Auricular Remedy

  Authoritative like an Empress PROS : excellent bass response good balance and control across all frequencies well thought of face plate The sound stage has extra headroom balanced sound signature clean and precise instrument reproduction excellent vocals presentation technically capable should be not that hard to drive but a DAC or DAC is strongly suggested CONS : Planar timbre. That “sheen” in the trebles and mids. Very minimal though.  INTRODUCTION: I would like to give thanks first to Steve Tong for providing us, the Philippines circle, a chance to experience the Zetian Wu firsthand.  not a fan of purple, but looking good The Zetian Wu is the 3rd release from Tangzu since the Yuan li. Here, Tangzu is officially entering the battlefield of the planar wars. Companies have been cutting each other’s throats in this war. So how does the Zetian Wu compete with the current status of planar releases? Sorry to disappoint but I will be vaguely comparing this to all the planar IEMs out there

  Questyle M15 - the “Revealer” Introduction :  Hello and mabuhay from the Philippines! Here we are for another audio gear review! And this time, a new kind of gear. A dongle! This will be my first attempt to review a dongle. If you have been around the audio community, you must have heard of AndyEF who initiated the Dongle madness. And what I have here is a top-tier dongle and I am quite blessed to have this as my first dongle. I am not as well-versed as Andy but I will try my very best to share my unbias and honest impressions here.  Questyle is a company based in Shenzhen, China that specializes in quality amps. One of their product that is critically claimed by audiophiles is the CMA fifteen. This is my first encounter with them and I have not yet dived into their products. But by the looks of it, the company is low-key but makes exquisite and reference-grade releases. They don’t have a vast line-up but I think making it count is what matters to this company.
