How is your NAS journey coming along? Can you play DSD files over upnp from the NAS?
Agree - I picked these up frankly just looking for something new to build my tip farm, and was nervous that I was going to end up disliking them because I rarely want to enhance treble, lol - but I ended up feeling confused, then increasingly pleased, as they worked so well with some v-shaped sets, in contrast to common wisdom.
I find they also seat quite well for me, making insertion less fiddly, so they are a pleasure to use in the office where I have to take (unwanted but necessary) breaks more frequently than in my other listening contexts. 
haha, good damn it. their names are so damn confusing for me lol.
I just ordered it and they havent send it yet, ETA is 2 weeks. Will be a long time before I can set anything up for music as I need to move probably 8tb of files over to it first and set things up properly. Im also gonna have to use a wifi connection on the NAS (and my PC) so…
Yeah, a pleasant surprise

@Rikudou_Goku I have to strongly agree with you glowing analysis of the CCA CRA. Compared to the VK4 it always struck me as a little too V-shaped, but … I just threw some SednaEarfit Crystal TWS tips on there, which completely exposes the tip of the nozzle and lets me get a deeper insertion. And man, these blow the VK4 out of the water. Treble is still a little prominent, but not obnoxiously so, and it’s very realistic sounding, just a little forward in the mix.

Thanks. But do be aware that the CRA has had a stealth revision sometime after my review, so it is not appliceable now.
(S2 = stealth revision)

Yeah. I’ve had the CRA for a long time (pre revision). Maybe I should have stocked up on it like I did the OG VK4.

ugh, wtf
I mean, I get that these stealth retunes happen, seemingly bc “cost savings” – but why do that? Those two graphs seem like two different products, not a corner-cutting version of a puffed up review copy

It’s especially weird when the OG has a phenomenal tuning that bucks the usual trend. I have s hard time finding better at much, much higher cost.
I wonder if anyone has new old stock OG CRAs…

Yeah I have no clue what they are thinking…they turned the CRA from a one of a kind into “just another KZ”…

“By George, I think you’ve got it” - that’s probably exactly what they were thinking

I dont have any interest in modding it nor do I have time sorry.
It’s OK! Thanks anyway 
Mp145 impressive iem…BEST under 500?
I do not have many iems over 300 usd, let alone the newer ones so I do not know. It is one of my favorites though.
@Rikudou_Goku I tried the 500 tuning filter on the CRA along with some low density foam I had lying around.
