Awesome video and 2024 recap. There's a reason your channel has grown so much in 2024 and will continue to do so: the quality and thoroughness of the reviews. You are one of my favorite sources of audio information. Happy New Year and may 2025 bring you great happiness and joy
Some time ago I was recommended your video of the fiio FA19, I saw it and I didn't hesitate to subscribe, I like your style, I keep watching all your videos here. I'm still watching all your videos here and I'll keep on watching them.
@@AndyAudioVaultdo you have any dongle dac that come into your mind when pairing with fiio fa19? I'm thinking of KA17 cause I mostly listen to more modern not classical music, however, I want to hear your opinions.
I got the S12 2024 a few weeks ago. I’ve learned to never say “end game” but this gets very close. As long as you give them plenty of power, they’re sublime yet dynamic and clear.
lost track of how many iems, dacs, amps i have now. but i look forward to using my xd05t+nightingale every night, they're my favorite too. thank you Andy 👌🏼😌
Thanks for offering us such good content Andy, now I am even happier because your videos will be in Spanish which is my native language, greetings from Mexico.
Thank you very much Andy for your videos and content. It was a good year watching you with your precise descriptions and personal tastes. Happy new year and all the best for 2025 🎉
Already hd an eye on rose technics star city 5 pro and i ordered based on ur review & ranking. Also saw ur video with rose technics founder which impressed me with d way they make their iems.😊❤ Happy new year Andy🎉
Thank you Andy, to sound devices reviews. Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia. What you like in sound, I like too. You helped me make choise for my new dongle. I bought onix alpha. It's very warm and nice sound for my fostex 40. Thank you again
The S12 2024 is wonderful agreed but my fav, like your Nightingale, is Kotori Zephyr. Immersion in music. Thanks for all the great 24 year reviews Andy.
Happy new year 🥂, your channel it’s becoming one of my audio references and f### it , I just order the Fiio FT1 , I feel a little tired of listening IEMs lately and FT1 is a perfect match for my R7
Andy thanks for the video, thanks to you I bought some good stuff onix alpha, tanchjim origin and especially s12 24 it's the best I've had in years, your videos were crucial. Thanks and happy new year.

