I gotta say, if you get the Hexa and make an EQ preset for them, then I will buy the Hexa too (even though my current IEMs are better). I'm still enjoying your TcZ EQ.

Sounds pretty complicated, how much worse were they without mods? For under $20 I'm very tempted to order them.

What kinds of mods?

Thanks for the recommendation! Do you have the $50 or $600 RE800s? I'm pretty sure they're not the same, the new ones must be cost-optimized. Very tempted to pick one up, $37 during the ongoing sale. I've had Dunu DN 1000 with a similar non-detachable cable, was worried about it, but had no...

To my surprise, DX1 does work at USB 1.1, allowing up to 96 kHz/32 bit. Note, however, that many isolators can only supply up to 1 W of power (200 mA), and DX1 is drawing 1.3 W even at idle.

Thanks! So people were not wrong to recommend S12 for technicality. Do you know a more technical IEM in this price range? And could you recommend a track (or several) that demonstrates TCZ becoming muddy? Isn't everyone underwhelmed by them?

S12 definitely, but I'm not convinces it's 2x better. That's the "problem" with TCZ - they set such a high bar for such a low price, you're hard-pressed to find an IEM that's better, and that's priced proportionally (not 10x more expensive for 2x subjective gain). I think for some people just...

After much reading and hesitation I bought Letshuoer S12 Pro for $83, and for that price, compared to TxC Zero, I think they're very good IEMs. They require no EQ (except for a bit of a low bass boost, but that's down to preference). With the currently ongoing Aliexpress sale they're probably...

Does anyone know whether DX1 will work at USB 1.1 (12 Mbps)? I want to plug it in through a USB isolator, those are USB 1.1 max.

I wanted to buy the PR2 after seeing some reviews, but then I read that there was a silent revision, allegedly the manufacturer removed some filter and now the treble is boosted by like 6 or 8 dB, basically screaming. Have you guys heard about that, is it true or are the currently sold PR2 alright?

Why compare to Zero? You have to compare them to the Hexa. Has anyone here heard both? I was going to buy the Hexa, but now I think I'll pull the trigger on the EA500. I've seen comments that EA500 have better resolution than the Hexa. Which should mean it's a lot better than Truthear Zero.

Serious question: I have the Crinnacle Truthear Zero (EQed, and I like them a lot after EQ). Should I buy the 7Hz Zero, or is my other Zero just better? Fit not a concern, only sound quality. Also, why is the $80 Hexa not on the list? They're not so good, or they just released later and didn't...

Generally I find IEMs much more comfortable than over-head phones (I used to use both types regularly, except for the last year - since getting the Zero). The only downside is that they tend to move out of the ear slightly, breaking the seal, but I don't mind adjusting them every 10 minutes or...

I've used decent equipment with HD800 - EMU 0404 USB, O2 headphone amp. I've tried EQing, they definitely do need EQ, but I couldn't nail the right curve. These were the O. G. HD800, not 800S. There are also mods that bring HD800 closer to 800S, I didn't do them.

Are you saying they sound better?
