I just picked up both of those iems this week myself. Super surprised at how good they sound considering their cost.

Mine😊

I have never felt a device (TRI TK2) that feels this cheap and expensive at the same time lol.

This is a really neutral sound as has been reported. There’s not much to say about it. It gives power and control to whatever you plug into it which translates to a more mature and refined sound overall.

I think I would have liked a bit more resolution still but overall I’m quite pleased.

Will be back with a comparison between DQ6 and T3+.

Just checked out the specs on that thing. It looks kinda awesome but at the same time pointless. It costs more than my entire desktop setup, I just can’t ever see myself being able to justify that pricetag on a portable, especially such a bulky one. The size kinda defeats the purpose, no? Also, they’re really pushing it as a desktop setup, but like I said, if you just go pure desktop you can get those features at a much lower cost. I just don’t get who this is for. Rich people who just want cool toys I guess.

People that travel can see a use case in this kind of stuff, for example: they can have a good sound without having to bring their desktop app with them.

What I don’t understand is the need of a dap instead of a portable DAC: you pay for a generally bad Android integration just to be able to get the same apps as your Android phone (streaming apps, uapp,…).

When I see the M17, I would guess the idea behind is : “what about having the Cayin C9 and a DAP together?”
Considering the success of the C9, it is a relevant approach.
if you are into IEM only, for sure the M17 is a questionable purchase.
If you want something for Headphones and IEM, it can become your all-in-one. Moreover if you move from room to room or that you want to carry it with you somewhere. It is a brick, yes, but better than a DAP + C9.

Despite my attempt to defend the “why this product exists” I will end by saying I won’t keep mine cause it is not having the little something that makes me happy to listen to it.

It might be overkill for some people but it’s an impressive piece of gear nevertheless.

Maybe combine it with an ultra budget set like say KZ Zex Pro just to trigger some people :grinning:

Why pay express to sit and wait anyway?
I don’t expect GREAT service. ( That would be dope…amiright?)
Just gimmie what I pay for.
