Some exclusive early-bird content are also available for my patrons. If you’re someone who can’t wait for my official thoughts on certain headphones & IEMs just drop me a few bucks a month to get a sneak peek. For the rest, you’d have to wait until I get around to them whenever I have the time and/or motivation.

Hi, Crin. Thanks for the update.
Do you have any info or links for the MiM Dark Magician? The measurement looks great but I can’t find any info on it anywhere. Does it perhaps go by another name?
Same here, I couldn’t find any information on the MIM Dark Magician and I am very interested as well.
It’s Singapore exclusive.
It is probably an IEM that only exists in physical audio stores (only in Singapore, as somebody else has pointed out). You’ll get the specs once you get a retail box, if MiM provides it (some companies actually don’t give any specs, for some certain reason…)
How’s 7Hz in techicalities?
Not good. Very high detail retrieval, but it has literally 0 soundstage depth and 0.1 imaging depth. As such, it’s extremely up-front. You can’t “see” the image but only sense the texture of the centre of each image.
Think HD600/650 blob imaging and you’re on the right track.
Overall, the Timeless is a niche set.
Excuse me for asking, but are you Rikudou? If you’re not, you’ll be the second person I’ve seen who describes the soundstage as nonexistent, including its width. There are a few others who commented on about the lack of depth but thought the width is alright
He’s the same person, and the only one with that impression.
Yeah, so far this is the only person I’ve seen claim this too. Hoping to see other people’s thoughts soon.
These don’t seem to show up in the comparison tool yet?
Ctrl+f5 the page, older version is cached for some reason.
Also curious how the Moondrop Kato compares with the Aria. The measurements are very similar except the Aria has much more energy at 12-15kHz. I wonder how much difference that makes, and whether the Kato’s technicalities make up for the loss of top-end detail that this measurement difference would imply.
There are a number of reviews (both video and written) on it by now. A question regarding the bass tuning has risen though; some people measured theirs to be lower than their Aria’s, and Moondrop themselves answered on Head-Fi that they did reduce the bass in comparison, yet on Crinacle’s measurements bass is nearly identical to the Aria’s
