The Campfire Andromeda 2020 is the latest revision to a legendary IEM. Campfire made a requested change for this version of the Andromeda, but in the process I feel lost the magic that made the older revisions so special.
Big thanks to Headphone dot com for providing this for review!

Have you tried those with RME ADI-2 DAC? RME touts its output is clean enough for Andromeda.

I used that for the 2019 version since I owned that then. It did not hiss with that so I would imagine it would be fine.

The ibasso dx160 works well with the Andromeda if you use it on 4.4 balance literally no hissing. I also turn off the wifi and that solves the hissing problem.

I dunno, I used to own the OG one and the bass wasn't very good on that either. Side by side there wasn't much difference with the bass to me.

Hey Andrew. Which IEM do you think is more detailed, the andromeda or the monarch? Do you think it’s worth it to take the 2020 andromeda over the monarch if I don’t care about bass?

I saw his reviews about the Ara and Solaris and I definitely I agree with his point of views. Campfire iems look nice but they don't play with the big boys. I rather get something from Sony or 64 audio. However, the Andromeda is pretty good iem if you get it at a decent price.

@@thanrl CHEAP RESIN AHAHAHAHA BULLSHIT. The "cheap reasin" is made by a German liquid resin, this material is inserted after a primary mold for the BAs, crossover(s) and tubes insertion. Then the entire mold is filled with the same kind of resin and on top of it a stabilized wood faceplate wich I would consider extremely good looking (dunu sa6). Sure I'll give prop to metal builds for feeling e bit heavier and having the possibility of being CNC machined with various forms and shapes, even cutting logos on the inside or outside. But resin shells are extremely comfortable and scratch resistant, which, for the second one, metal, whether it's aluminum or stainless steel it will suffer from those over time. Plus, the construction of the SA6 is one of the most solid and bubble free ones you can find on the market, consider resin ad something much much lighter than metal but have the same level of resilience _over time_ . Not bomb proof like metal, but it has its reason and a number of iems are made by this kind of full resin, just like the Moondrop S8 or many, many other iems.

The BL-03’s are like the first girl you meet in the Big City coming from a rural farm area. It will wow and amaze and you can’t believe your luck finding such quality for so cheap. But after a while spending time in the City, you realize there are waaaay better and they’re everywhere - but they will require more investment. The BL3’s are not in the same area code as the Andromeda’s across the board.

I definitely agree that the Andromeda isn't an Andromeda without the treble sparkle. The sparkle is what made the IEM good, it's what made it 'love at first sight' for so many audiophiles. Have you heard the Andromeda MW10? I heard it combines the best of the OG (treble) with some of the mids improvements of the 2020. Edit: Also, the ES100 and Apple Lightning adapter don't hiss - I noticed you said you didn't try them out. They could be a solid option for people that want reasonable portability with the Andros.
