Thisis an example of the Enforce mode being engaged on the Loki. This simple yet effective option adds a sine wave to the bass tone, allowing for an even tighter low-end, and a more cohesive bass sound overall. I leave this mode on almost all of the time because of the added depth it lends to the overall sound.

Up next was the Syracuse area metal band, DeadrideR! The three-piece metal outfit consisting of Johnny (guitars) Dante (drums) and Mortis Loki (bass) did an amazing job keeping up the momentum of the crowd. From the opening riffs to the final echoes of their last song, I really enjoyed their fast and furious classic style of metal. For those who have not seen them live before, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to my next time seeing them live!


The next band on the lineup can be described as a fusion of classic UK punk with the post-apocalyptic Mad Max films and behold you have Rotten UK! Hailing from Rot-Chester NY this Lovecraftian apocalyptic punk band has been tearing up stages since 2011. Lead by vocalist James Von Sinn the band hit the stage and wasted no time sonically barraging the crowd with their classic and riot inducing punk sound. Von Sinn not only has a commanding and bigger than life stage presence, but he is backed by an equally monstrous sounding band consisting of Matt Sexx (guitars), Anarchy Jake (bass) and Fran Damage (drums). I cannot think of another recent show that I had been to where the crowd was going completely off the walls from the front of the stage to back of the venue. Not only is Von Sinn a formidable and talented singer, but he is also one hell of an artist. Von Sinn designed and screened a limited-edition concert poster (only thirteen made) for the show. Glad I grabbed one or in this case two! Aside from taking several punches and kicks I was blown away by them and very much glad I was able to catch their set. They are definitely worth checking out!


Loki plays a bit more vocal forward and you definitely perceive more high frequency energy pushing my comfort zone for now going to do more cable rolling. I suspect this one will benefit from more gold in the mix to warm up the vocals.

EST seem to have more presence than the SR.


Bass OUTPUT goes slightly to the Loki and this can be contributed to the 6mm driver and Bone Conducting driver over the 9.5mm in the DTE900 but has tighter and more mid-bass and attack while still going almost as low as the Loki quite impressive actually.

For me the tighter bass on the SR make me prefer the bass over the Loki.


The DTE900 overall replays a tad warmer than the Loki making it hit perfect to my tastes , the DTE900 plays slightly north of neutral and a tad on the warm side , the Loki plays neutral bright slightly.

Female & Male vocals go the DTE900.


Pros: Super clean vocals

Very musical bass

Overall excellent tuning

Driver has wonderful speed and control with nice weight

Good dynamics and Attack

No BA timbre for me

Great treble details , tastefully done without splashiness

Excellent Coherence between DD& BA


While the vocals might present a tad forward in the mix. It made vocals really pop sound super clean and detailed lots of nice energy, Up there, it had great dynamics and attack when replaying a song with lots of energy.

The overall tuning is really quite honestly tastefully done with no splashiness or BA timber that I heard.

Sources are second for me. Since my new Shanling M6 Ultra and XDUOO XD05 PRO almost rivals my desktop stack Geshelli Labs AKM J2/ Topping A90D , I stuck with the Hiby solely with this review because my DACS are out being modded by Geshelli for OP-AMP upgrades.


I share my impressions as I hear them with my ears.

As all our ears are different shapes & size so what I hear as bright or bass heavy -you might hear as dull and Vise-Versa; just something to be mindful of.


What makes my ears happy as a sound signature is a slightly more aggressive L shape. I love my Bass Sub and Mid Bass slam, love it all actually; and in balanced quantity. With the Bass, I prefer a faster decay the faster the better so as to not bleed into the mids., I am treble sensitive and prefer a slightly darker warmer replay with good treble extension.


My music Library is widely varied from; Metallica, Great White, Cowboy Junkies, Pink Floyd, Adelle, Melisa Ethridge, Fleetwood Mac, Five for Fighting, Mnskin, Poncho Sanchez, Jimmy Smith, Chopin, The Crystal Method just to name a few. When not listening to my test tracks the majority is Jazz or Alternative Rock especially Female Rock. Lorde, Halsey, Alanis Morrisette, Evanescence. All depends on my mood.


My Format has changed with community feedback. So now I will list the music tracks I used & why with my musical impressions of the playback using that track. I hope this will give you some context for my library and give you some contexts to compare using the same tracks.


SOUND IMPRESSIONS:

Starting from the bottom and working our way up the frequency spectrum.

Bass , I like fast tight bass with texture and depth. Sub bass needs to extend low and not have too much bass bleed into the mids to muck up the vocals.

Happy to say the DTE900 with its Ti coated driver takes on the lows with authority and play low with sign of strain or fatigue.


Mid Bass gets its own section because what I just said above applies to the DTE900, Yes the Sound Rhyme bleeds into the mids. A bad thing NO WAY a GOOD THING, because it does it in a way to just enough coloration to enhance with going to far.


Treble is clean, precise and well-articulated giving string instruments nice air and details. You can tell the EST drivers are working but just enhancing the presentation and not trying to overpower the highs. The way the DTE900 has amazing coherency with all 9 drivers is a testimonial to how well this IEM was retuned.

I have not heard much about why this unit was retuned or how the OG sounded but this version is BANG ON.


Stage one of the best and most enjoyable and certainly hits a TOTL level of performance and is quite 3D and expansive when it wants to be and intimate when it needs to be in order to give you the playback as the artist or engineer intended. Some IEM force the stage or is simply underwhelming and was very happy as a great ability to project you the listener into the music.


Compared to the DTE900 now takes everything that I love about the up and makes it better the EST implementation is done better it has more sparkle the vocals are cleaner more detailed and slightly less warm but just as musical and the bass is also on par with each other the difference between the two units is about $50 in retail but there is no doubt that the DTE 900 is the better of the two.

The fans erupted, and it was total chaos from the front to the back of the house, an awesome sight to see. Midnight is currently touring for their highly anticipated album Let There Be Witchery, which will be available worldwide on March 4.

The real meaning comes from music theory when you have a treble clef and bass clef. Basically, anything that's an upper register instrument is going to use treble clef, and bass parts would be in bass clef. So essentially, bass clef is all the bass-heavy instruments. That was what made me fall in love with dance music. I come from playing rock n roll in bands. It was a different experience for me to go to clubs and dance venues and feel so much bass. I thought that was awesome. But hey, the name's good for Google searches since it's spelled differently.
