Remarkably energetic set. But upper treble is off.

Very warm. Mid-bass enphasys that bleed into mids. Treble is well done and on the darker side. Doesn't feel technical. EQ helps.

NiceHCK DB2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics C+
Dynamics feel competent, bringing energy without the finest detail. It carries energy without sounding aggressive.
Soundstage B
Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Tin Hifi T1S Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E-
  • Balance is severely off, producing a harsh, unpleasant listen regardless of genre. Long sessions quickly become exhausting.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
Bass E-
The response is anaemic, with bass lines fading into the background. There's minimal vibration or physicality.
Mids E-
Midrange sits extremely recessed, burying vocals under a muddy veil. Lead vocals hide far behind the mix.
Treble E-
The top end feels muffled, with air and shimmer barely audible. Ambient reverb tails are chopped short.
Details E-
Extremely poor resolution causes fine details to vanish, leaving only a vague impression of the music's structure. Everything sounds blurred and undefined.
Imaging E-
The image struggles to differentiate directions, so instruments smear together. Spatial clarity is almost nonexistent.
Gaming E-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
