You just need to click on the pin icon to pin the first iem, then you can click on another iem to graph with both and then pin the second one to pin a third and so on.

This is a great point.

I’d add people easily spend too much on dac/amp, rather than upgrading their IEMs. It’s an eternal point of contention in personal audio, how the cash should be distributed in a system, but I’d suggest a simple heuristic like:

Dac+amp should cost less than the maximum of $20 and your IEM cost divided by 2 (to be generous).

Just pulling these numbers out of thin air but you get the idea. Dac+amp << IEM.

It’s easy to end up buying a couple different dongles rather than just saving up and buying IEMs that are in a higher performance bracket, speaking from personal experience :sweat_smile:

So, that tip box is actually a 3d print that someone posted online and my buddy (who has an Etsy 3d print store) helped me.

Here’s the schematic and details.

If you need someone to print one for you and you’re in the US, I can probably have my buddy do it for you. Let me know.

That 6k scoop – coupler artifact (thought those were at 8k) or YIKES?

In my eyes, that 6k scoop mated with the ensuing treble peak is pretty nasty looking.

I’m trying out cables go to with the Estrella and I think this combo works from a fun perspective.

Does not look like a coupler issue.

This is why I’ve bitched about Noir being $700. So tone deaf (and not the monk)

You dont like the Tea 2?

?

Tea 2 is good, Noir is also good but just overpriced lol

They sound different, Noir is more resolving/cleaner mid-bass, Tea is more vocal forward and heavier slam, both scale very nice
