DITA Gold and Brass IEMs brief review and comparison - Rudi0504

During my visit to Singapore Can Jam, 20th and 21st February, 2016 there was so much awesome audio gear to see and try.

One of the most interesting IEMs was the DITA DBspoke Brass, limited to 20 units world wide.
Luckily I visited one day earlier and I met Desmond and Wong Kuan Wae at the E1 shop.
In E1 Shop I met many other friends like Christopher Lee, and his friends from Macau.

At night Desmond of DITA brought me to the high end Japan Bar D.Bespoke.
At the end of the night myself and Christopher Lee bought 2 DITA Brass D.Bspoke Brass LE.

Now it is time to write a mini review after I burned in My DITA D.Bspoke Brass LE for about 70 hours.
I have compared it with my DITA Gold TRRS Japan Edition too.

AK 100 MK II Blue Japan LE

DAC / Amp:
Chord MoJo

IEMs:
DITA Gold balanced TRRS Japan edition.
DITA D.Bspoke Brass LE of 20 units.

Ergonomic:
DITA IEMs are famous for having a very good ergonomic, that means I can use them for sleeping and they are very comfortable to use.

DITA Brass housing is heavier than DITA Gold edition, but still very comfortable to wear.

Cable:
Both DITA Gold and DITA Brass D.Bspoke use the same Silver cable.

Sound quality.
Highs:
DITA gold is smoother and rich of detail.
DITA brass is more open and has better micro details.
Both are open sounding and rich in detail and both have very good high presentation.

Mids:
DITA Gold is smoother.
DITA Brass has better weight and has better pronounce.

Bass:
DITA Gold has very good bass impact and detail.
DITA Brass has better bass body and better bass speed and better bass clarity

Separation:
Both have  great separation.
DITA Brass has slightly better separation.

Soundstage:
DITA Gold has width and has a good depth, like in small concert hall.
DITA Brass has taller soundstage, I feel like in medium concert hall.

Background:
Both have black background.

Overall:
My preference is open and detail, good bass impact, fast bass speed and very sweet and clear mids.
On both DITAs I found all my sound quality preferences.

Note:
DITA during Singapore Can Jam had demo units from their new Variant DITA Brass LE of 100 pcs using a Copper cable.
DITA Brass Copper cable sounds more open than these two DITAs that I have
I cannot wait until May 2016.

Echobox X1 impressions review - Rudi0504

http://www.echoboxaudio.com/

Thank you to Echobox for sending me the Finder X1 as a review unit

-Rudi0504

My first initial out the box impressions were very positive. I immediately noticed the clarity and detail.
I let it burn in for more than 100 hours prior to the writing of this review.

The Echobox X1 comes with three screw on filters.

Source:
Astell and Kern AK 240 ss.
Lotoo Paw Gold.

IEM:
Echobox Finder X1.

With using these two high end Daps I lenjoyed listening to the Echo box Finder X1.
The Echobox Finder X1 does need proper Daps with power and speed to achieve their full potential. Yet they also pair down well with more lower end sources.

Highs:
Very crisp and has very good micro detail.
It has good presentation and great rendering.

Mids:
It is clear and has very good pronounce.

Bass:
I like the bass reproduction from Echobox Finder X1.
It is good in detail and has fast and clean sounding Bass.

Separation:
I can  easily hear the individual instruments placement.

Soundstage:
Is wide and has a nice depth from so small driver.

Build quality:
Is very good, solid, strong and well manufactured.

The ergonomic:
It is like my ex home tweeter from B&W from UK.

Overall :
I like it the sound quality from my Echo box Finder X1 in terms:
High:
Micro detail
Clarity
Extended
Very clean
Mid:
Very clear mids
Bass:
Very good bass impact and very clean too.

I like to use the white Filter - it matches my music preference.

For users who like open and detail sounding IEMs the Echobox Finder X1 is  a great choice.

I like it very much, from such a small housing there is produced wonderful sound.
I can use it at night for sleeping, the fit is excellent.
For somebody who likes a warm and analog sound maybe the Echobox Finder X1 is too bright.

I choose two Daps Ak 240 ss and lotoo Paw Gold for pairing with the Finder X1, it was an excellent match.

The other entry level daps
Which can make very good sound Are:
XDuoo X2 and X3
Ak 100 mk 1 and mk2
Cowon Plenue D.
