I bought one ZA3 and I felt both happy and sad - I had avoided class D like the plague till date for obvious reasons and I felt like a fool for the same. I was impressed with the clarity straight out of the box and ended up ordering one more box to use each as a mini lock for my system. The low end is good and quite defined, the upper registers definitely are good, but could be better. May try and get a couple of sparkos op amps and see if it improves it. For the money paid for biamping, it definitely sounds like a great option in lieu of AB class amps. It costs just 50% of entry level amps, but definitely offer more power and quality as compared to those amps. The QC control and build quality seems solid. And the foot print it occupies is rather small. I can look at this amps performance and say confidently that cheaper non hypex class D is here now and it’s here to stay.

Audiophile Review: Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus Paired with Sennheiser IE 900
The Sennheiser IE 900 is already a highly regarded in-ear monitor (IEM) known for its exceptional sound quality, balanced sound signature, and impressive detail retrieval. Pairing it with the Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus cable, which is designed to enhance audio performance, promises to elevate the listening experience even further. Here’s an in-depth review of this pairing, highlighting the pros and cons.
Build Quality and Design
Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus:
Premium Materials: The 8 Wire Cadmus is constructed with high-purity OCC copper, ensuring excellent conductivity and minimal signal loss.
Robust Build: The cable features a durable yet flexible design, with a high-quality sheath that protects the internal wires while maintaining flexibility.
Aesthetic Appeal: The braided design not only adds to the durability but also gives the cable a luxurious and premium look.
Sound Quality
Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus Paired with Sennheiser IE 900:
Pros:
1. Enhanced Clarity and Detail:
- The 8 Wire Cadmus significantly enhances the clarity and detail retrieval of the IE 900. Micro-details become more pronounced, and the overall resolution improves, providing a more immersive listening experience.
2. Improved Soundstage and Imaging:
- The pairing creates a wider and more expansive soundstage, allowing for better separation and placement of instruments. Imaging becomes more precise, making it easier to pinpoint the location of individual elements within the music.
3. Refined Bass Response:
- The bass becomes tighter and more controlled, with improved texture and depth. The slight bass emphasis of the IE 900 is complemented by the Cadmus cable, resulting in a more impactful and engaging low-end performance.
4. Smooth and Extended Highs:
- The treble is smooth and extended, with added sparkle and airiness. The Cadmus cable helps to mitigate any harshness or sibilance, providing a more refined and enjoyable high-frequency response.
5. Natural and Lush Mids:
- The midrange becomes more natural and lush, with enhanced vocal clarity and instrument separation. The pairing ensures that the mids remain clear and detailed without being overshadowed by the bass or treble.
Cons:
1. Price:
- The Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus is a premium cable, and its price reflects that. While it offers significant improvements in sound quality, the cost may be prohibitive for some users.
2. Stiffness:
- Due to the 8-wire construction, the cable can be slightly stiffer compared to standard cables. While it is still flexible, some users may find it less convenient for portable use.
3. Potential for Over-Analysis:
- The increased detail and resolution can sometimes lead to over-analysis of the music. Audiophiles may find themselves focusing more on the technical aspects rather than simply enjoying the music.
Conclusion
Overall Impression:
The pairing of the Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus with the Sennheiser IE 900 results in a truly remarkable listening experience. The cable enhances the already impressive sound quality of the IE 900, providing improved clarity, detail, soundstage, and overall musicality. While the price and slight stiffness of the cable may be considerations, the benefits it brings to the audio performance make it a worthwhile investment for serious audiophiles.
Recommendation:
- For Audiophiles: If you are an audiophile seeking to extract the maximum performance from your Sennheiser IE 900, the Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus is highly recommended. The enhancements in sound quality are substantial and will elevate your listening experience to new heights.
- For Casual Listeners: If you are a more casual listener, the improvements may not justify the cost. The IE 900 is already an excellent IEM, and the stock cable provides a great listening experience.
In summary, the Effect Audio 8 Wire Cadmus paired with the Sennheiser IE 900 is a match made in audiophile heaven. The combination delivers exceptional sound quality, making it a top choice for those who demand the best in their audio gear.

I am in this hobby for years and I think I have got the perfect stopping point.
Some of my previous mid fi iems include
Truthear Hexa
Etymotic ER2XR
Letshuoer S12
Kiwi Ears Quintet and many others.
BTW I consider the samsung galaxy bus 2 pro a audiophile grade mid fi IEM
My favorite among these are the Quintets followed by the Samsung buds and then the etys
The Quintets had a few flaws namely they can sometimes be sibilant with poorly recorded music, most of not so famous JPop artists and it has a recessed mid bass so kick drums and stuff were not that satisfying but in terms of detail retrieval, staging and imaging it was top notch.
The pilgrim fixes all the negatives and retains the positives of the Quintets.
My only issue with the pilgrim is that the chrome finish is chipping off within a few minutes otherwise I love them. Oh and it has a big fat nozzle 5.9 mm to be exact and so I had to tip roll quite a bit and settled on the Final E tips.
Now lets come to the sound qualities:
Bass : The bass is amongst the best I have heard till date. It has good physicality and the rumble and growl is just unreal. Bass details shines through and has a very natural feel to it. It is a sublime experience.
Vocals: To me personally it feels a bit recessed, but it is also quite natural and hardly gets sibilant or honky. Both male and female vocals sound natural and carry good weight to them. Its not enough to make you cry or pierce your soul. The Quintets and the galaxy buds are much more vocal forward than Pilgrim. But I find the pilgrim more natural and enjoyable.
Treble: They are bright but not harsh. For me this is the perfect amount of treble to bring out micro details and nuances in the treble without being too fatiguing or distracting. I miss the splash of the cymbals from the quintet sometimes but again they can border on the line of too bright sometimes
Soundstage: its good enough. Its above average and can sound open or boxy depending on the music that you are playing.
Imaging and separation: its great. You can hear every instrument and pinpoint then and every instrument feels really tactile. Like you can feel the instruments being plucked or hit or blown into. It feels surreal sometimes.
I played the mountains track by Hans Zimmer and every time the organs started playing I got goosebumps these are that good.
Everyone has their own music preferences and for me these are just perfect. In terms of details, resolution and dynamics, I personally don't think you can get anything better under 80k or 1L.
You have to get the fit right to enjoy these to the fullest so you have to tip roll a bit. For my case final E tips worked the best.
Thanks to the team for helping me out with my request. I thought that these will sell out like hot cakes and to think that my review will be the first here is unbelievable🥲

Just ordered this DAC and got it in 2 days.
Worth it. Had great experience. Worked well with my laptop and Samsung phone.
Though I had to do some adjustments with equaliser and music player modes, finally I got what I expected. Def recommended.
Also good that they added an indicator for it to show that it works.
Value for money. 10/10.

It typically sounds less warm nd less bright compared to EW200. It sounds rich nd very clean overall. Technically also it's a very good set balancing analytical nd musical. There is a noticeable mid bass presence which doesn't make u feel sounded boring. It scales well with different dongle DACs I own. Treble, mids, lows, soundstage nd imaging are very well done. It doesn't feel congested. It portrays different venues precisely.
Overall it's a worth upgrade to my EW200 nd other budget IEMs I own. No regrets. Very much satisfied with the product.
