Good detail, clarity, and imaging, but can sound thin. Similar tuning as Hana, but I found Hana to have better note-weight and bass. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

A bit thin, pillow light bass. Treble and stage could use some more refinement. A tecnical upgrade to Aria.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
B- Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.
Average Technical Grade
B- Competent but unremarkable. Decent detail retrieval in quieter tracks, though busy sections challenge cohesion. Imaging is average, lacking depth.
Bass
B-
Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.
Mids
B+
Good midrange presence with solid clarity. Vocals are clear and instruments have reasonable texture and body.
Treble
B
Good treble response - clear and detailed without fatigue. Well-extended with proper air and sparkle.
Dynamics
C-
Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.
Soundstage
A-
Excellent spatial presentation - wide, deep and tall. Precise instrument placement with clear separation in all dimensions.
Details
B-
Decent detail retrieval. Handles most textures adequately though micro-details and ambient cues could be more pronounced.
Imaging
B-
Decent positional accuracy. Good left/right placement with acceptable center image, though depth positioning is approximate.
Gaming
B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.
