Hello,
 
This topic is to ask whether I should stick to iPod Classic 160GB or get another brand DAP, specifically when using Beyer 1350s and FiiO E12 Mont Blanc.
 
I've used an iPod 120GB for 5 years. It got a little wet during a family outing and now it will only run when being charged, so the battery may be the problem.
 
Anyway I've been using it with a Beyer 1350, both straight from the headphone jack and with a FiiO E12 Mont Blanc for a year now and I really like the setup because the 1350s shield off any noise coming from other people on my commuter train *and* I like the Apple user interface.
 
So I'm looking to replace my 120GB faulty iPod with a 160GB 7th gen (current) version.
 
However, now that I need to buy a new DAP I might as well get something else if it has better sound quality. As mentioned above I will used the new DAP with a FiiO E12 Mont Blanc and Beyer 1350s.
 
Thank you!

Thank you for replying! I have read about the X5 and no doubt it's a great player. My question is: will I hear the difference given the fact that I have The Beyer 1350s and à FiiO E12 mont blanc?

The better the source, the better the sound quality so I'm assuming you will. You might want to ask in the Fiio x5 owners thread though.

Hi, thanks again! I posted here because I thought this was a recommendation request and hence was not allowed to post there. But I will do so now that you suggest it :)


You are "allowed" to post in that thread. It just generally works better to start a new thread here, rather than start a brand new thread in one of the equipment sub forums.

Since you already have the E12, I would be tempted to stick with the FiiO X3 or iBasso DX50. It's not like the DT1350s are difficult to drive. I have not heard the X5, though.
