Moondrop Quark is BACK! Behold Quark 2! 

🙏

Same 😎

Just visuals. Thanks!

Yes it is good for Metal. But I would use Tanchjim ZERO more over this one for Metal

Thanks to you too!

That was Old Town Coffee special Hand toss Wantan Noodle (dry), amazing taste 😅

Glad you enjoyed it! and Thanks!!

Thank you!. No I haven't tried Hype 10 yet

Not a problem, tons of people doing that including me, all the time

​@@donglemadnessthanks a lot for the info

I'm gonna need me a Moondrop ODO

🖖🏻

🤘🏼

Thanks! I do have plan to try FH19 of course, but I don't know when. You have a great day too!

I have no idea, I have stopped using Apple since 2021

Should be

Cheap DAP

@@donglemadness below 300rm got boss?2nd pn ok

Thanks!

🤣

Like every other 6mm 'iem', it's not actually open back

It's closed

Yes I do feel that A5000 resolves a bit better than B3

No, FC6 is not equipped with Class A amp. The only dongles that has Class A would be CEntrance DACport HD and Apogee Groove

Thanks. For bullet type the best for me is of course Etymotic ER2XR, but that one is not really comfortable. Then there's Tanchjim ZERO of course

@@donglemadness Thanks Andy for your advice

I have several bullet IEMs. The most comfortable in my collection are KBear Little Q and Final Audio E3000. The Little Q sounds fine for a cheap earphone, the E3000 has a rich sound with not enough treble. In terms of sound quality, my favourites are the Final E4000 and E5000, they are heavier with stiffer cables than the E3000 (more so the E5000), but they are still very comfortable. The E4000 has a neutral bass/midrange balance with good separation and layering , the treble is better than the E3000 but still lacks extension. E4000 is close in sound quality to the ER2XR in my opinion, I find the Etymotic is really bad for my ears if I walk around wearing them, so I rarely use them. The E5000 is a 'better E3000', more resolution and treble sparkle,, it is my favourite (for jazz music especially) but I don't think it is really worth the price increase over the E4000. I should also mention the KZ Linglong, it sounds great for the price, but I never use them because I like to wrap the cables over my ears, doing this cuts microphonics on all these earphones, however the Linglong cable is too stiff, you need to wear them with the cable hanging down.

@@Grrrr3FKAGrrrrGrrrrGrrrr Thanks for this complete "review"!..I was curious about three models of Final Audio. I'm a bit treble sensitive so may be the E5000 would be a better choice compared to the E4000 (or the E4000 is more warm-neutral than bright neutral?)

@@totorokitano I think the E4000 would be fine for a treble-sensitive person. None of the Final E-series earphones have extended treble. The E4000 has a more dry tonality across the frequency range compared to the E5000. The E5000 has more sparkle in the treble, more richness in the midrange and weight in the bass, I think it is great for acoustic music and classic rock because it brings out the timbre of instruments. The E4000 is better at revealing the technical details of recordings like stereo effects and overdubs, bass does not bleed into the midrange (which can happen with the E5000), I prefer the E4000 with electronic music and modern pop and rock.

R4? no it is pointless to attach it to R4 or any other DAP because what Quark 2 will do, because it is permanently attached to a dongle, all audio processing will be done by Quark 2 dongle, no audio processing from DA to Analog from the DAP (which beats the purpose of a dedicated DAP). So any EQ or will not work in this instance. With DAPs, you look for normal IEMs with normal plugs

@@donglemadness Yes you are right. I faced the same with Fiio JD1 iem. I couldn't customize EQ with my Samsung Type C out. So I returned. I was waiting for Q2 and of-course your review too. Thanks a lot Andy.

Even with the original Quarks I don't hear any pinna glare in the upper mids, definitely not harsh at all, this Quark 2 is not harsh with the upper range as mentioned in this video

@@donglemadness Noted, thank you so much!

Tanchjim ZERO
