Hifi devices were never more affordable. Having a comparison between audio devices is a must, imo without comparison a review has little relevance. Just discovered your channel and you do a great job, thanks.

I have ordered an Alba when it was introduced to the market in June 2024. It appears Meze has production issues in Romania. Hence, I was promised the item to be delivered in September. Interestingly, I am promised the mini DAC for free to compensate for the production delay. Eagerly looking forward to the combination Meze Alba IEM + DAC.

I received my Alba today. The sibilance is unreal. I think something has to be wrong with mine because I had to EQ it from 2K to 16K at -5 to -7.5 just to make them acceptable. And it cut my volume to what feels like -50% or something. I'm returning them to see if another pair works any better.

Also, please double check if the ear tip makes good seal. They're awfully sensitive to that. If it's not good, the bass is lost and midrange dominates, making the sound thin and bright.

@@iiWiReviews I'm afraid the bundled dongle DAC may not be worth $80. Its specs do not seem to be given on their product page. Even the DAC chip used is not specified. Its objective worth is unknown and unspecifiable at present. Given that another reviewer says that it doesn't support DSD files and only supports PCM files up to 384kHz, I wonder if it is anything more than a complimentary accessory. Furthermore, to someone who does not intend to use this bundled dongle, its subjective worth can be $0. For such a person, it can be something useless for her/him that only adds to the price tag.

For me personally, both are great, but comfort is heavily dependent on our personal ear shape and it's the most difficult thing to comment objectively. For example, my girlfriend finds small IEMs with very short necks most comfortable, and I often can't make a good fit with those and they keep falling out (like old Sennheiser CX300 for example).

I have many reviews that are glowing even though I bought the product myself or it was a loaner, and many reviews that were critical or mild even though they were free samples. So no, it doesn't influence the review at all if you have a backbone and don't sell yourself. That kind of behavior would be very disappointing and easily noticed by my long term viewers.
