they are horrible, they're even great on about half the tracks while on others I find them somewhat shouty/telephonic, overall bit crude sounding. I could live with that and get used to it I guess but there is also a spike in the treble that emphasizes cymbals, hi hats, etc... to much for my taste and many EDM track are overly dominated by the tsss, tsss, tsss , tsss which I hate. Some people seem to like that and view this as a quality so if you're one of them, they'll be OK I suppose, lower end of the spectrum is quite good and the best part for me. Cable is horrible in almost every way (I don't mean that sonically) but they match superbly (I mean that aesthetically) with a cheap TRN T2.

New battery-powered DAC/amp from Xuelin called H7.
Interesting feature- built-in "headphone test" that detects and displays the impedance of earphones/headphones in ohms (and auto-adjusts gain accordingly?).
Output power specs on Linsoul look outrageous: balanced out at 1W @ 32ohm ?! Couldn't verify these power settings anywhere else.

I am waiting to receive it. I couldn't resist a Dual ES9038Q2M DAC for that price.
I've seen elsewhere that the power specs are in peak-to-peak Volts, not RMS.
Anyway, I will make my own measurements with my humble oscilloscope.... I'll have a rough idea of its real power.
This is what I have found:
Importing and exporting (p-p):
LOW (O-32 ohm) Single end 2.9V Equilibrium 5.8V
MID (32-150 ohm) Single end 4.1V Equilibrium 8.2V
HIG (150-100 ohm) Single end 6.8V Equilibrium 13.4V
Translated into RMS it could be something like this:
V (RMS)
LOW (O-32 ohm) Single end 1.03V Equilibrium 2.05V
MID (32-150 ohm) Single end 1.45V Equilibrium 2.9V
HIG (150-100 ohm) Single end 2.4V Equilibrium 4.73V
I am a fan of IEMs with piezoelectric speakers. I bought this pair quite impulsively and don't feel regret for a second.
31323,31736,29689,10mm piezo and a DD on each side with tubes.
The sound is warm with moderate extension on both ends. Moderate stage size and surprisingly good separation. Mid is the highlight here and vocal is closer to the ears. This is far from V shape in tuning and I thought I prefer V or W shape tunings but this proofs me wrong. Already became my favourite IEM of 2021.
Received my Xinhs cable for KZ DQ6 today.
Really nice cable for the price and comes with a nice carry case.
Makes a good improvement over the stock cable.
I think the market was actually flooded with 2DD + BAs sets around 2 years ago. Eg. KZ ZS6, ZS7, BQEYZ BQ3, K2, KC2 etc. Probably there is a new OEM 2DD driver developed recently.
I've got a review unit of the Mini coming in a few weeks (2-3 weeks minimum). Will be my first ever hybrid. Hoping that it fits my ear and to some point technical as I've never tried anything that focuses on that aspect.
On a different note, the BQEYZ Summer leaves much to be desired as a 130 USD IEM from my expectations
