NOT ANOTHER COLLAB BUT Moondrop X Crinacle Dusk 

I think that these will be very competitive then as well. The Micro Planars used the the Treble section does make these quite special.

Yes

Most definitely, Yes.

Oh I have some cable that just came in! Depending on my mode, I like the Vortex Cable Minera with the Dusk if I want clarity to be the priority. Occasionally I swap them out with the Vortex Cable Alida which has a warmer charecter and gives more body. In terms of eartips, I think the Divinus Velvets would be an upgrade but I personally like the Azla Earfit Lights on these as they preserve a lot of the effortless high-end energy.

@@SuperChonk Thank you. I'm seriously considering the Dusk as a splurge. I don't think I'd like the DSP cable, but between Timmy's EQ to get the Default DSP via analog PEQ and your tips regarding cable and eat tips, I might find them to be just about right. Thanks again.

Of I did listen to the N3Ultra for quite a while recently. It has the glorious tube sound where it is organic and a little more mid centric. I rather like it except tht this sort of sound isn't as versatile as I'd like but for voices it is divine.

I think what the Dusk can offer you is a new way of Treble rendering. It is similar to that of an EST where it is just effortless. So that can be quite interesting.

@@SuperChonk oh, ok. Thank you for the reply..

It is more relaxed in the upper mids compared to the Tanchjim with a tighter bass response.

I would say that the EA1000 is slightly weaker compared to the dusk as I feel that the Dusk renders music more effortlessly compared to it as well.

@@SuperChonk thanks for answering my questions boss . what about the technicalities ? like sound separation, depth \ height,width vs ea1000 \ origin?

@@SuperChonk also I am talking about the dsp version fyi 😅 how much better is that technically vs non dsp , vs origin ,vs ea1000

Its a chubby boy.

Apparently crin ask them to improve QC processes so this shouldn't happen as much going forward.

@@hpwrotethis did moondrop confirm? e.g., if crin tells them to improve QC, then tells us that before moondrop confirms, then crin is tricking us to buy it. i could get screwed if moondrop actually didnt confirm. moondrop has to officially acknowledge defect and exchange/refund all units. if moondrop didn't do that at the time crin told us that message, then crin is essentially tricking us to keep buying. so, most important for me is whether moondrop said anything because if it's only crin, then it's a trap. only moondrop's statement is important cause anything else will screw us over.

Agree. Until its clearly dealt with, why would you spend the money?

Yup, blind gamble, not worth 😑

​@@Viewer13128Meanwhile - Waiting for my moondrop discdream cd player that I pre-order since November. This is fine

Woops you are right I mentioned planar twice. Will add a correction.

Yeah the issue with the DSP cable is that the Type C port on its own does not provide enough juice for the Dusk. I found it to be serviceable if not a little muted in dynamics and loved it more when using a proper dongle or dap.

Completely agree. they come up with some rather random stuff these days.

I doubt it

Lol, low bar

I tried both personally Dusk edges out Davinci just slightly for me.

@@SuperChonk Interesting! Can't wait for DaVinci to come out so I can decide which to get. Recently got Origins and looking forwards to a hybrid set in midfi endgame.

@@deparoo You won't go wrong with either. The Davinci sports a suppressed 2k/3k as well. Both Dusk and Davinci will be quite different/relaxed compared to the Origin :)

@@SuperChonk Thank You! Good to know, I tried to sleep with Origins one time,Couldn't. LOL

@@SuperChonk is this due to Singapore vs Japan ;)

Dude. I think I can actually pull that off. hahahahaha

That's up for the individual consumer to decide.

​@@Lost1ntheSauc3that means no.

Nope

@@SuperEnforcer88 No, it means you, the individual consumer, isn't willing to pay for it, because you think iems grow on trees.

@@Lost1ntheSauc3 no, It means If something has a just price, people like me desire to buy It.

Dusk for me.

Dusk Sux

What are the QC issues noted so far in dusk?
