I'm buying the Dunu DaVinci. No doubt about it.

@@howardroark3670 can i sell mine to you?

Glad I can be helpful even where it's apparent our preferences diverge 🙏

Are you satisfied with the Chopin? I own the blessing 2 dusk currently as my main iem.

@@TurkishRambo11 I love the Chopin. It is my daily driver. I don't exactly have golden ears so take the following with a grain of salt. For me, the bass is more clearly defined and separated with the Chopin compared to the Dusk where it is a bit muddier. For me, the Dusk has a warmer tonality which does make for very easy midrange listening (vocals). In terms of treble, both are good. I say "good" because I also have a Timeless and for me the detail in the Timeless' treble is extraordinary (I was blown away listening to Hotel California for the 1st time). However, there is one area where the Chopin just beats the Dusk, hands down, and that is the comfort. The Dusk nozzles are just too big to be comfortable for long periods of time. So it is an easy decision to choose the Chopin every time. With that being said, if you already have a Dusk then I think that the Chopin might be a side-grade for you.

@@Icy_Igloo this is super helpful for my situation. Thanks so much! Knowing this I might skip the Chopin and consider the hype 4 or xenns top instead.

@@TurkishRambo11 No probs at all. Happy to help!

Those flimsy pull cables are a big no-no for me, wasted money on a kinera cable that taught me the lesson.

This is an UNDERRATED comment. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for comparisons against the Hype 4. Finally I don't need to look further 🙌🙌

And hype 4 is just slightly better

@@watdanot5076 In your opinion, what makes you think the Hype 4 is better? over the Da Vinci

@@watdanot5076 but is more expensive, makes sense

​@@watdanot5076 right. Slightly better....not $100 better

LOL, let's make it a meme.

I too, find this quite amusing.

Can't wait for your review of these! Curious to know how your impressions may differ.

Listening to a DaVinci review on your DaVinci, that's cheating 😅

@SuperReview yeah, I had just received my set yesterday! Now I am awaiting the Dusk and Hydro to be delivered!

Well I'm listening on my Hype 4. You sound amazing! 😂

Curious what you think when you've got them.

@@SuperReview Hey just a random person passing by, I have both, Dusk for me has the skull thumping bass on the DSP cable, but the DaVinci has a feeling of clarity in Vocals that Dusk doesn't have. My conclusion for me is that Dusk is great for Bass Lovers and the DaVinci is for Vocal Lovers. I love them both, also very keen for the Timeless 2 rework.

@@SuperReview I am curious what your preference would be of the IEMs mentioned in the review, if you planned on EQ’ing each to your liking?

I dont really get the "dry" treble part. Is he saying that the treble lacks resolution?

@@lokrj no, it definitely has resolution, but depending on source material, it sometimes just doesn't sound engaging (you could also say "sterile"), and if you take wine tasting terminology into account, "dry" is the opposite of "sweet".

@@lokrjnot resolution, some people have described it differently as being “recessed” like you can hear it clearly but it just sounds farther away than it should

@@FaZeTartpack i see, then i guess if you were to crank the volume up to hear those details, the already dominant bass just laughs at you for doing so

Sadly, for a lot of us, we don't have a local audio store or CanJam that let's you demo iems, dacs, cables, etc, and so we have no choice but to blind buy 😢

Likewise! 😺

A guy on RU-vid compared everything.

A guy on yt compared all of these sets

I think he goes by Atech if I remember correctly.

@@Mykeogunswhich channel?

I wanna go back in time and give EA1000 3 stars now 😅

Maybe even Hype 2!

​@@SuperReview It's never too late to update the rating on the Squig. Maybe even the title of the RU-vid video or something like that.

@@SuperReview Would you downgrade your 5 star rating on the Binary Chopin?

No plans.

@SuperReview Hopefully one day you will review! 🙏

Lol ​@@bozardo101

TBH apart from having that midrange feature in a graph, they don't really sound alike to me.

@@SuperReview wow, that’s really surprising. Is it because of the difference in the treble? Or because of the additional bass on the Davinci?

@@SuperReview doesn't chopin and dusk analog sound more different from the davinci than the mega5est?

As a newbie, i appreciate that he's easy to follow. There are some reviewers who are too abstract for me. Once reviewers start talking about spdif vs i2s vs lan, I'm lost 😅

@@radiofreealbemuth True that. Mark is one of the persons from whom I try to learn and put in more effort on my reviews as well.

Everything with the slightest amount of bass is too much lol. I'll take all that bass over here please!

​​@@someoneusa I was kidding. Super review enjoys good bass and sometimes lots of bass but it's about what the iem is trying to do.

