I'm really interested in picking up the 1540. The source I usually use is Fiio X3 2nd Gen or my Galaxy S5, and was wondering if the 1540 would work well with my current set-up. 

Thank you for your recommendations, I appreciate it. 

Hi, I'm kind of a newbie to this audio thing and I am looking to expand my music collection. I listen to a lot of different kinds of genre. Mainly Classical, EDM, Pop and Rock. Currently, I only purchase tracks from Beatport and HDTracks, so I was wondering if there are any other website...

My cable is damaged and I'm looking to get a replacement. However, I do not know whether to get the original audio only cable or the Fiio RC-MH1. Also, are there any other choices out there? Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was previously thinking of getting these. However, I'm not quite convinced yet especially after reading this thread. Also, I'm open to any other suggestions of headphones and I'll mainly use them at home as I take my M100 with me when I go out.

Thanks for the input, but in what way would it boost the X3ii? Also, there's a shop near my area where I can audition amps / headphones / in ears. Perhaps I should give the SD-2 a try. Cheers.

Thank you guys for the recommendations. I've decided to go with the Fiio X3 2nd Gen after trying it out at a shop. Also, what portable amp is recommended to go with the Fiio X3 2nd Gen? I mostly use my M100 and SE215. Thanks (again).

I've just bought the X3 2nd Gen and have used it for 3 days now. I currently use it with my M100 and SE215. I'm loving my current set-up and don't see myself changing it up anytime soon. However, I'd appreciate it if any of you could give me suggestions on how to upgrade my set-up from here...

Thank you for the more in depth description, I think I might go for the Fiio X3ii based on what you described. Cheers

Have you tried both of them?

I can't decide between the x3ii/a17. What do you guys think I should go for for overall performance? Also, I listen using the M100.

Alright, thank you for your recommendation. I'll take a good look into it. Cheers.

Thank you for the recommendation, I'll look into it and maybe I can save a little more. Cheers bro.

I owned one of these before and I liked the bass. However, once I tried the M-100's on, I never looked back. Personally, I feel the V-Moda's are better overall. Also, I even gave away my Studio's to a friend. Win-win situation for the both of us really :)

I've had my M100s for a while now and I'm loving them. I'm thinking of getting the Fiio E11 but not too sure if it's worth it, so I'd really appreciate any of your views/recommendations. Also, I listen from my iPod Nano (7th Generation) and my MSI gaming laptop.
