I said it before - calling AM1 the 'IEM' module is kind of a (marketing) mistake as it makes people assume it must be the best choice for IEM. It really should have been called either the standard or low power module. That being said, the mid power module is quite an improvement over the IEM module as far as overall SQ goes, and it will drive any IEM just as well, if not better.
I would say that the AM2 is more than quite an improvement. the X7AM2 is pretty much a completely different machine. People need to review the X7AM2 as the X7AM1 (IEM module) is not representative of the SQ of an X7. I see many people plugging in full sized cans (even if easy to drive) into the X7AM1 and comparing them to other DAPs which have more powerful amp modules - not really an apples to apples comparison.
