EAMT-1c vs Thummim vs Infinity Mk2 vs Traillii JP

I am extremely impressed with Infinity. It excels so much on both macro and microdynamics as well as timbre.

Nice nice glad you are enjoying it, personally Iā€™d put itā€™s technical ability a bit above the thummim but not at like traillii level

Something I wasnā€™t expecting, but infinity mk2 on 13r is actually pretty incredible. easily the most organic/natural presentation Ive ever had out of iems. Wa8 was good, but this is a whole other level. TBH I could 100% see myself using these for work and just ignoring over ears for a bit. I also find the lack of separation I get on the 13r->sus to be a complete non-issue on the infinity too. Its pretty interesting and compelling overall IMO.

any issues with noise floor? using ifi iematchā€¦?

I just sold mine and now that it has left the house, I have a feeling that I will miss it very much. :sweat_smile:

Question for all yall desktop iem users. How high do you think iems scale? I am asking this off the back of my infinity mk2/13r experience. Idk how much of that was amp and how much was dac but the step past p6p ā†’ wa8 was pretty substantial so im currious where you guys personaly call the line for totl iems

Depends on the iem, some will go high and some will taper out.

For an infinity I donā€™t know if thereā€™s really a clear line, out of my current desktop gear Iā€™d say my favorite pairing for it is the oji special + totaldac, that really is an extremely fun but capable pairing and does handle it pretty well overall. I also enjoy the mojo to mass kobo for that iem too

Just realized I missed this question. No noise floor but I needed an iematch for volume play

Oh, obviously. I was more of currious (for people that have played with totl iems on desktop gear) where they call the line for ā€œworth itā€. Obviously this is crazy subjective, just currious everyone elseā€™s take as I would honestly lean towards sagra->13r being ā€œworth itā€ for infinity alone (obviously there may be better options for the price out there, not like I have a ton of desktop experience)

Iā€™m a little suprised that the oji plays well with that low of impedence tbh. I guess the next question though is, do you personaly feel the quality is worth it for either combo if you didnā€™t have any other cans to use on it? This is purely a currious question for me

Likely not, Iā€™d prob downgrade the level of dac and amp, likely an amp in that 5-7k range and dac as well, so perhaps like your setup but with the sagra swapped out for the next step forward dac wise might be were I would reasonably call it. Could it still get a bit better? Sure but thatā€™s really losing value prop

You know I was wondering about this ever since i tried the ie900 on the allnic amp (which just scaled like nobodyā€™s business btw). As m0n mentioned it depends on the iem as you already know, and in no way do I think that buying an allnic would be worth it for the ie900 alone. For me, hps are mainly what I prefer but if it ends up working well for the iem unexpectedly then all the better.

I have 3 of the 4 of the iems here and the recommended dap (p6 pro). Will hopefully be posting my impressions soon.


Iā€™m not really much of an iem guy but if anything can change that it should be these
