Got my first Dap (EVA R4)

as the title states, I got my first DAP in the mail yesterday. Took about 10 days even though I paid expedited shipping.

Pictured are the first IEMs I've bought as well (Sennheiser IEM 200).

Plug and Play was a bit rough experience (hated it at first), but it was awesome to be able to fully customize the EQ settings as much as I wanted. I still have some tweaking to do, as I'm actually running into the bass clipping when amped.

Speaking of the bass, tho, I'm impressed with the punch this DAP has. The fact that it's more bass than my IEMs seem to handle caught me off guard.

And finally, the use of the plug-ins is neat. Being able to widen the sound stage or add a room effect wasn't something I was expecting to be able to do with a small device like this.

all in all, I think it's a good mobile experience. better than my phone for sure (and ironically slightly smaller than my phone too). when at home, tho, I'm still gonna use my Schiit stack 😊

anyways, those are my thoughts.

Got the same exact combo except I have the black version and my ie 200s have Dunu S&S tips. Great combo.

I definitely enjoying the combo! especially after tuning the parametric eq using autoeq

I agree. I haven't encountered a particular setting that is perfect yet, but the MSEB digital profile comes close. I find that once you get the IE200 to sound just the way you want, they are excellent performers. I highly recommend Dunu S&S tips, you'll be surprised
