        Too each their own, though I thought Aroma Jewel was a product regulated by the FDA.

        I enjoy Shanling tuning and I m sure it must be a musical DAP but the price though…..

      Am breaking in new Shanling 24/7 for a week. M6 Pro 21 has a much different more neutral sound than M8. First Time also arrived yesterday.

        Say more say more... Is the M8 v-shaped? Is the M8 or laid back in the highs?

      I am really happy with Satin Audio cables. Much less expensive and made in Vietnam.

        i'm really curious if anyone has distortion graphs of timeless. i swear the kato is noticeably "cleaner" in the space between instruments, even though timeless has excellent response and quality. maybe a bit more air than kato, but by gosh kato sounds cleaner to me. reminds me of the low level detail retrieval of er4s. just a darker response having a bit more bass...

        Here’s a great cheaper cable you might want to try. You can get it without angled MCXX connectors and with an ear hook if you ask. It’s a bit thicker than stock iem cables but it’s super flexible so it doesn’t matter. This cable sounds as good as 400$ OCC full size headphone cables.