Happy New Year Andy. I hope you have a great year ahead! I've always appreciated your attention to the budget realm of tech in this field. I got the ODO on your recommendation and have thoroughly enjoyed it! I recently bought the Kiwi Ears Allegra Mini because l planned on getting a planar ( budget of course 😊) and wanted the balanced output for that. I got the KZ PRX's and with a Tripowen Zonie cable, I've been loving the sound. Looking forward to all you have to offer going forward into 2025. And just have to say that l really appreciate the genuine passion you have for music that comes through in your videos 😃
The gears you used to shoot this amazing video are really magnificent and top notch bro. Superb and amazing video quality. Those are My dream gears from Camera to lenses.As always, thank You for the contents and really glad your underrated channel is slowly gaining popularity now. Kudos and Happy New Year. 🥳🥳
Thanks so very much for the kind words. I give everything to make my channel as good as it can be. Happy New Year 2025 to you and your family. Here's for an amazing year ahead! 🎉🙏
Hello Andy. Any word from xDuoo on the tube replacement for their dac yet? Congratulations on your subscriber count. Happy New Year! Excellent work! Keep your videos coming.
Happy New Year! And thank you for all your excellent reviews. I got the Onix Alpha dac dongle and love it. I sold much of the rest of my audio equipment including excellent Sennheiser ie600, the enjoyable Dunu Davinci, the Pilgrims which left me uninspired and a few others to make space for 2025. The only iem I couldn't bring myself to part with is the Simgot EA500lm which draws me in every I listen to it, amazing value. I found I wasn't using larger DAPs and I ended up with an excellent A&K sr35. I sold my headphones except for the Edifier stax spirit s3, great sound but terrible software and disappointing hardware (which means I can't sell it, I have to insert & remove a 3.5mm cable to turn it off! A big surprise for me d the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 with my Sony Xperia 1 vi. With lossless music they sound great together.
Hello. Your reviews are very helpful. Please clarify, if you choose between cadenze 4 and Origin, which will better convey the feeling of the live presence of the choir? What is preferable for live concerts (fusion jazz, gipcy jazz, bluez, classic)? Is it the right choice or look at something else? Budget up to $350
Kz sets are hit or miss in QC. I bought KZ EDC PRO in the Christmas sale, got a set with channel imbalance😢. Requested for replacement, let's see if the new set is good.
Happy New Year Andy ! 🎉 Hope you'll enjoy 2025 ! I see that you always come back to your Sivga Nightingale, on my side the iem who have the same effect on me is my Kotori Audio Zephyr. I love his kind of neutrality, natural timbre and cohesive sound signature. When i use them, i can spend hours just enjoying my music. Not an Harman type of sound, maybe what's why i appreciate them so much. Maybe you will have the opportunity to test them?
Would you say the Hydro is good for metal music? How is speed and separation during busy tracks? Clarity and soundstage? Thanks alot man, you're the reviewer I relate to the most!
@AndyAudioVault That's great. I find extreme metal music is one of the hardest things to make sound good, as there's so much going on, but if something does do extreme metal genres good, then I know it'll do good on many other genres too. I think I will get the Hydro and the i5. Thanks again!
I have the VE ODO, Colorfly cda-m1p, iBasso DC04pro and Onix Alpha. Onix is clearly the best, Beats the Colorfly at it's forte of being organic sounding. DC04 pro comes second, then Colorfly, Then ODO which is too analiytical for me. I did a comparison for PRaT with energetic dance music (Lola's Theme by the Shapeshifters) I didn't want to move my feet with the Odo or the Colorfly (disappointingly) but the DC04pro was absolutely excellent for PRaT very rythmical, but the Onix was even better, from the very good exact PRaT of the iBasso it added a flowing quality to it which made it sound so effortless. Amazing! Happy New Year Andy!
@@NameLess-lk2qu don't underestimate yourself, it isn't science. Just be open to the music, don't analyze but feel and it is obvious, you can then analyze what you felt, that doesn't matter as it doesn't interfere with the experience. I gave my odo to a girl and that earned me a grateful smile, so that was totally worth it.
@@D1N02I agree with you. Cda-m1p to my ears is not consistent in its tuning when playing PCM or DSD. When I play PCM, it sounds warm and when I play DSD, it sounds hifi. Whereas the Onix Alpha is very consistent in its tuning throughout every music format. Very strange behavior from the cda-m1p.
Lovely, i guess i made a rly good choice getting the DC07Pro 😬. Ah the struggle if i should pull the trigger on a DAP like Cayin N7 though… Do u have any recommendation what i should look out for as an alternative to the N7? Running the Elysian Gaea atm. Rough choices!
Thanks. Between AR5000 and Luan, I will pick Luan for the smooth coloration and warmer timbre. Sometimes that velvety experience is what I need to relax with music
@@AndyAudioVault Thank you for your quick feedback. That is noted then, I had a Jcally JM6 Pro not long ago. It sounded really good but lost it unfortunately. I wanna try a new dongle so I will lean into the VE Odo as recommended. Thank you again.
I use all available IEMs at the time of testing, which means for Mega5EST I used ONIX Alpha Xi, iBasso DC07Pro, iBasso DX180, BURSON Audio Playmate 2 and recently iBasso DX260 too. Mega5EST seems to sound best with DC07Pro and DX260. Nightingale is suitable with all of them as it is super versatile and being a magnetic planar, scales much better as the sources improves
congrats for your milestone sir ❤ im your new subscribers may i ask since my iem didnt appear in this list, iem that i have is TE Hexa, can u suggest me best dac to pair with? (under 100 usd budget or at least not more expensive than my hexa 😅) Thanks,hope for your answer and happy 2025 sir 🎉

Hi Andy! can you pls suggest me an IEm Around 40$?

