wow, first time I have seen dip switches actually make that noticeable changes…usually they are more gimmicky with minimal changes.

Dip 1 looking tasty. Taming those upper mids mmm looking forward to more written/video reviews. If the techs are good, might be the next set in the stable.

Hey @Rikudou_Goku , do you know what the difference is between IEC-60318-4 and IEC-711? Syncertech uses the former, and his graphs look like what I had imagined (~5 dB changes whenever a switch is turned on).
This is with all switches on:

This is with just the bass on:

Which looks quite different to HBB’s bass switch on:

You can see all the switch combos here: Обзор Yanyin Canon: просто идеальные гибридные наушники с возможностью тюнинга / Hi-Fi и цифровой звук / iXBT Live

60318-4 is just the standard itself. its not the coupler.

the IEC711 is a coupler that follows that 60318-4 standard.

Hmmm ok, in that case, I don’t know how HBB and Crin graphs look similar to each other but not to Syncertech’s. Weird…

Still confused about this too. Maybe when I get mine, I’ll send to @nymz or @Tonytex_Teixeira and ask them to measure as well. Too small a sample size to know what’s happening.

yeah, they might not be using the 711 coupler, but another 60318-4 compliant coupler…but even then it shouldnt have the opposite effect.

I thought same. It’s not just a subtle tilt to treb or what I usually see, the treb profiles are all clearly different.

yeah, the biggest changes are in the treble region, even for the bass and mid switches. Do you hear any difference with bass switch ON?

I do, or the treb is not as prominent = more bass

What does MRS stands for, in “MRS target”? It’s that a standard I wouldn’t know? Or a brand?

@hawaiibadboy are you getting your hands on the Thor Mjölnir MK2 do you think?

I crave a refined basshead DD set and I’m really hoping this will be the one.

Ah yes Mark from super*reviews! I know the channel, but didn’t do the link between him and the “MRS” word.

Getting a Collab from this guy (or only from his target?), with his particular target, will sure be interesting.

I said fuck it and ordered the Thor Mjölnir MK2. It will ship April 16th, will probably (hopefully) have it right before the end of the month.

Excited :laughing:

Hey Chris, will you try the Elysian Diva? first impressions are very good, and the price tag seems reasonable…
