I'm going to disagree with you. I wouldn't recommend it for an audiophile searching for top quality, but over all it isn't bad.   I've found it has a fairly balanced and detailed sound but has very low volume through its HP out. Last night I paired it with a cmoy amp and my JH10X3's and it was...

True, but aren't you a lizard?

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the RSA style plug.

What it offers that interests me is the slim form factor and functional UI

Great impression. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed it had a screen. Always love your reviews man. Definitely need to buy this now

I really wish I could find a cable like that for my CIEM's

Seems pretty affordable for Astel & Kern

Being that the X1 has no ability to be used as a USB DAC I doubt it

Looks amazing. Guess I'll be saving up for this an an X7 afterall.

Noble branded boots?

Clearly you don't have the right source material and equipment necessary to tell the difference.   Also you need to make sure you burn your shirt in for at least 800 hours before you wear it.

Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

What's the cable?

  If you're looking for budget builds then BTG Audio and Headphone Lounge have some good options although they use memory wire. You can also get a Beat Audio Sapphire from custom-iem.com for about $99usd and it's my preferred cable since it uses overmoulding as opposed to memory wire. If...

I did see some promotional images for Sony's new Hi-Rez audio lineup that included this player, which leads me to think this might not be a "Limited Edition" and more of a "High End" player. Also the images displayed on this player remind me more of when Sony was putting Symbian on phones as...

Quote: BTG Audio, PlusSound Audio, Double Helix Cables, Beat Audio, Headphone Lounge, are the first few that come to mind. In regards to sonic issues (brace for impact) I would say that's the wrong reason to buy a new cable. Cables should be bought for ergonomic and comfort issues, as...