He likes well defined textured bass, as natural as it can get w/o sounding like a home theater variations sub bass type of sound.

We've known this for some time as his preferences were shown in a gizaudio graph. If you look at his preferred target it's near flat on bass and a rise between 1k-3k before gradually lowering. His taste is anything but average and shows a clear direction with a preference for vocals and treble with an apparent dislike for bass.

​@@KaoruSugimuraAnd yet he loved the meteor and kinda lava

hexa + apple dongle

./sign

I mean it pretty gud

@@SuperReview honestly i am surprised how it can still stand on its own with others releasing their iems with dual dd setup. I was expecting it to get overshadowed with its competitors. I for one was looking forward how Davinci would fair against Canon, but seems like it is more or less nothing major.

I didn't even try the Dusk Bass+ preset, but you can check out how they compare here: squig.link/?share=Harman_Adjusted_Target,Super_22_Target,IEF_Comp_Target,Dunu_DaVinci,Moondrop_Dusk_2_S2_USB_Bass

@@SuperReview woah the Bass+ looks like it has wayyyy more base than davinci in the graph, but since you mentioned that the davinci has more bass than the graph indicated, they maybe are comparable? Anyways just wanna say your reviews have always been the most informative out of all the audio reviewers, thanks for bringing some clarity to this hobby

I haven't listened to Falcon Ultra in months, don't think I can make a strong comparison, but Squiglink should help: squig.link/?share=Harman_Adjusted_Target,Super_22_Target,IEF_Comp_Target,Dunu_Falcon_Ultra_(blue),Dunu_DaVinci

Yeah lotta people like those tips.

I'd like to know as well

Of the lot, which do you think you'd prefer? I'll bring 'em all to SoCal CanJam for the blind test :D

@@SuperReview Dusk would be my pick out of this bunch based on description, having not heard any of them yet. It might have too much bass as well, but could also be a 🎯. Seems like it would hit the spot for mids/treble/techs. RSVP’ing for a CJ demo…yup. Other pick for me could be the Origin since reviews suggest it def won’t risk overdoing the bass and possibly trade blows for everything else.

@@audio_tron what have you heard, and what do you think about their bass?

@@haomingli6175 Hi, I haven’t heard any of these yet.

i wont write long reviews abt it, list is understandable enough

🤌

Try Fiio HS18 tips on it 👀

@@SuperReviewI will I saw them on Allie express. Gonna listen to disintegration / Billie eilish new album with this set tonight 🤤🤤🤤🤤

@@SuperReviewmy set is almost new original accessories not even opened no yellowing I can’t believe found one!

@@SuperReviewis the supernova an improved iteration of this sound , or simply warmer? Well let me look at ur review again before I pay that $800 invoice

Yes.

May-bee

I prefer 3.5mm because it's more compatible -- I can go from my DAP, to my laptop, to phone dongle, etc. via 3.5mm. Balanced is a waste of time, worse volume control for IEMs, more chance of hearing noise floor, and for what? It doesn't improve sound quality.

DaVinci has stronger separation between sounds, more incisive, while Meteor is a more atmospheric sound. Generally DaVinci is a more "natural" tune, while Meteor is kinda esoteric. That said, I find Meteor pretty special sounding and don't have issues with the treble timbre, so I prefer it personally.

'Scammed' would be a more appropriate verb.

There are just a couple iems that are Harman tuned. Actually only the Nova is a typical Harman 2019. What are you even talking about?

​@@karolkedzierski5824It's pretty obvious what he's talking about. He's talking about midbass tucks, dry and thin sounding mids and keeping the bass waaaay up in the subbass region and keeping the midbass sterile in the name of separation.. That's not Harman. But you'd have to be pretty autistic to not know what he's referring to

​@karolkedzierski5824 well said

Maybe an overcompensation for the disaster the overrated Beats were 10 years ago? It's taking too long to get a good balance.

These are JVC Spiral Dots++ (small)

I found the fit on the Chopin quite tricky, I ended up using ddHiFi ST35 tips which are a narrow bore tip similar to Final E / Sony EP-EX11 but also have that SpinFit notch in the stem which allows them to rotate. I get a good seal and deep fit with these. As you probably know, usually lean smaller tip for a deeper fit.

Pace yourself, audiophilia is a marathon, not a sprint 🏃‍♂️

@@SuperReview lol yeah, I don't really have much after DaVinci tbh, probs the EM10 at some point but I really wanna own a Mest MK2, taking it slow and steady

FiiO FH7S is less than 300 these days. Midbass cannon.

@@FabioKasper Thanks for the recommendation!! I'll check it out!

