Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews (A Million views?) Part 3/4

Now you know why I was telling some people to hold off on Fugaku until next gen MEMS drivers are out. But some liked it a lot as it is though :slight_smile:

The face to face DD and MEMS are more caution inducing than price. AP/Cayin was $13k iirc? Totally satisfied.
The 2 best Thie IMO both are 1DD
Pestige LTD
ORIGIN
:thinking:

The DSP Dusk is probably best executed 2DD but it falls apart overall without a Android tehered cable.
'll wait for next gen MEMS and a 110mm DD

Who knew Iā€™d be coming here for the Skip-it references and for posts that make my spending habits seem reasonable? Thatā€™s not what I had envisioned when I clickedā€¦ :joy:

110 mm DD might be hard to fit in IEMs :joy:

But yeah I suspect weā€™ll see a lot of new MEMS drivers in IEMs real soon.

Yeah I am weak, I couldnā€™t resist pre ordering one. It is far from perfect and the usage of it isnā€™t ideal but I was in love with the sound. The graph definitely makes it look shouty and Iā€™d say it can sound like that but it doesnā€™t quite feel that way in ear thanks to its ridiculous bass quality and overall dynamics. Itā€™s such a bouncy sounding IEM, it made music ā€œmoveā€ unlike anything else. The wait is on!

What is the wait time? Says Sept/Oct on Musictek but Dec at e earphone. Would be nice if JP got 1st serve from a Japanese company :bust_in_silhouette:

I just scooped these this week (got them Monday night), for some reason Letshuoer was selling them brand new & sealed on eBay for $199 and they shipped fulfilled by Amazon haha. GREAT all-rounder thatā€™s non-fatiguing but isnā€™t lacking anywhere in the mids or treble IMO. I think the midbass may be a tad light for what most people are used to, but the texture of the bass is great with that Bery DD to my ears. I think (from early listening) it feels like a Softears Studio 4 with a DD for the lowend, which at this pricepoint is fantastic!

Yeah, I saw graph after 3 days (not mine, I never measured) Pretty much imagined correct except midbass. It has plenty for my library. Really well done set that kinda went under the radar

I think it got overshadowed by its big brother the Cadenza 12, as well as the constant releases. For sure one to keep eyes on for 11.11 (or other future sales) if anyone is looking for a neutral-ish hybrid that does no wrong IMO.

Musicteck is getting 5 units in about 2 weeks and afaik theyā€™re all sold already. My ETA is early December, but Iā€™m hoping somehow that changes haha.

Totally agree with you on these and on the slight lack in the mid bass. Bit it makes for a clean sound that versatile.

It was release around the time of DaVinci I believe which didnā€™t help.

Thatā€™s on the sellers I guess and reviewers.
Sellers sent Davinci to everyone and saturated market
Letshuoer needs a better network and should fire a few people.
