The DAC sounds exactly as I imagined it would. Extremely transparent.
But the cable is very flimsy.
Does anyone know where I can get a cheap alternative?
Ultimately, I don't have a better explanation.
And I just accept it as a given.
I use the best measurement results/presets that we have, and transfer them to the corresponding in-ears. But the journey doesn't end here. Because, as I said, I notice differences, which I then evaluate.
That's the difference between theory and practice.
There are many members, especially in the ASR, who are of the opinion, that once we've talked about the FR and distortion, everything has been said.

For me personally, the new measurements with the 4620 are nothing less than a milestone!
The presets that were created based on the measurements with the 711 ,never worked properly for me. They were too v-shaped.
The ones that were created based on the 4620 are a revelation. The tonality is...
Yesterday I compared the Zero 2 with the Blessing 3.
The JVC FX9 were used as tips.
Both IEMs were set to Crinacle's 4620 preset.
It was a short fight.
In my opinion, the Blessing 3 doesn't stand a chance. The bass in particular seems much more detached and at the same time, more energetic...