Happy new year Andy! from a new sub and follower on IG. Loved the vids and i have a question. Between Kefine Delci, Klean and Artti T10, which one is better for deathcore and progressive metal? i could go all the way to 100usd too but i watched your vids on them and im still trying to understand how this works. Ive been using a kz iem which is very close to harman tuning (i like it) and the tangzu waner which doesnt work really well with the genre. Bass feels too muddy, congested, not enough separation but for vocal focused music is ok. Hope u can help me and thank you!
It depends on what you looking for. For a bit more of transparency and airy transient, DC07Pro, if you need a bit more of note weight and density, ONIX Alpha Xi. Both to me being perfect partners to S12 2024 equally
Hi Andy! Please advise me. Based on your recommendation, I'm going to buy iem Kefine Klean headphones. Should I immediately buy a cable with a 4.4 tip to replace the standard cable? I'm going to use the headphones in conjunction with the DAC Shanling ua4.
hey i wanted to know what do you think is a decent upgrade from kiwi ears orchestra lite? sounds great but i cant rly enjoy cause its not comfortable at all

Direct upgrade would be S12 2024. A nice sidegrade would be Tangzu Heyday or Z12

@AndyAudioVault I always loved the look of the TITAN S2! will look into it, thank you 🤘
when will there be a review of the mod colorfly m1p?
What does this mean? Like a review of the colorfly cda-m1p. Cause that was released like a year ago
@@kennadul2001 I sent the author a modified improved version of this device and am waiting for his review.
Cool, if u don't mind could u share what it was.
I am not sure I will have the time to do it on a dedicated video but perhaps I will do a short on my impressions
@@AndyAudioVault I sent you the return shipping address by email, I'm waiting for it to be shipped, I hope you'll return the device to me.
The Aful Explorer, T10 and SL41mk2 would be in my list.
Bought the onix last week, and now i'm addicted 😂😂😂
How is it??
Does it impact any frequency.. like boost bass, vocals or treble?
@Ashuxxxace not at all it's clear neutral and with a very wide stage.
Hello Andy
How about akliam pd5 vs ibasso jr macaron?
Thanks
Macaron is a bit more crisper and resolving
Andy
ibasso macaron vs hiby r1 which better for sound quality?
Both are already very good sounding. Macaron however does offer a bit more of resolution and dynamism where R1 is better with tonal and timbre balance
my friend, do u know theres old iem there the is price 999$ low to 200$. hope u review soon the akg n5005
I will check it out. Thanks!
Which DAC compliments Letshuoer S12 2024 the best, between Onix Alpha and iBasso DC07 Pro?
It depends on what you looking for. For a bit more of transparency and airy transient, DC07Pro, if you need a bit more of note weight and density, ONIX Alpha Xi. Both to me being perfect partners to S12 2024 equally
@AndyAudioVault Oh okay then. This is great for me to take note of. Thank you for the help!
Hi Andy! Please advise me. Based on your recommendation, I'm going to buy iem Kefine Klean headphones. Should I immediately buy a cable with a 4.4 tip to replace the standard cable? I'm going to use the headphones in conjunction with the DAC Shanling ua4.
Yes it makes sense since you have UA4, using 4.4mm side of UA4 will ensure that you will get 100% power while the 3.5mm side only limited to 50%
AkLIAM PD6 is not available in online stores in my country ☹
You can still try AliExpress
oh no i did not see fiio btr15 anywhere 😢
I did not include BT battery powered dongles in this video, that's why no BTR15
hello, what cable would you recemmend to pair with tanchjim origin?
NICEHCK MixPP 6N OCC
any plans to review fiio’s retro nano?
As of now, not sure yet
hey i wanted to know what do you think is a decent upgrade from kiwi ears orchestra lite? sounds great but i cant rly enjoy cause its not comfortable at all
Comfort is related to ergonomics. And you probably need something lighter and small. Like AFUL Explorer or SIVGA Que
@ does that 2 is consider as an upgrade in terms of sound from orchestra lite? how about meze alba?
Hello Andy, is kefine klean better than truthear zero : red? I'm looking to buy my first iems.
Yes, Klean is a better IEM compared to Truthear Zero Red
@@AndyAudioVault Thank you for your response Andy! I really appreciate it.
Sir pls review FiiO KA15 🙏
Didn't Moondrop discontinue the Concerto?
I am not aware of that
@AndyAudioVault oh my bad then.
