@hshock76 For vocals(especially female lol), how would you compare the Supreme and the Infinity?

This. This sums up my experience well, thanks for articulating. I almost struggle to try and analyze the Infinity via the typical bass/mids/treble route because its really is more about the experience rather than its parts.Coupled with the incredible layering, imaging, separation, balanced tuning with all parts coming together, I am placed in the music rather than just listening to it. It is a complete experience.
wow lusher, i thought the infinty would be the lusher oneI will let you know in a couple of days after I get more burn in on the Supreme 2. At this point the Supreme 2 is lusher.

vocals on which is fuller ?
I hope it does, ever since I listened to Thummim I was hooked! But that price though! If this matches it, im going for it blind!!!!!So impressed with the innovation on the Infinity, I decided to sell Odin and give a shot to the new Sagga, an apparent insane bass IEM with very fleshy mids and large staging. The goal is to see if it can do what my Legend X does but at an even more higher level-a mighty task.
Should arrive in about 2 weeks or so. The hope is maybe it'll be similar to the Thummim (not expecting same resolution) at a lower cost.
Gonna be tough with just one driver but fingers crossed!!
After burning in my MAX the past few days, it is quickly becoming quite clear that Infinity MKII is a veryyy transparent IEM. It’s synergy and signature seems to vary quite dramatically depending on the source.
I listened to MAX last night before bed and noticed some sharpness and brightness up top. I ultimately changed the DAC volume down which helped, but the treble was definitely the focal point compared to bass and mids. Very detailed but also laid back, a bit cold.
I went back to my R8 turbo mode and immediately noticed some much needed warmth and a more balanced, smoother sound. MAX might have a slightly blacker background with a slight technical advantage, but it seems to lose the magic I find with the R8, i.e. addicting, engaging etc. R8 still maintains incredible detail (as mentioned, more than Odin), so it’s a welcome trade off in my book and to my ears.
*(there is still a waterfall hiss out of balanced, less so from SE but loses a bit of the dynamics I feel from non balanced).
@hshock76 has also realized he prefers the ESS DAC from the SE200 than MAXEX. So just sharing this information to potentially help future owners in finding their ideal synergy .
Same here, that's why I'm waiting on his review on the new Sagga! From descriptions, seems to be a bass monster I guess, one driver IEM.Is it safe to assume that MKII leans more towards a brighter sound? If yes then I‘d probably have to re-consider, since I’m not really keen on bright sounding IEMs.
No, I don’t think it’s a bright IEM at all. From my DX160 it’s a rich, mid centric signature similar to the R8 but less technical so it sounds too thick. It was not bright from my brief stint with the SE200 either. I just think MAX is not a good pairing with it unfortunately.Is it safe to assume that MKII leans more towards a brighter sound?
