@catadegen4 күн бұрын
I'd say enjoying it so far, combat wise it's really clean with vibrant color, and can foresee more challenging fight in the future (non-counterable attack exist already, in 2 forms, but in an extremely slow mode to babysit casuals as of now). What I'd say, currently, the biggest problem is the story, since there's not enough tension being introduced to player, and it's also hard-capped by account level as well. IIRC, in star rail, the grand ending in first chapter is so great and left a bitter taste in player's mouth. BUT, my experience in ZZZ is still WAY better than my experience in WW, since I was legit tilted by my first 12 hours experience (uninstalled right after that), literally ask me to walk 200metres to read an incomprehensible conversation (lords know I tried, i tried to read in both CN and EN, but it won't help). All in all, I'd still daily login, and just do a 15mins dailies like other gacha games.

Hello! How would you compare the Golden Ages to the Truthear Gate purely and solely on sound quality? Like, not even on price and value or portability, etc.
@catadegen20 күн бұрын
Ummmmm, after tip rolling/optimizing as such, Golden Ages has more concrete texture and decay on percussion, or slightly better technicality I'd say, albeit the bass is still on the pillowy side. Gate is on the fair and square entry grade single DD side, sounds, well tuned and good in general. But honestly, I feel like unless there's a break through in the entry grade DD technology, the ever so slightly, plasticky timbre will still exist for a moment (which is a non-issue in things like Kato, but that is like 10x the cost, so you know what I mean).

I got SA6MK2 like a week ago and it is my first ever BA set, all I had were all single DD iems. Had KATO, HBB Olina SE, QKZ X HBB, BLON X HBB and recently Origin. What I'm trying to say is as much as I like the SA6MK2 for what it is, BA bass is lacking and for you to say that Softear Studio4 is the closest upgrade to KATO(my 1st iem ever) got me feeling a little conflicted. Maybe a Studio 5 with a 4 BA and a single DD could be my end game, I honestly prefer SA6MK2 over all the single DDs I have but that bass got me craving for more. I use ifi go blu with xbass on and the bass still come across a bit pillowy lacking that attack, slam and punch.

The BA bass in SA6MK2 comes with a pillowy form, but the BA bass in Studio 4 comes with a concrete/concentrated form (albeit with less quantity), that's the difference. I'd suggest demoing both Studio 4 and DaVinci if you like Kato's sound and want an upgrade for it.