Are you happy with the Origin aside from its shortage of mid bass?

@@audio_tron In my personal opinion, YES I am very happy with the Origin. If I could describe it simply is that it is CLEAN/SMOOTH. The midbass is there but I would like to have a little bit more. The treble and mid range is PHENOMINAL for it's price range. This may be a hot take, but I like it as much as the Aful Performer 8 which is also a very good IEM, but the Origin is cheaper but sounds just as good!

Canon 2 :)

@@lokrj I didn't know about them until this video, I will check them out

There are only like 3 reviewers who got that set early

This is pretty unique because it's tuned to jm1. Most IEM tunings have weird upper mids and sucked out low mids with too much 1-2k energy. This as well as dusk dsp and mega5est doesn't do this and it sounds very natural and true to life.

the davinci has the same overall basis for the tuning as the crinacle's dusk, ie, the JM1 target, or a tilted diffuse field target on the 5128. It is just that davinci has more bass and more treble; timmy prefers his iems to be more v-shaped than crinacle, in general. also remember that timmy is closely related to crinacle; timmy works for crinacle, so they must share the same knowledge base.

@obamanews2556 ​ @haomingli6175 . Interesting. Didnt expect that Giz was working for Crinacle. Is there any proof to this ...? Again, not to piss any timmy's fans or supporters, it seems timmy has been just inputting 10% effort to maximize returns, not a problem but seems .....fake-ish, try hard ?. Collabs do work, as pointed out by Crinicle and his recent video, ive no problems. However it just. feels GizA has been stiring more favourably towards the Dunu, if he is true , then the older thieaudio or other reviews seems to be in exact polar opposite [ some i do reference ,in-ear festish, audio in reviews] Im not audiophile person, but jumping from Sonys Noise cancelling xm3 to 4 , to headphones to first IEM [ KZ, yep, just testing] to Aful p5 [ 2nd hand but WORTH every penny] then to a mid-tier-end game like H4. and going through all the different existing IEM reviewers, those on the Hype4 reviews, mostly had decently put it a top tier for that price bracket, and it makes sense comparing, their review with mk3 and other higher priced or similar sounding IEM. That is consistent. But back to GizA, its just dropping ...... i apologize again, but its my own view .

@@jfox8888 i honestly don't understand what you are saying, mostly. I will respond to parts that I think I understood. timmy edits videos for crinacle. I forgot where I heard/saw this, but this is well-known in the community. timmy is not alone in preferring monarch mk ii over mk iii. a few other reviewers do the same, like jaysaudio. also timmy doesn't like dunu falcon ultra all that well. check out his ranking list. it is a b-tier with a personal enjoyment rating of 5.5 out of 10. he does like sa6mkii and sa6 ultra, but these two are also well-regarded in the community. why do you think he puts in little effort into collabs? it is standard practice in the community to not compare your own collabs with other iems. it is a conflict of interest and unfair to the other products compared to. the comparison will be left for other reviewers, like this video. this is totally justified if you are doing collabs. and I have already said, the basis of the davinci's tuning is very similar crinacle's new dusk. it is just the new meta that super review is talking about, tilted diffuse field. on top of that, timmy adds his own preference, more bass and more treble. likewise, the basis of chopin's tuning is Harman, again with a bit of adjustment to make it suit his own tastes better.

@@haomingli6175 in summary, timmy is shelling out for Dunu too much too hard, and pushing low quality video by rushing out. Better put now ? The way he has be glossing over stuff recently, skipping more well known and well recived iems from the community had me fell that way not my intent to, but that is , base from consolidating my current own IEMS , researching and listening from different reviewers.

You can get the thin cable you want in the 64Audio line up. They are quite famous and easy to buy anywhere.

Why would they?

@@SuperReview You'd think so.

I went with azla crystal which sounded fuller imo. also maybe you dont believe in cable but the stock one yes it will make the treble a bit scratchy as you described, after some cable rolling i settled on a pure silver one with pure copper 4.4 plug which makes the treble much more pleasant.

Miss you bud 🤙

Like the number of Cs in "thic," the number of Ss in "bass" indicate the degree.

@@SuperReviewI’m so glad the new meta is happening.

​@@HobbyTalkI hope you're getting a DaVinci too. I want to know what a 75ohm impedance adapter does to it. 😉

@@_-Z- I have one on the way haha so do I!

Perdón mi ignorancia, para 373 sirve el adaptador de impedancia? ​@@_-Z-

Oh it got bass.

I measured 6.5mm at the widest part (lip).

@@SuperReview thank you!!

I did not hit her

Never gets old for me

I haven't heard Titan.

Not words I used homie.
