FiiO FT7 is out

I wonder if the diaphragm is similar to the one used in XK Serene\Susvara

Quite different.

Still can't find measurements for these anywhere but maybe I'm not looking hard enough

Could be better but nothing EQ can't fix

Thanks for sharing. It looks pretty good but I'm a bit concerned about the treble. Would love to see this measured on one of the GRAS rigs, they tend to give me a better insight into how I may experience treble than 5128 does. Guess I'll have to wait til Amir gets hands on it.

There are a few measurements for these on squig.link already. They look pretty good so far.

tbh I don't trust any measurements not made by Amir mostly because the others are being made subjectivists on non standardized rigs with no protocol incentivized to present pretty looking measurements and thus are often presenting overly smoothed measurements to hide imperfections

You can trust sai.squig , Oratory, listener , hangout.audio/crinacles and resolves, they all know what they're doing and have proper equipment, if not the same as amirm (GRAAS 43AG)

Oratory's measurements are for EQ not for review, I guess I should have specified I meant within the context of reviews. The rest absolutely are as I described, presenting overly smoothed measurements to hide imperfections, some don't even post distortion measurements or present them (and frequency responses) in misleading ways. Harman's research was done on the GRAS but reviewers are increasingly talking about the B&K 5128 as being superior to the GRAS and switching to it misleading people into thinking the GRAS Harman curve is 1 to1 to their approximation of the curve on the B&K. Amir and Oratory are the only ones actually following the science

The only one who is misleading here is you.
