Thanks, much appreciated.

I'm going to figure out Axel Grell's email and ask him about this sometime.

Yeah, I'm not really sure how rin manipulated the d2ca without futzing with the vents.

ut not totally occluding the vents will effect the sound for the bass and treble?
once you covers vent at the back, ie800's bass quantity will reduce by 10db

two port at the back is helping dynamic driver to move easily. when dynamic driver runs, it moves air in both front and back of the driver. If enclosure is sealed, dynamic driver will having hard time to move because vacuumed air will against the movement of the driver. Simply, physical impedance will be increasing at the back of dynamic driver when enclosure is sealed.

Then What will happen is driver is suffering to move back and forth causing lose of extension on bass.
Also driver makes peak at the high frequency due to under damping of driver or you can say Acoustic resonance.
Acoustic Resonance can be reduced, or moved to higher FR range that is not really sensitive to human hearing. 
This is a reason why you always see air vent on dynamic driver iem.

It's not really possible to know what the "thin treble" is due to.


Rin also measured quite a bit of ringing in the treble. Can that contribute to the "thin treble" ?

There are likely more factors than just the ringing. I haven't listened to the IE800 in a while, but whilst the ringing was audible, it didn't define the treble and overall timbre.
