Hello! After the Pula PA02, I bought myself a Dunu SA6 MK2, I really liked them for their large-scale and driving spectacular sound, which gave me goosebumps. I really appreciate the emotions that I experience when listening to music. Now I'm wondering if I should go for something more expensive, like the Elysian Diva. You said that Diva is much more detailed and advanced. I just want to say that my genre of music that I listen to is Dance Remix and the details in the music are quite enough for me, but I wonder if Diva will play even more “tastier”, bigger and more emotional, please tell me. Or, besides the Diva, are there any other headphones that can surpass the SA6 MK2 in emotion and scale? Should I buy something more expensive than the SA6 MK2, if I value the ability of headphones to evoke emotions, please tell me?
@@AtechreviewsFirst of all, I believe that it is the scale of sound and its richness that evokes emotions in me. I also really like their good separation and long sound, and I also like the bass they have - very precise and correct.
@@Vlad_Antonov The DIVA has a rich mid-range but doesn't have the treble sparkle that the SA6 MK II has. I think the DIVA is a great and significant upgrade from the SA6 MK II.
I actually own both and have spent a lot of time with them. Specifically, I have the MEST MK III CF edition. There's really no comparison between the DIVA 2023 and the MEST MK III. The DIVA 2023 has significantly higher sound quality, with superior bass, mid-range, treble, and soundstage. Its technicalities are also much better across the board. I'll probably be selling the MEST MK III soon.
Very good and detailed review. I also tested for quite a long time, almost a month before writing a review for an end game class iem. Such as 64Audio U4S and Monarch MK2. I think this is the most accurate way to give a review like you did. I have 1 question, why does your SA6 MK2 have such flat bass? I'm sure mine and others are not that flat even though the switch is in the off position.
Thanks for the kind words. The graph of the SA6 MK II was the first one I measured, and I sent it by email using different settings and ear tips. I've updated the file many times and even tried to delete it, but for some reason, the old measurement remains even after I delete the file from the Squig server. The issue is that the outdated measurement still appears. I have now added the measurements of the right channel for the MK II and a few other IEMs. You can check it out, and it should match other graphs. However, please note that although I deleted the left channel measurement, it still shows up and is incorrect, so kindly ignore it.
Excellent review. The way you explained the differences was great and really helped! Can I ask you something I think no one has mentioned? I see the pilgrim has vents on it's faceplate, so, does that mean it leaks sound? If I was listening to moderate to high volume, would someone next to me be able to hear the music? Thank you!
@@shaunbrady15 Ok. Good to know. I was thinking maybe it was like the Fir frontier series or the new melodic arctification alter ego, all of which leak a considerable amount of sound. Thanks 👍
This 100%. This is my second favorite IEM according to my preferences and it really is endgame level. But when it comes to the DIVA, you really have to listen to it to appreciate it. I have to admit, it wouldn't have caught my attention unless I actually heard it. The sound quality is nearly perfect, and you could listen to it for hours without any complaints. I have a lot of respect for Elysian because of their products.
I'm proud of Elysian Acoustic Labs frm Malaysia yup my homie country..Alpha Omega brands also frm Malaysia bra..But I'd preferred Annihilator Way better then Diva..ha4..Peace!
I have a lot of respect for Elysian based on the sound and quality of their IEMs. I listened to the Annihilator as well, but didn't compare it to the DIVA 2023.
Will you be reviewing the Pilgrim Noir soon and comparing it to the Diva, Glacier, Dusk, and ie 600?
Dusk beat all of those

If this comment receives some likes, I'll go ahead and do it.
Is/will there be a rating spreadsheet?
It's in progress. I'll try to finish it this weekend.

Hi there! I also love the SA6 MK II. Can you elaborate on what you mean by emotion and scale? What qualities in an IEM evoke emotion for you?

@@Atechreviews Thanks for the advice!

I already owned IE 600, which set would you recommend for me between Diva vs Mest Mk3?

No it is not like open back headphones

Thank you for the kind words. No, the Pilgrim doesn't leak sound at all, neither in nor out. There's absolutely zero sound leakage.
@@Atechreviews Great to know 😁👍
