IEM brand DUNU has its latest release up for pre-order as of today. Titled DaVinci, named after Leonardo DaVinci, this is a hybrid set of IEMs using two dynamic drivers and four balanced armature drivers housed inside resin shells with stabilized wood faceplates. It comes with a rich accessory pack, including three types of ear tips (10 sets total), a modular cable featuring 3.5/4.4 mm terminators, and a handsome looking carry/storage case too. The DaVinci is a collaboration effort in conjunction with IEM reviewer Gizaudio and has been tuned with a 5-way crossover to offer, as the brands involved claim, a fast and punchy lower-end response, accurate midrange, and a true high-resolution sound experience. It retails for $300 with first shipments expected from next week, and you can pre-order it now from HiFiGo if interested.

Malaysia-based Elysian Acoustic Labs is a famous in-ear monitors brand that is known for its expensive offerings. The current flagship Annihilator costs $2999, for example, with an even more expensive one coming out soon. It's least expensive set—before today—cost well over $1000, so news of a $400 set of IEMs from the brand felt important enough to mention here for those interested. The Pilgrim is manufactured by Singapore-based Effect Audio and tuned by Elysian Acoustic Labs, uses a 1 DD (new-gen 9.2 mm Al-Mg diaphragm) + 3 Sonion balanced armature driver configuration inside a machined aluminium shell with a matching faceplate that features cleverly integrated vents. Expect to see a similar tuning style as other popular IEMs from the brand—exceptional lows, balanced mids, and good treble extension—and we will have a full review soon. It comes with a silver-plated copper stock cable in 3.5 mm or 4.4 mm terminations as well as set of Spinfit ear tips in the box. For those interested in purchasing the hotly-anticipated Pilgrim, a small first batch is up for sale on HiFiGo.

The iKKO OH10 holds a soft spot in my heart because it was the first set of IEMs I ever reviewed here on TechPowerUp. I dare say it's also the set that made iKKO famous and was among the most popular offerings from the brand until it was discontinued last year. Those who wanted to see what was going to replace it would be happy to know iKKO has new OH10S IEMs out now which continues the use of a hybrid driver configuration courtesy a 10 mm titanium-coated dynamic driver and one Knowles 33518 balanced armature driver per side as part of an advanced crossover circuit. The face plates use photochromic glass that allow a look at the electronics underneath which makes for a color shift from black to dark blue depending on the incident light. It uses similar copper alloy shells as before and comes with a nice set of accessories. The new iKKO OH10S sells for $219.99 from authorized retailers such as HiFiGo for those interested.

Taiwan-based IEM brand DUNU has consistently impressed with its offerings and one of its more popular products is the SA6—a member of the brand's Studio line of IEMs that uses six balanced armature drivers. The original SA6 released a few years ago still holds a place as a reference item in the $500-600 price range today and this success was followed up by a limited edition SA6 Ultra which only had audiophiles wanting more. Today DUNU and HiFiGo released the new SA6 MK2 which aims to build upon the SA6 and improve it further. Updates include a new ergonomic shell design paired with wooden face plates, a new Hulk Pro Mini copper cable with 3.5/4.4 mm modular connectors, a new storage case and ear tip collection, and a different tuning signature that can be described as neutral with a bass boost. There is a tuning switch onboard to further up the bass for those who want it and TechPowerUp will have a review soon to test all these claims. In the meantime, knowing how popular the SA6 was and no doubt how this will too, the hand-made nature of the SA6 MK2 means those interested might want to order sooner than later if you don't want to wait for new batches to be made. The DUNU SA6 MK2 uses six balanced armature drivers from Sonion and Knowles and costs $579 from HiFiGo.

After a successful launch of its MOONRIVER 2 portable DAC/amplifier (review coming up on TechPowerUp), MOONDROP announced a cut-down version using the same dual Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC chips and dual crystal oscillators, but in a dongle form factor. Making the DAWN quite novel in the dongle market is the output adopting a 4.4 mm balanced TRRS connector rather than the usual 3.5 mm audio jack, meaning you will have to get adapters or go with headphones/earphones that use 4.4 mm cables. In return, this fully balanced connection provides some truly excellent and independently verified metrics including an SNR of 132 dB and THD+N 0.00017% with up to 4 Vrms output in high gain that translates to an output power of 230 mW@32 Ω and 54 mW@300 Ω to easily drive the vast majority of consumer headphones even, let alone earphones/IEMs. The MOONDROP DAWN with its aluminium alloy shell weighs under 14 g, measures 120 x 16.4 mm, can decode PCM playback up to 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD256, and costs $70 from the likes of HiFiGo and SHENZHENAUDIO for those interested.
