Would the Schitt Magni Modi combi be good for the X1? Or is the Fiio E10 good as well (got them now). If it's worth it I will buy them and keep the E10 as portable.

The Magni should suit it well.

I didn't hear any difference between the FiiO E12, my Iphone and my Laptop (Realtek Onboard) with the X1. I'd stick with the E10.

If you can't hear a diffeence, you just aren't tuned to the difference. There's a lot more at play than just a similarity. Amps will help with busy passages in music, or impedance spikes where say a 60ohm headphone can jump up to 300ohm at certain frequencies. WEhen something isn't proficient at that high a level of impedance, you lose dynamics, impact, and clarity. But hey, if you're fine with onboard, enjoy.

If onboard sounds the same, then you've been blessed with special ears that will keep you from spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on the Head-Fi addiction.
It's actually a good thing.

Pulled the trigger today, they dropped to 175 €. Will be interesting to check how they sound with the WA7.

Well, i won't go into that discussion, since this is not the Sound Science forum. New members reading here just should know that not everybody hears these differences between amps, DACs and cables. It can save them a lot of money.

Something that I made to keep my new X1 in good shape. I fabricated it myself using 8mm Acrylic.

Wow very nice! Have you considered putting this up in the diy headphone stand thread? I think the guys there would enjoy it too haha. Man I wish I knew how to work with acrylic.
Oh and isnt acrylic fairly expensive btw?

Thanks Darknet for your heads up. Posted in the DIY headphone stand thread too.
Well the acrylic is not that expensive. But I have quite a bit of powertools to help me sand down the edges and polish shine.
Hope you liked it

Stand looks great, nice work! The X1 is such a show piece. Until it gets on your head, then it just starts looking silly lol

I just ordered the Philips Fidelio X1 and was wondering if any of you guys could recommend a good cable that has volume control.
