The SUPERIOR concept model, developed in collaboration with qdc, a custom IEM brand based in Shenzhen, China, will allow customers to enjoy a musical experience that goes a step further. qdc and FitEar have teamed up to make an updated IEM SUPERIOR EX will be available through both parties’ official dealers and sales network.
SUPERIOR EX is based on the SUPERIOR concept model of the qdc, China's largest manufacturer of pro-use IEM, and has been jointly tuned with FitEar, the larges manufacturer of pro-use IEM in Japan. This is a large custom IEM brand collaboration model. We focused on reproducing the dynamics inherent in music, and pursued
tuning and total balance according to that concept. By adopting an aluminum enclosure and the original silver-plated OFC cable, we have achieved deeper sub-bass playback and enhanced sound details while maintaining excellent transients. With the three meanings of EXECUTIVE, EXTRA and EXPERIENCE, the EX upgrades your music EXPERIENCE to the next level.
Outline of SUPERIOR EX
Superior, the second entry in the qdc concept model series, will allow more people to experience the fitting, sound response speed and sub-bass playback unique to the custom IEM brand for professional use. SUPERIOR EX is an extra concept model that focuses on reproducing the vast dynamics of music and matching it to a wider range
of music in order to provide a music experience that takes the user one step further. With the cooperation of FitEar, the largest custom IEM manufacturer in Japan, which sympathized with the concept of the project, we planned and developed the project jointly.
SUPERIOR EX is equipped with a newly developed 10mm single full-range dynamic driver, with the aim of providing more users with the brand identity of comfortable wearing and accurate music playback. Based on SUPERIOR, we updated it while considering the total balance of tuning, housing material, and cable according to
the concept. In order to enhance the sound details, the aluminum housing has been changed to further suppress resonance. In addition, the original silver-plated OFC conductor cable with 4 core wire is adopted so that you can feel the deep sub-base playback more. Then, by joint tuning with FitEar, the peak part is suppressed and optimized.
Make your music, Superior EX- As the first collaboration in the history of the two major custom IEM brands that respect each other, we will provide users with the three meanings of "EX" : EXECUTIVE, EXTRA, and EXPERIENCE to enjoy music and monitor. It further upgrades the musical experience available in a wide range of applications, from rings to live stages to games.
SUPERIOR EX is a tuning based on the SUPERIOR of the newly developed entry IEM concept with the aim of allowing more users to experience the brand identity of comfortable wearing and accurate music playback. We updated each of the housing material, and the cable according to the concept while considering the total balance.
Equipped with 10mm single full-range dynamic driver, accurate music playback focusing on excessive characteristics (transients), SUPERIOR for natural and harmonious sound reproduction across a wide range of frequencies and all bands while maintaining the characteristics described above, the areas where peaks occur are suppressed so that they do not collapse even if the sound pressure is increased. We focused on reproducing the vast dynamics inherent in music and jointly tuned it with FitEar for the purpose of matching it to a wider range of music.
Simply fascinating. Stellar local only DAP. The triple timbre options are no gimmick. The ease of use is top notch. Screen clarity and UI responsiveness are near flawless. Best resolution, and this includes the ibasso DX170 and Sony A306. Sonically, what we have here is a technical yet musical affair, that is highly transparent while retaining a warm character, with fantastically resolving bass and extended treble that’s resolute but never shrill. As I said earlier, this is a nearly flawless Dap, as long as you’re not a streamer. This has been a true pleasure.
I love the opportunity to change op apps. The included one is my favorite. If you are thinking about it, it's a great product. Great build quality and feel in hand, unique design. So nice.
One month ago I bought EE Hero and its sound was missing low range according to my preference. A bass was very slightly present although its genuine cable made from 4 copper wires (24 AWG) and some silver plated strands
After exploring many brands and cables I decided to go for Code 24C counting on thicker major wires (18 AWG) and better purity of copper.
The Code 24C sounds absolutely amazing, with full audible spectrum, strong bass but not overwhelming to me. The sound is accurate, tight but warm bass and creates extended stage space.
Moreover, very fancy dark purple colour which is really nice and not distracting as i thought by looking pictures. The set for connecting is perfectly design to apply 2.5, 3.5 and 4.4mm in a high quality manner.
Definitely, it’s thick and not allowing to make small rounds requiring a more space for protection (in a folder or a box).
I recently purchased this cable through MusicTek. I found that this silver cable is very transparent, having balance throughout the frequency response. I found, the only slightly elevated region is the treble air regions, allowing a slightly wider soundstage. I also found that this cable adequately improved my Monarch Mk. 3, with noticeably better separation of instruments. This being that the Monarch Mk. 3 does slightly poorer on soundstage and instrument separation. Those iems often have trouble on busier tracks, and this cable noticeably improved that aspect, for me. This cable is for iems that already have amazing sonic properties, only improving upon those characteristics with transparency and a slightly wider soundstage, with more separation.
