I've tested the files with a few programs, Audacity seems to be the only one that wont even open the files, but it does open other flac files so again I am at a loss. Reconverting the files from .flac to .flac with my own converter is always a solution for this problem, usually something wrong with the encoding. Sadly, I've exhausted all my resources and have no clue what to do :P
Also, the easily driven iems don't really need amping to sound nice, especially the Blox and Livewires. Very easily driven and I found no improvement with some of the best portable amp out there ( TTVJ slim, pico slim, Ibassos new T5, SR71A ). The difference from just using the J3 and comboing the J3 with any of those amps was minimal, mostly only different in sound coloration or kick factor. J3 is a beast, its soundstage is capable of very nice things with the proper eq settings.
