I don't know too many people who have heard the ASG-1.3, but the M200 is currently the best universal I own sound-wise. Keep in mind, however, that some people with small ears have had fit issues. I think the ASG-2 would beat the M200 in sound, but not by a huge margin. 

 
  so the m200s would beat the asg-1 in terms of sound? i was looking at the aurisonics cuz of their detachable cable, but if the reliability of the kef's are good enough, as well as their cable, i might as well save 100$.

 
btw sorry for double posting, but if i got an fiio e12 to pair with my iphone, would it produce a better sound?

The M200 is solidly built. Yes, I like the M200's sound over the ASG.1.

So I see mp4nation.com is about to start selling the DX50. And on the X3 website they posted a link comparing the two DAPs. There were pros and cons for both, but the review stated that the X3's sound was more transparent. I'll probably by the DX50 anyway in a couple of weeks.

My M200s are lost in post office hell. :frowning2: Forwarding Service isn't working and the PO worker won't just leave the package with my old apt office. Luckily, I found a way to redeliver it to my current address. Should be delivered tomorrow if all goes well. Lets hope. *crosses fingers*

which is very strange because almost any other comparison suggests the opposite... Of course I'd like to hear the difference myself, but I'd rather pay 200$ for a good IEM rather than get another DAP that is in the same class of DX50.....

actually did break down, plugged the Monsters in to my ipod mini, letting them burn a few days (Mini isn't good for much more to my ears), they are a bit rough right now, Philips more refined. Let you know in a few days if anything changes

My Gratitudes arrived today. Still to early for impressions but the package is really impressive.

Well I haven't seen any other review than that one, so I don't know. The X3 has very good clarity to my ears, but then again it depends on the earphone you're using I suppose.

It'll be all worth it when it finally arrives.

Just got the Onkyo HF300 and I must say that for $123 including postage, they are a bargain of the year contender.
 
Very detailed and balanced sound, no bass overload, smooth mids and sparkling but non sibilant highs.
 
Powering them off the X3 and they are a portable treat, even beating the WS99 I daresay.
 
They will soon be meeting their gramps, an Onkyo A-5100 from 1978.
