If $10 IEMs can have removable cables then I don't know why Moondrop can't add them to their low end IEMs. I think most people wouldn't mind paying the extra few dollars.

When DSP is part of the product, Moondrop thinks this IEM will sound worse listening to these with a regular cable, and any other IEMs with this cable will probably also sound worse. This is like asking for a bluetooth speaker to have binding posts on the back to use your own speaker wire and amplifier because even $20 logitech speakers can be used with an external amplifier. The DSP in the usb-c connector is fundamentally a part of the product and the way it’s intended to be used. It’s not hard or expensive to add a detachable cable to an IEM, the cable is literally just attached to make the IEM idiot proof, but they’ll still complain.

Agree especially here with a dsp detachable cable. You could customize anything that this will drive. It’s also probably why it’s not removable.

Erm no. The DSP is surely 'tuned' to the frequency response of the IEMs to EQ it. This will sound bad on any other set than this

Probably. It may be close to neutral in tuning if this anywhere close to the tuning on the Chu. It would still be nice to have a DSP like this to use with other suitable IEMs. There are other ways to EQ.
