Oh wow , this really has every boxed ticked :gs1000smile::gs1000smile:, i will do through research on this. What do you think from a sound Quality perspective is it better than Quad Vena 2 Play?

Hmm this amp is pretty interesting and ticks all boxes except tonal controls, i will take a look and read your review. More suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

Hello friends, for the past 3-4 months i have been looking for a DAC with Headphone amp for my desktop/office setup, i want to upgrade from my old Technics integrated amp to something more modern and better. Everything is fine till the matter at hand where i had to buy the damn product , because...

i got to corect you i dont use any sofware enhancement form the player on the computer nor the aplication off the sound card everithing is disabled and stok only use the amp to tweak some aspects of the sound....no EQ no Cristalizer no Suround...   i dont have a problem with the player being...

My amplifier is an old Technics SU-V3 class AB it has like 40 years,still works like a charm,maybe its an old sound but its a good sound in my opinion.   Well the thing is i did not want to buy an external amplifier for the x5 because its over my budget and to think that i need another amp to...

Maybe i am a little bass heavy but i like to have bass because 50% of the time i listen to electronic and because of that i need bass.I listen music through my AMP all time and i am acomodated to that powerful analog sound its warm and has a tremedous extension,this is what i searched something...

i agree with you its my fault that i did not do a research in to this matter because i did not thought that it cant do it but nevertheless i will keep this in mind every time i will buy something like a DAP.   i will return it back tomorow so then is there something in the x5 pricerange that...

My defenitive conclusion is that this player was never meant to do more than play the music as it is at a flat frequency,never meant to give you the posibility to tune the sound to youre nedes,its just limited electronicaly,i had to big expectations from something branded as high fidelity that...

ok i understand it has a flat frequency response BUT why doesent it give me the satisfaction and COLORATION in the bass frequencyes that i want? the mids and hights are perfect.   so let me describe the Bass after eq it,its just very poor, the midbass has no impact and no bass specific...

then what is the problem? beacuse im not insane and this is not the sound i was expecting i mean its just doesent add up 

    Well lol this is suprising but i must say that the x5 has a problem or its just a bul****, i conected my headphones to my old Sony ericsson W995(WALKMAN)phone just to realize how bad the bass and extension on the x5 is,im not nuts and i know what to expect from something that has 10 x the...

Well i agre with you but considerig the power that the x5 is capable off and the fact that the amperiors are easy to drive quite very easy i am questioning myself why isnt the sound so beefyan extended........im just mising something

Well in the end i bought the fiio x5 it arived today, i auditioned it like 2 hours  and i must say im pleased with the build quality and the sound is good clear very good mids and hights BUT i feel it lacks the bass impact that my OOOLLDDDD amp (Technics class AB) gives and i wonder why is that...

so that means the dx 90 has more than enough power to drive >100 ohm headphonees at full capacity (dont mistake with volume)is that right?

Thank you for youre reply:) oh and i forgot to ask one more thing,which is the maxium output power of the dx90 because i plan in the future to buy another pair of headphones till 100 ohm impedance and  i would like to know if the dx is capable of driving them at their fullest without aditional...

I am still confused but i will make this last post and hope you can help me with a devenitive answer.   Leaving the ergonomics behind i just want a good answer for both X5 and DX 90 in terms of sound quality, i will be paring one of them with my curent headphones SENNHEISER AMPERIOR so the...

So at the end of the day how will you describe each dap and wich would you recomend as an all rounder? As DAP,USB DAC and  functionalyties.....

well  its clear you dont like the x5 even if it had 100,000$ electronics in it........ ,i like the sound to be alive with body and clear i dont consider myself a basshead but for electronica you need a good bass reproduction, i like to have a wide sound stage BUT to wide and some music that is...

off course but considering some of the reviews here i lean twords the x5 becaus of its stronger internal amp and body off the sound but i like the ergonomics on the dx 90 more ........ duno

well now im completley in a mist.....:( i dont have where to audition them thats why i need some onest opinions on both....

what do you mean by "better for modern music"?

other opinions?  

Heloo i am new in the audio world and i would like to buy a dedicated DAP.My curent headphones are the Sennheiser AMPERIOR ( maybe other headphones will come later:P)and the music i listen  varies from electronica,rock,hiphop etc....to clasical but 50% of the music i listen is...
