At just $20, the Chu could very well be your next IEM.

On the old days I have few friends from Audiophile community, we did have a gathering in the one of the best audio store in town. They bring some of portable collections (in a big suitecase) which is literally much more expensive than my car. They really value and love the external DACs. They going with stereo only and avoid multi channels (not multidrivers).

    Rkm, 21 Jun 2022Again with the deflection when you are out of words. Stop b... moreAgain trying to change the topic. External isn't audiophile worthy. Adapter isn't an option.

      so much better than overpriced old tech SONY iem which is can't detached 🔥🔥🔥

        You said "Because external isn't the real thing. And a real audiophile goes for the real thing. Just like a musician goes for instruments and not a beat box or computer, even though it can do almost the same".

        So I repeat, why isn't is it the real thing? Why is a soundcard better than an external DAC and amp stack which uses the same DAC chip and opamp modules?
        Why do you think your nu audio pro is better than, say a topping e30/l30 stack?

              imparanoic, 21 Jun 2022Not exactly Sony does this with their ier and xba series... moreI never like how Sony sounds. BA used to manage sound level not to cut freq. For sure each driver will have its own range, however without crossover the unexpected freq will still there. Possibly these drivers have tiny crossover attached inside.

                MasEnha, 20 Jun 2022For me, multi drivers without crossover is disaster.Not exactly

                Sony does this with their ier and xba series, multiple drivers but with no cross over, they do it by tweaking the balanced armature and dynamic driver to certain frequency instead of using specific high/mid/low frequency

                  Heat Death, 20 Jun 2022NGL audiobros it's time to stop complaining in comment... moreAsus rog 5 has 3.5mm unbalanced output

                    NGL audiobros it's time to stop complaining in comments about no 3.5mm jack and instead complain with your wallet. The S10+ was the last good Samsung flagship, if you bought anything newer (see: stuff with no headphone jacks) YOU are the problem. Buy Sony phones and only Sony phones (see: good phones with headphone jacks). Also Motorola phones maybe if you don't mind the chinese affiliation, and Samsung's own A2X/5X/7X series is great. AND also wireless isn't that bad, give the AKG N400 a shot.

                        MasEnha, 20 Jun 2022For me, multi drivers without crossover is disaster.True dude. I noticed only 3 kz multidriver iems that were using the crossover board to make their drivers sound more coherent, such as KZ ZS7, KZ ES4, and KZ ZS10 non pro.

                              wow, no frequency response curve?🙄 we don't even know how many drivers this thing has

Tbh, I am easily passed the old kz multi driver iems, except the fine tuning and the coherence one like CCA NRA and KZ ZEX
