I'm stuck between a Fiio x5 or a used AK100 for my SE846. I can get them for about the same price. I did my research and I still can't decide. They both seem to be really good DAPs and I'd probably be happy with either so I wanted to put it to a vote.

Hi everyone,   Thought i should start a thread where everone who owns a x5 and the soon to be released dx90 could post their comparisons for people like me who are looking at these two daps for their next purchase...   Dx90 is expected to be releases 15th-20th march   Which do you think...

Foreword         I've personally wanted to see something like this for a long time now. As a techie, I've long been intrigued by the idea of these top of the line DAPs. They bring with them the promise of high level engineering that will make the most out of your files and headphones. I've...
