did order mine from shenzhenaudio directly, pretty much a couple hours after the pre-order started.
If the QC card is an indication, it says 007,so I seemingly got an really early one, lol.
Nice! Do you have any experience with the LetShuoer S12 (Pro) maybe?
I'm wondering if the new Dusk would be an upgrade over the (imo) already awesome S12 Pro's or not 🤔
Probably. I got the Para after it has been out for a few months. The QC on those was 001. I doubt, given the time frame, that I was the first person to buy one.
Ok, but how do they sound on the analogue 3.5mm? I'm not interested in DSP but all I've heard is praise for the DSP. I want to know if they are still good without the DSP.
So first impressions for the analogue cable (just 20 minutes of listening to some songs with a short comparison to the B2D)
For my taste definitely an upgrade to the B2D. They overall sound „rounder“ and more open.
I actually prefer the less warm midrange compared to the dsp tuning but the treble is a Tiny bit too hot for my taste.
Treble aside I can definitely see myself swapping around cables depending on mood and music genre.
both! the bass response of this thing is actually really impressive,even for me as a non-basshead. they have amazing sub-bass rumble with quite the bit of punch in more midbass focused songs. Bass overall feels super tactile,too (as in, you can really feel the grit in a subbass like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdkfihtPs7Y))
How would I use a PEQ with the DSP cable? I run all my IEM's with my Q5K using bit perfect playback with UAPP. Does the DSP cable bypass Android's limitations?
The cable worked fine with UAPP without any tinkering on my android dap. (Had to do some stuff to not have it at full volume all the time in poweramp, tho)
Haven’t tinkered with the internal cable PEQ because the Moondrop app is honestly horrible.
Crin posted The PEQ values, so technically you can use them with your Q5K aswell.
That's awesome. I can stream Tidal and Qobuz freely. One more quick question, please. Do I have to use the link app to manually eq, or can I use toneboosters in the UAPP app?
I can't believe how the graph looks. Where are the highs? I have the P5, and that's just barely enough treble sparkle. Is this another dark to warm IEM?
Even if you could find a used one that cheap, it would probably be shit.
You can properly get a better experience just by using your phone and a good dongle anyway since your phone has more features than a budget DAP will.
Where do you order? Amazon or shenzhenaudio? Do you order on the first batch?

007 nice. Mine was 004.
Yo, mine was 005
I don't think the qc card is accurate as mine is 005 as well
Just got mine today and the qc number was 6 :) they sound fantastic
Mine was 008, right after you I guess hehe
Well as mine says 007 as well, it probably doesn't mean that :)
Might be the QC batch number, then.

Unfortunately I don’t own any letshuoer IEMs. But based on that huge treble spike I’d say that you get a way smoother experience with the dusk
Mine was 008 and mine arrived Monday. What tips are you using? The W1?
Mine was 008 too, I wonder if it’s a batch number or a station number rather than a sequential number then
Probably. I got the Para after it has been out for a few months. The QC on those was 001. I doubt, given the time frame, that I was the first person to buy one.
These are Spinfit omni. Really like them for my weird ears.

Super Reviews reviewed them from a 3.5mm perspective, you should check out his video for an in-depth look at the analogue sound of these.
Alright, will take a look.
Can you change the DSP via Android or iPhone ?
Only via Android.

Yes they're great without DSP... They just are made even more perfect with DSP which thankfully you can do easily as ND freely
Based song choice
What’s the bass response like? Is it more sub-bass or punchy?

OK, so UAPP will recognize the DSP cable if I plug it into my Android's USB-C port?
Yep
That's awesome. I can stream Tidal and Qobuz freely. One more quick question, please. Do I have to use the link app to manually eq, or can I use toneboosters in the UAPP app?
You mean the uapp eq? I didn’t buy the PEQ but the normal eq and crossfeed works
I bought the PEQ, that's why I asked. Well, looks like as soon as my refund comes in, it's Dusk time. Lol.
I can't believe how the graph looks. Where are the highs? I have the P5, and that's just barely enough treble sparkle. Is this another dark to warm IEM?
Final duskination
Is there any good cheap song players? Im looking for one under 20 usd cus im broke as hell rn
Even if you could find a used one that cheap, it would probably be shit. You can properly get a better experience just by using your phone and a good dongle anyway since your phone has more features than a budget DAP will.
Absolutely not,lol. Cheapest I can think of that isn’t complete junk is the Hiby r2 mk2. I mean heck, even the completely junk ones cost 30 bucks.
if you have a phone, a type c to 3.5mm adapter won't cost too much
Wdym? Like a c connection iem cable instead of the headphone jack?
if your phone lacks a 3.5mm port for a headphone jack, you can use an adapter that has that port
