In December 2020 I reviewed the Alpha AM5, which, like the Alpha P5 before it, received Reviewers’ Choice honors and was named a SoundStage! Network Product of the Year for Exceptional Value.

#Audirvana plus deutsch drivers#
The Alpha AM5 ($599/pair) and Alpha AM3 ($399/pair) have the same drivers and crossovers as their passive counterparts, but also have built-in amplifiers and an abundance of connectivity options, including moving-magnet phono, USB DAC, optical S/PDIF, and Bluetooth. In October 2020, PSB announced powered versions of the Alpha P5 and smaller Alpha P3 ($219/pair). PSB’s Alpha P5 two-way minimonitor ($399/pair, all prices USD except as noted) received a Reviewers’ Choice Award when it was reviewed on SoundStage! Access by Hans Wetzel in March 2019, and was subsequently named a SoundStage! Network Product of the Year for Exceptional Value.
#Audirvana plus deutsch series#
On the opposite side, the M9 are small and surprisingly ergonomic, sitting quite comfortably in my ear while achieving great seal right off the bat.Introduced in 1991, PSB’s affordable Alpha series of loudspeakers have since earned a reputation for performance and value, and received many awards. With regards to the Sony Z1R, I've never had the chance to audition them but I read they're rather heavy and uncomfortable to the ear. Source might also play a part on how low the M9 can actually go (I find them rather transparent in this regard), so keep in mind that I generally consider my Mojo a good reference for my IEM comments. Granted, I've experienced more rumble from, say, the Meze Rai Penta, but that tuning was way off overall compared to the Sony M9. Opposite to common perception, I even find their bass to be perfectly competent, albeit true to source: Billie Eilish's Happier than Ever (Qobuz 24-44.1) sounds like the bloated compressed digital bass that it is and even hurts my ears, while the sub-bass rumble in Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem (Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Daniel harding / Qobuz 24-48) sounds as natural as it should sound in the concert hall.
#Audirvana plus deutsch upgrade#
While they sound like an upgrade even from my FiiO BTR3, anything from a Mojo up will truly make them sing. In my case, I sold my Etymotic ER4s and my Sony EX-1000 to get the M9 and I never regretted it one day! The M9 are a clear step up, IMO I'd even venture they'll become a Sony classic on the grounds of how they strike a balance between well-roundedness and fidelity. I know it won't replace the A3 as that sound's pretty unique and probably only the Z1R can replace, but, is, dare I say, owning a Z1R AND an M9 a good idea? does the two complement each other well?Ĭlick to expand.I was sitting where you're sitting right now.

My question is, is it good enough IEM that I can comfortably sell off a couple of IEM in my collection to replace? the thought of consolidating it to a smaller pieces does sound appealing to me lately. I do love the accessories included and its form factor as right now the only IEM I can comfortably sleep in is only my couple years old IM04 and I'm not always that jazz about its sound tho it's competent.

I planned to save up to an IER Z1R but theres a good deal for a new M9 that I might be able to sell off at about the same price. My point of reference is Sony A3, EX800ST, and others in my sig, mostly mid-fi. Can't believe I might be considering it now, but is IER M9 good? I do hear its a good side grade on par with the ever popular Andromeda but I've never heard of them either, heck or any high/summit end IEM model even.
