Introduction

DUNU has a very good track record in my books with the FALCON PRO being a good demo for the company’s patented ECLIPSƎ driver composite and the ZEN PRO probably the best single driver set of IEMs I have heard to date, possibly even the best in the $1000 range. DUNU then showed it can compete favorably in the sub-$100 market too, with the cyberpunk-style TITAN S punching above its price class and offering an analytical sound signature. One thing common to all three is the use of a single dynamic driver for the entire frequency range, yet DUNU with its two decades of IEM mastery has also become known for its hybrid IEM lineup. It’s opportune time to examine the latest entry in the DUNU hybrid DK series thus, and we take a look today at the DK-X6 marketed under another name: VULKAN.

DUNU says the VULKAN takes inspiration from the past and builds upon a decade of experience working with hybrid driver configurations, and the name was chosen to represent power and authority with the design clearly looking rugged and commanding. I was privy to the development process of the VULKAN for a few months prior to its announcement and saw first hand the amount of tweaking and fine-tuning done to achieve the tiniest of changes simply because DUNU was not satisfied. When teasers were put out and the driver configuration released, people were quick to put out prices well above the actual MSRP. Such was the anticipation and build up for the VULKAN, and we now aim to find out whether the hype is justified. Thanks to DUNU for providing TechPowerUp a review sample!
