Canuck Audioholics Anonymous CAA Reviews & Fun Banter

Tonight’s listen the new IBasso Audio Klee single DD
A refreshingly neutral clean IEM
And I wanted to see what a Tube amp would do to the sound chain by adding in the KAEI DESIGN Tap1 Pro into the mix and what a combo. Adds in some nice body and weight as I was hoping for.


Excited to try the Upcoming Amp16 for the DX340 when I can buy one and hope it also brings the tube magic straight out of the DAP!

Up on deck tonight a other Flagship combo

Letshuoer Cadenza 12 2025 Edition (Driver supplier change same tuning as OG)

Wicked combo with the iBasso DX340




Look at the smooth ass tuning.
This Kevlar Dynamic Driver has a different sound in a good way.

First listen no break in. So I things will change a bit.

Wait is there another Version now or did you order it specificly with the OG tuning?

Happy listening :blush::ok_hand:t2: (and finding synergies :woozy_face:)

There’s no new version as such, while in production one of the drivers used was no longer available but Letshuoer were offered another updated one that was almost but not exactly the same sonically, at this point Letshuoer was going to cease production of the C12 altogether, however later they decided to continue using the new driver. The rep I meet up with yesterday has both variants, he said A B’ing them there’s a very, very slight difference but for all intense and purposes they’re the same. I don’t know if it shows up when graphed though :man_shrugging:

Ah ok because what i heard from Joseph was that the new version with the updated drivers (2024) also got a slightly different tuning, there are a few graphs on squiglink where you can compare both.
And now there seems to be a 2025 version with the OG tuning If I understand that right!?

I had too use foams because with this set I get slight ear pressure and the foams fix it perfectly for me and sound great doing it!

Incredible looking tennis ball tips! If the shells were in any other colour these would be peng! But one thing i have learnt is comfort over looks any day.

Hey monk, I am very curious, may I ask how does the Cadenza pair with the Onyx Alpha? Yay or nay? :slight_smile:
Also, Is the DC07Pro still with you?

The Cadenza 12? , I have both dongles yes.

The C12 is slightly mids forward , and would benefit from a brighter more clinical sources, DC07 PRO is a better pairing than the Alpha for me as the C12 benefits from a treble booster.

I am 54 so maybe younger ears hear more treble than me.

Anyone care to give some advice, got a bunch of earbuds in and for the life of me can’t get a comfortable fit and get them to stay in place with or without foams on them.

Possible earbuds don’t just work for my ears?

use them with foams.

Which shell is it? MX500? Qian39? PK? Bell?

I wear them a bit diagonal.

I got some NiceHCK and some VE monks

Need specific model if you dont have a pic. They use shells from mx500, (fake) pk to bell shapes.

the pic I sent above is the yincrow x6 which is using mx500 shells.





The VE fit better for sure the NiceHCK not at all
