Hifiman 601 vs. Fiio x3 , resolution ?
As far as I could hear both of them sound good with trebly earphones. The differences are subtle and your only concern should be giving those phones enough power. Both of those players have a built-in amplifier and sound great so you shouldnt worry to much ;DD I- lup1

Review by 'lup1' on item 'Schiit Modi'
I always thought Dacs arent that great of a deal. I had my BH Crack connected to macbook pro directly by a 2xRCA and listened to music with my hd650. Unfortunately I still wasnt impressed by the soundstage nor separation and detail. So i bought speedball for crack , then a new Power cable , new...- lup1

Review by 'lup1' on item 'Westone 4R with Removable Cables'
So when I got the earphones my expactations where really high. These were to be my best and last earphones I'll have but it didn't happen. Overall the sound is warm and smooth . It is balanced and nothing really jumps out at you. The bass is as fast and snappy as I've ever heard , the midrange...- lup1

Influence of cold/analytic DAC/AMP on warm sounding cans
Also dont let the reviews of DACS fool you. For example on "What-Hifi the reviewer likes to use big words and exaggerate the differences but really differences between D/A converters are smaller than you might think and if you dont have a transparent enough setup you might have even hard time...- lup1

Influence of cold/analytic DAC/AMP on warm sounding cans
In my Opinion you should keep your DAC/AMP perfectly flat as they were meant to be. Then the only thing you will have to worry about will be the sound character of your Headphones and not whether each part of your chain will be synergetic with other parts etc. . Amps by design should have flat...- lup1

CD vs Turntable , whats better with a small budget
I think the new Marantz CD will be my choice because of the possibility to connect an iphone to it . Maybe one day ill put my hands on a nice turntable but for now it will be my tube amp that will be making sure the music doesnt feel harsh or digital ;> Thanks for the opinions/facts- lup1

CD vs Turntable , whats better with a small budget
Ok so I'll probably stick to the CD Players but one more question just out of my curiosity. Many times when i watch on youtube the best/most expensive soundsystems they are using a vinyl. Why is that so ? Pure preference of the owner ,or an actual advantage of TOTL Turntables over TOTL Cd Players ?- lup1

CD vs Turntable , whats better with a small budget
Hey ;> When a budget is limitem to around 600 dollars do you think it is better to buy a CD Player or a turntable ? I really do value a musical sound with a hint of warmth, so i keep thinking about the TT , but how much worse technically will be a …Lets Say for example a "pro-ject debut Carbon...- lup1

Bebop Lol i didnt really mean to quote that in the post , things happen when you write on the phone ;D although it was somehow related. True i might keep it as a line out source but i just cant figure out one thing . When you connect the dx50 to a portable amp you just use a normal small...- lup1

The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016
Ahh after a month of owning the dx50 I just have made my mind up And probably will be selling it… great DAP but is it possible to truly appreciate high fidelity everywhere we go ? I actually caught myself getting 100% lost in the Music when i came Back home.Maybe it is wiser to create a better...- lup1

Hey do you think the DX50 will drive the Hifiman HE-400 ? They are said to be quite easy to drive. Anyone tried that combo ? I just read that the Hifiman can be sibilant but from what I hear my dx50 rolls of the treble a bit so maybe it tames it a little...- lup1

Involving , natural sounding , open back headphones that can be driven by O2
