Exactly get some traction , learn and move on. Important thing is the Butastur is out and time will float the good stuff to the top.
Appreciate the efforts could not have been easy so thank you.

Whenever something looks like it might pop off a buncha brands jump in. I expect by 11/11 there will be more sets using haptic drivers

Whoah.
Now, that’s what I’d call a stalemate.

Oh so this is the isobaric bass set with a BA and Est right?
Still have that Mid Bass tuck do they sound that way or the drivers are speedy enough to pull it off?

Really curious to hear if it is as “polite” in the bass as the MMK2. Hoping it has more oomph

Think my bias/b.s. for 2DD is making me think it hits nicer than 1 DD MKII.

why bias , can’t you ab them and tell if the double dd makes difference?

I did and it sounds like Hype 2 hits harder.
But an amplitude scale says they are empasizing 50-200Hz the same
But like 3 10 inch subs v.s. 1 10 inch driver…there is more than graphs and SPL meters to all this

You can have our best DAP if you pay an extra $8000 for the bundled earphones…or else you get an inferior variant … and that’s all their is to it.

Mkii is polite in the bass !!! Jeez there must be something wrong with my hearing!
Want to hear the N30, but I also want to hear it in its best form if I’m going to drop that sort of cash, and absolutely not interested in the iem lol. Really irritating to see them do this. Especially how they didn’t make that clear up front.
Also sort of disappointed to see them not utilize some of their more interesting digital sections and instead opt for something more traditional. In the end doesn’t really matter if the final sq is there, but would have liked to see their 1 bit r2r implemented here that impressed me in the n7 and ru7.
Nail in the coffin for me aside from the dumb iem bundle is that I’m not really sold on the featureset cayin offers with their daps. Tired of the trend of offering all the different modes like the tubes or solid state or a vs ab mode and so on where there’s many unnecessary and redundant either components or options. Sure you get a bit more versatility, but it’s not like it truly makes it sound like a different dap or unlocks some new level of synergy tbh. I’d really prefer mfg to pick a sound/circuit and put everything into it, so it does the one thing it’s designed for really really well, instead of multiple different sounds good but not great. Tends to be better value that way as well tbh
