Westone 4R or Sennheiser IE800?
@Mooses9 - Im looking to purchase the Fiio X3 once the firmware has undergone some updating or the DX50? But still trying to decide. @Zalithian - money is always an issue I guess. Anyone have an opinion on the IE 8? They seemed to be priced closer to the Westone's. Thanks.- polska9

Westone 4R or Sennheiser IE800?
Looking to upgrade my portable set up and looking for some input. My desktop rig is Schiit with HD650 and I love it. I listen to a lot of jazz and hip hop and will likely just run my new IEM's out of my iPod or iPhone without an amp. Thank for the input.- polska9

Peachtree DAC IT vs Schiit Bifrost
This DAC will go with my Schiit Lyr and Sennheiser 650's. Any help would be appreciated? I know that the Peachtree is highly acclaimed from reviews and from what I have read the Schiit seems to be fair but not outstanding. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks.- polska9
