Less than impressed quick impressions of the Fiio X7 are up
Comparison: Noble, Rhapsodio, Lime Ears, Empire Ears, and More!

Good stuff. Just to make sure, all the impressions on the Mojo, DP-X1 and X7 are based on using your IEMs right?
If yes, this is very helpful as I am trying to decide between these 3 devices to buy for my incoming A10 CIEM, and I am leaning towards the Mojo.

Yup! Tried both IEMs on all three devices, I enjoy the open/detailed ness of the Onkyo but it's too thin sounding, the Mojo is just less detailed to my ears and definitely smaller sound stage but the body to the sound is much more realistic to me.
Whenever I get my GOV2+ going to add that to a review, also gonna try and ifi micro if I can too
Hey man. Have the Mojo, had the DP-X1. For me Mojo is definitely the more immersive and enjoyable of the two. Mojo has a slight warm+smooth sig compared the the DP-X1's V-shape. The Onkyo's mids sound thin, sounds good if you're into AK's sig (sounded like my 100ii with more bass and deeper stage) but I couldn't get over some UI niggles. For SQ alone definitely Mojo.

Awesome. Thanks buddy! Mojo it is...
Also, thought I'd let you know that, there were some people who did not prefer the A12-Mojo pairing initially, because both have a smooth sound. After switching over to newly released B1 modules on the A12, they feel the pairing is amazing.

Nice!
Can't wait to read your impressions on the Aether and how you think it compares to iems like Solar & K10
I've contacted them recently to reshell my (uni) Solar into a custom => Aether might be next.
I think they have a 4 week build time atm => not bad at all...

The sound is also not bad at all, won't be redundant vs your AR6

Also I'm getting a Rhapsodio Galaxy universal for 2-3 weeks to test and add to the comparison!
You bought or borrowed? Just remember to burn them in for about 200 hours for them to sound the best, as per Sammy's instructions.

Rented actually.
They have been well burned in already by 'sonickarma'. It's going to be ready, steady, listen if he wants!

Good times! The Galaxy has been in my 'want or not' list for ages. A recent review said they are the IEM form of HD800.

Nice...would be great if you could compare them with the Aether too
Rented actually.
Wow, you've found a new way of making money on HF
Anybody wants to lease a cable?
This was Sammy's few on that matter: http://www.head-fi.org/t/800966/rhapsodio-a-force-to-be-reckoned-with/390#post_12611900
Thanks! I missed that. Don't Head-Fi much on weekends. HEK is actually one of my targets!
