Test Equipment: iBasso DX340, U18T(M12)
This is the first listen of a new AüR prototype.
No comparison. Blind listening.
- Sounds very good.
- Sounds better than Midas.
- Lacking magic sauce of TOTL tier.
- SPCish type of sound
- Not in same tier as EOH3
- Treble is present in spades. But rendition like note decay is not at Wabisabi level. I am guessing does not contain precious metals.
- Upper mids not pushed forward. Good for sensitive people
- Bass is present, but not boosted like “Flying Horse”
- Stage is wide in IEM terms. But not spacious. If your IEM and source have staging. It will be rendered.
- Imaging is good, inline for this class.
- Clarity is inline for this class.
- Overall a very balanced cable. Does not appear to recess any frequency, or boost it into distraction. Does not tilt warm or bright.
- Another great mid-range contender if the price is right.
- Not for people who want frequency boost. E.g. Warm, mid range.
- This cable is very good if you don’t want colour.
- Using with sterile sources might end dry.

Using the PW cable. Bright Bass is on the mid bass side of things. Relatively airy presentation. A more clinical IEM. Quite fatiguing. A lot of upper register energies.
