    How does the Aladdin compare to the Blessing 2 or Dusk?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Рік тому +2

      I haven't heard the Dusk.
      Comparing the Aladdin and B2 is interesting. The B2 is more detailed and resolved , has a leaner overall presentation, and is more forward and expressive. The Aladdin has more bass impact, thicker note weight and is more natural in presenting mids and treble.

    How does the Yanyin Aladin compare with the Thieaudio Elixr?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Рік тому +3

      Very interesting comparision that is more similar than might be thought. The Elixir has a touch more bass impact, slightly more forward mids and touch more treble energy. Tone and timbre are similar but the Elixir edges out slightly with a tad more natural sound. Detail retrieval and resolution are pretty much neck and neck. The Aladdin has a little wider stage with a little more depth and layering.

    how would you compare it to kato? based on your review it is similar sound signature to kato?

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  Рік тому +2

      Kato is a little more forward and energetic in the mids and treble, has similar tone and timbre, detail retrieval and resolution are slightly better on Aladdin. Very close comparison, comes down to preference.

    i heard its clear and sweet for instruments (musical, smooth jazz, flute like expression), would you know something that fares better at that? :)

    • @TheHonestAudiophile
      @TheHonestAudiophile  11 місяців тому +2

      For it's price point it is a solid performer. For an upgrade there is the Moondrop Blessing 3, Xenns Mangird Tea 2, Xenns Mangird Top. For a slightly more neutral tuning there is the JQ 4U Pro, Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite.
