  1. Could these various values please be published on the database so that they can be picked up by the excellent AutoEQ tool?

    Reply

    1. They’re on AutoEQ now but at least my Qudelix 5K picks them up the wrong way around – correcting for it as if the profile was the IEMs own tuning…

  2. Hey crin, ordered mine from shenzhenaudio.com. Any idea when these are shipping and are they shipping sooner from aliexpress? Can’t get a straight answer from shenzhenaudio on this. Figured I’d check with you. I ordered April 10.

    1. were you able to get an answer to this, I just bought a pair and i have the same question, I live in Australia so there could be some shipping differences

  4. Has there been any update on the DSP-Cable on iOS devices? No matter how often I try, Moondrop Link does not work.

    Reply

    1. Moondrop Link app will not recognize the Dusk because of iOS security protocol for I/O devices. However, the DSP-default tuning is baked into the DSP-cable, so it’s plugged in and plays free. If the DSP cable is working fine with you, then it should be okay. However, if you want to try other tuning presets like Bass+, Harmon, etc., then you can borrow someone else’s Android phone, change the tuning, then the DSP cable is “baked” into new tuning.

  5. Any clue why the DUSK sounds better on the DSP cable vs analog cable with EQ profile?
    Running on Fiio K11 R2R. I imported the PQE file into eqMac. Bass seems more defined, vocals are richer/warmer with the DSP cable vs EQ on the analog. Am I doing something wron or the Fiio is just a bad fit? (low gain)

    1. Have you tried increasing the volume a bit, like around 2db? If you use the EQs on the graph tool from hangout.audio on the analogue graph, you need to add 2-2.5db for it to match the default dsp version, for instance.

      1. I think i just didn’t get a proper seal… They seem to sound the same on analog with EQ vs DSP default now, that I can get a consistent seal :).

        I just want to say I absolutely love these IEMs. <3 <3 <3.
