Hahaha Be happy you can save tonnes of money =)

True true ! For portable rig I don't even use high res files, mostly streaming from Tidal/Spotify. As portable rig should be for lite and simple casual listening (Mostly EDM and POP), living in Singapore an immensely populated country, I can never have the peace to have any serious listening...

Can only give you a good review after i use it for a few days as its only fair to do so

Fast update... For portable on the go usage: IPHONE X Bluetooth > Q5S Balanced 2.2mm Out > Campfire Andromeda I prefer Bluetooth connection to wired as wires are SUPER ANNOYING. Imagine carrying a Phone plus Q5S in a bundle with cables inbetween. To me that is just a big NO NO as when i...

I will compare the Q5s to RME-ADI 2 DAC to SMSL SU 8 + THX AAA 789 to either my ZMF Aeolus, Campfire andromeda or E-MU Teak and see if it's worth the money.... exciting times....

OMG I just got a reply from stereo electronics to collect my Q5s! FINALLY!

I'm so thankful for the great help you guys have given me, headfi really got one of the best community out there.

Good day guys! I have recently bought a set of Massdrop THX AAA 789 to pair with my RME-ADI 2 DAC for the balance output but now I'm facing a problem. As previously I'm using RME-ADI 2 DAC to feed my JBL LSR305 via Balance XLR out, now with my new addition THX AAA 789 I'm running it with RME...
