The best price I found was 11,000. That is the price I can buy the boulder DAC 812. Why can I win the powerball? I'm so happy for you, the joy of reconnecting with your old music catalogue, nothing is like it.
the traillii Ti could be ordered direct on taobao from jaben at just cny56200, which is far less than us$11k (still way too expensive for any iem by my metric of value - it looks better in person and a better value than the fitear creator though). likely people with connection and access could negotiate a better deal too. if you're interest, probably can find a shopping service to get it for you. but you may wish to make sure how the importing fee and tax in your country before doing so.

I believe the Traillii Ti is made by Jaben and is not an official Oriolus iem.

Not an Oriolus Japan official product, confirmed by JP headquarters.
But they condone the Oriolus branding? Very strange. In any case, now I’m even less interested in it than I was..

There are two different Oriolus divisions: JP and China. Trailli originally was developed by the JP division. Ti is a Chinese variant.
When the Traillii came out we looked into this a bit and found out it was designed and I also think made in China ( by the “ Old Man” as some called him.. I do not know his name. ).

The Traillii JPs were "Assembled in Japan" as the sticker on their box states. However, the model itself was designed by Mr. Rao, Old Man, probably not in Japan (if they were designed in Japan, I think it would have been reported on this sticker).

Thus, the words of the Japanese branch that they did not deal with the assembly of Traillii Ti is true. But that doesn't mean the Ti version isn't official, etc. It just has a different assembly location. Given the model's limited status, it may have been assembled by Mr. Rao's branch or by himself.

Why did this happen? I suspect it all depends on production capabilities. Probably, the Japanese branch did not have the capacity for metal processing. All the more so for something as difficult to process as titanium.

Finally I found the perfect match for Traillii.
It's Yatono Ultimate cable from Brise audio. Spent entire this morning to listen to this cable with the bird, and I cannot stop listenning any moment. Really addicting sound. I would say yatono ultimate could easily beat pw1960s in every aspect. Much more balanced and controlled sound signature. Highly recommended for anyone wants to upgrade Traillii's stock cable to a better cable yet cheaper price.
Hey what tips are these?
Also, I'm thinking of a Yatono LE. Does the Yatono LE lend some more bass impact to the Trailli?
