The conclusion is simple: screw mp3.
Imod+fiio e6+philips 890 (top eco buy u can get; beats sony zx700 which are 3x more expensive.) sounds awasome for a portable set, like a good cd player. but unamped :)
the gods must have had ******* blessed me this week, i bought:
somewhat cult-ish mission 737r + free philips xe530 cd;
sony gx707es amp, 2nd top 90's model.
luxman d-103 cd
kenwood d1101b cd;
ale probably the best eco buy sansui a-500.
Just guess the price for all that. Euro, $, or my currency - polish zlotys.
Cheers. :)
