Thanks for doing this - really interesting to blind test myself.   (Kit used - Laptop, Topping D1 Mark II, AKG550)   I got Group 1 100% correct and I was pretty confident about it - there was no guesswork but it did...

It looks like you/your brother are being swayed by (very powerful) marketing forces.   Whilst 'style' etc is certainly important to many I would strongly advise you research (like you have done coming here) before spending a...

Thanks Yugus,   I've just read (albeit translated) the Audinst review which seems to follow the theme of many others in that it can be a great little DAC/AMP if with some very minor changes.   That said, it was hard...

Thanks Tablix,   I didn't have access to a PC at the time and I couldn't find a way to translate on my iPhone.   Thanks for the review Yugas, it looks like a nice piece of kit and, judging by your review, might sound...

Thanks for the response. I am familiar with the Dragonfly but would rather not spend so much hence looking at other Sabre DAC options like the ud100/hifimediy USB to which I can add my desktop amp at home. Fiio E10 price range is about...

Thanks again for the suggestions - much appreciated. After further consideration I am leaning more towards a dedicated DAC that can feed the X-Cans at home and I would use the iPhone for general office and portable use with no amp (the...
