Brandon told me that they don’t sell the faceplate alone. I don’t think these holes on the faceplate will make a notable difference

Then finally is the faceplate with holes the only difference ?
Can I use the seraph faceplates on the Enigma+ ?
If I just unscrew and screw the seraph faceplate does the Enigma+ become open back ?

So...very early days but loving the
Enigma OB
BIG BASS! That's textured and detailed.
Mids to die for, thick but with air, vocals in particular are some how more real definitely have a visceral presence. Treble is detailed, rounded and natural cymbals are wonderfully on point no artificial resonating just as they sound in a live environment. I'm using blue bottom black top tuning nozzles with sedna Earfit light tips with the Clan Audio copper and silver plated copper mix cable.
The overall signature can only described as the Muscular brother of the Titan which has a lighter touch think Huge Jack man vs Ryan Reynolds

Beautiful pictures and I initial impressions

I share the same thoughts on Enigma. I don't think the faceplate makes a difference

I agree as well. We're all hearing the same thing from Enigma(+). Stellar bass, superb mids, airy but not piercing trebles. Vocals to die for. If Enigma is 10/10, Titan is certainly 9/10. Very close in performance and you could not tell a difference without a direct A/B comparison back to back.

After a few more hours in ears, changed nozzles to blue bottom red top and to Tangzu TangSanCai ear tips with the Sony NW-M1A. I'm so happy, if we are playing the percentage game the there's a 3-4% percent difference between the Titan and Enigma in the Enigmas favour, as I thought the Titan's were perfect that's a notable difference.
The percentages are in the details, separation between instruments. The nuances in vocals, the seamless transitions between the frequency ranges.
The articulation in the bass is breathtaking
I don't think for me there's anywhere else left to go END GAME has arrived.

PS
Wether the "Open back" makes a difference I have no idea and if I'm honest I just prefer the look. The staging is wide, deep and tall a real out of the head experience.

Leave it to a photographer to make us all drool.

My friends with Enigmas please listen to the following and commend on Michael Jackson 's 's' sounds.

Just a quick review to see if it's my unit, the song or my sensitive ears.

It's all about the tips, filters and cable you use.
My setup at the moment is a purple filter for low frequencies, a black filter for high frequencies, modernized AZLA tips and an ARES S 8W cable, or I use CADMUS 8W

Enigma+ is my end game too as I said many times. It is exactly what I have been looking for for years in this hobby
I am using TRI Clarion and Penon Asos cable with Cayin RU7. How is the synergy with your Cayin N7?

If you have the seraph you could just switch faceplates

You are completely right.
Eros s also introduces sibilance in Enigma +.
Code 23 has no sibilance.

Thanx I'll try some of that. But I suspect it is a burn in issue as another friend suggested to me.
In any case, having returned recently from Roadburn Music Festival and have the feeling of live experience still thumbing through my bones, I would say that Enigma is the closest any IEM I had, to replicate that feeling.
For example, bass tones feel separate as being produced by a separate agent, be that a bass player on stage or a drone from an electronic setting. This is very special indeed.
Titan is different and while in my opinion tops Enigma in some areas, cannot compete with it's liveliness and weight.

Also the Nyx drives them fine.
Waiting for a replacement set of Go Pods to return as I plan to carry these little beasts around.

I've just listened to the track on Tidal with my Enigmas on my ifi stack (ifi Stream and zen dac v2). I found it to be very sibilant and a very bright track. Definately not an issue with the Enigma.

Fair play, they look gorgeous with the gold faceplate and red screws!

I've been listening to Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water album today with the Enigmas. There's something about that album! The Enigmas also gave it a perfect old recording feel without losing any detail. The feeling was surreal as if I was sat in the recording studio with them. I've never had that on any IEM before.

I also agree that they make live recordings sound amazing!
