    I’m hesitant to call anything endgame, lest upgraditis bite me in the ass. But the U12t has definitely earned it’s place on my “keep forever” list and it’s the IEM I’ve been using the most. It is as I’ve seen others describe it: Excellent at almost everything but not exactly the “best” at anything. I think it has the least compromises of any IEM I’ve used thus far.

    As for LDAC vs AAC on the 5K, I actually haven’t tested that yet but I plan to. I have an Android DAP that can do LDAP but I’ve been pretty happy with AAC off my phone, which is much more easily pocketable than my DAP. When I do get around to doing a side by side comparison I’ll definitely post about it here.

      Thanks for the excellent response! And lol I absolutely relate to the ‘upgradtitis’ I was happy with me Blessing 2 Dusk, then I saw the hype around the Sennheiser IE 600, and I’m hoping they can hold me off for some time.

      I look forward to your future update on the codecs audio quality!
