Craft Ears CE6, clean and dynamic sounding. Very agile bass, forward upper midrange and extended treble. The engagement is really good. An excellent IEM from CE, I am impressed.

Tork, is that your desktop setup? How do you find the atom amp works with very sensitive monitors? I hear it is near silent with even the most sensitive and wondering if you can confirm.

Yup, I use the M2 into an Atom. Its more than fine for powering my IEMs (I don't use headphones). The Atom does have some channel imbalance when the volume pot is low and its too powerful when used with IEMs. As such I apply -30dB on my preamp on EQ APO/PEACE to be able to control the volume pot perfectly.

With sensitive monitors like the SH3, Andromeda and MH334SR, it has veeeeery low noise floor. Completely inaudible hiss when the music starts playing even at very low volumes. I thought about getting the RME since its AIO and also ultra silent but decided not to in the end.

I own Shanling M6 pro, which match well? 4 or 6?
I’ve seen Six are 745€ again on their website, but promo finished on 31 July

I guess both graphs and review kinda out

You have to see what do you need
Natural wide stage and gentle V shape: craft 4 custom
Sheer Resolution and more defined sound target with flat impedance: Craft 6 custom

You can read reviews of both craft4 and craft6
@ryanjsoo @toranku @MrLocoLuciano @Vaiet @marcusd @sonickarma @crabdog

For graphs
@crinacle and @ryanjsoo has done the graph
@ryanjsoo has even done deep fit coupler graph to translate the iem response for custom shell


I feel you should go for Craft 6 custom as Flat impedance iem will always sound same with all source and will have linear scaling of quality across sources(less of sound frequency change and more of clarity and detail as you go up the source). Plus it helps with less cable swapping and less source swapping.

I mean, it will always scale up but more safely and will always sound nice.
