Can anyone share an EQ profile they have going for Bonneville? Treble has been a little aggressive for me lately, most likely due to my new source. Trying to smooth it out a little bit on the top end
No EQ for me. I think your DAP/source is emphasizing the treble note edges too much if it's peaky/aggressive, and EQ IMHO will sacrifice finest refinements in the note edges. I even use the Pentaconn Corier Brass to make the treble (and the whole frequency range especially the bass) even more refined sounding
With an excellent tube, I've never heard the Vali++ (I haven't heard the Vali 3 yet) but even the notorious Andromeda CK Blue DID NOT hiss at all. I've also tried the Campfire Vega OG on the Vali++ and that too didn't hiss (then again, Vega didn't hiss on the Mojo 1). I don't think even Jason himself designed the Vali++ to be IEM friendly, just an amusing discovery that Vali is extremely well behaved with low impedance IEMs while other Schiit amps such as the Asgard 3 go limp mode + hissing (protection mode) when driving the Andromeda.
I'll definitely visit Schiitr before it truly dies away just to test the Vali 3 on the hissing aspect! I do hope it behaves extremely well with these super sensitive low impedance IEMs as well
Owned Vali 3 since release - all my CFA IEMs work flawless. A tiny background hiss but once playing music I’ve had no issues with volume up to 11/ 12 on dial. Mind you using Roon 1.8 -14 LUFS.
Supermoon has been a pleasure with all headphones amps owned.
Moon Rover: I bought it, brilliant. I like it very much and it is approx on par with obravi eamt2c and final a8000. It is tuned similar to D8000 and hence neutral. Resolution not as high as stax or eamt but still very good. Vs iLcd 4 much more stable. - mine failed and neural w/o Ewing (which is not the case for ilcd). I have an andromeda which is good, but MR is in my view better. Vs a8000: a8000 needs in my view some modest eq to slightly deemphasis highs. MR more neutral

Just an FYI @CFA Chris there are a few mistakes on the product pages with the wrong products being mentioned e.g. Fathom being mentioned under the exploded diagram and FR graph on Cascara page etc.
I completely agree with that. The Supermoons are my first CA IEMs and play nicely with everything I have: Shanling M7, Mini I Pro 3, Woo Fireflies... but probably best of all with the Cayin RU7 dongle. This is a pairing so ridiculously good it has no right to be as portable as it is.
