“To improve performance, we designed the Evo with a high-end Estron cable.
The Linum BaX T2™ reduces microphonics thanks to being extremely lightweight, while maintaining reliability and durability.”
I am just kinda hoping the performance they are talking about is the reduced microphonics, durability, and reliability. Though it is a super thin cable and a weird uncommon standard for the connector with expensive replacement cables… so Ety being Ety.
I have used mmcx to 2 pin and 2 pin to mmcx adapters before and really don’t like using them if I don’t have to. They tend to mess with the cable fitment since they add a decent amount of length to the connector. It is an imperfect solution at best.
Since he got a lot of different graphs that other people dont have. I figured I should add them into my own squig as a temporary solution until he gets his own squig db.
Do be aware that you should take these graphs with a grain of salt due to different measuring setups and other factors like that.
If you love bass, warm and relaxed tonality, I highly recommend this. Otherwise you might want to stay away from it.
Heavily considering the AH-D1200 now…
After using the Q3 Dac for 3 days, it feels like my FD5 is almost an entirely new IEM. I did not expect the sound to be so much better. Vocals are much more lush now. Soundstage is wider and much better instrument seperation. To put things in perspective, I’m coming from my Sony A55. I guess the FD5 really does benefit with better sound chips. I’m really curious how it sounds in more expensive dacs now, but I’m happy with what I have currently since this is my first DAC!
I thought I share my FFXIV soundtrack playlist here as well! Listening to FFXIV’s version of “Vamo” alla Flamenco" is quite the highlight. Now when I use the Q3 dac, during “Shadowbringers” at the 3:41 mark, I could hear guitar riffs on the left channel that I couldn’t hear before on my FD5. “Storm of Blood” is also another highlight! Do try listening to them with your own IEMs and Headphones!
If it makes you happy, don’t go all in. Dimishing returns hit hard and Q3 is a very fine piece of equipment With that said, do what I’m telling you, not what I do >_> still keeping an eye on that Xduoo XD-05 Balanced
