I had to pay SO much more for the DUSK to get the same difference in sound quality as found between the Moondrop Space Travel and the Aria.

Dusk is a super solid first pick. Learn how to EQ or just use DucBlokes PEQ as a place to start and fine tune from there. Dusk is quite good and can emulate MANY sound signatures

r/iemspositive4

I favor it over the rest in your contender lineup, however the Dusk and normal Tea Pro are also amongst my favorites

r/iemspositive1

I like my dusk. Has a 14k spike on analog but with the dsp it’s comfy

r/iemsneutral3

They are essentially the same tuning, maybe ep321 will feel more smooth in treble (or not, depending on your ears) and dusks a bit more bassy.

r/iemsneutral1

Yes ep321 is more smooth in treble and dusk is bassier.

r/iemsneutral1

Mids on these are more like dusk on analogue type of mids. I think it would be great for monitoring tho.

r/AVexchangepositive2

wow. insane price on the dusk. GLWS!

u/avexchangebot Bought Moondrop Dusk from u/Due-Outside-5270

Had the Dusk and returned them. The Daybreaks’s are a very pleasant listen. Imo, the Dusk’s are not worth the price. Also, hope you plan on using the usb-c, because that’s apparently the only way you’

r/iemspositive1

I prefer the analog Dusk but that's just me. I like vocals

r/inearfidelitynegative2

No doubt there's a better sense of technicalities compared to the dusk, especially considering how it's tuned smoothly which allows you to listen at a higher volume.

r/iemsnegative2

The DSP cable is ass, I hate how muffled it sounds. Been only using them analog after the first week (either with Moondrop Dawn Pro or with Focusrite 2i2.

But I’d also really miss the P7 the Astral and the Dusk.

r/iemspositive4

Imaging, many of them are really good, not ranking them but these are the ones that comes to mind for imaging. The P7, the Astral, the Dusk, the Horizon, Studio 4 and the Top Pro
