If what I head was the reDACTed^2 -> Lyr2 (speshul sauce tubes) -> Ether, that was a great setup. I like the Ethers. Hopefully Dan will be more consistent with this set of cans... and perhaps make them more affordable (or have an affordable plebe version).
Not too impressed with the HE1K. I've told this to NoOne411 before. To splashy and bright for me. Proly preferences.
Couldn't go to dinner, but Yi Mei was awesome.
I liked the Magico Q7MK2 speakers this time around, though I felt the sweet spot was somewhat narrow.
Also, got my UE ear impressions. And indeed my ear holes are big and deep. Which my explain why many IEMs that some folks consider neutral and nice sound anemic while bassy ones sound right to me. Of the table, I like the UE 7 Pros bestest.
