Watching this since I'm in a similar situation - I'm looking for a decent mid-range dac for my Stax 009 and BHSE. I guess my primary criteria would be natural/neutral sound, then technicalities. My budget would be ~$6000 so dave wouldn't be a good fit. I had PS Audio Directstream several...

Those gaming headsets have far better soundstage than decent headphones, I think.

I'll say Fitear togo334 meets 1,3 and 4, cause I myself have rwak240 and togo334 with another balanced cable. I don't like the warm sound personally, so probably I'm gonna sell it. Anyway, togo334 would be one of your choice.

I don't think the SE535ltd have strong or heavy bass, even with the Oyaide upgrade cable.

I have a Q701 while my roommate has HD598. I prefer Q701 after comparison, just because of it's sound signature. HD598 is pro when you're watching movies.

Just lent three IEMs to friends... but yes, I'm willing to share my gears and meet people! 

All right, my bad  Will be careful next time.

Thank you! I tried but almost all posts are about trading, and the '+' symbol seems neglected. Adding LO doesn't help either.

Hi guys, I've been learning here for a while. I have some experience about portable audio players and IEMs. I like the environment here and decided to participate more. Nice to meet you!

I'm wondering if there's difference between the original balanced LO output and the extra LO port by RWAK240+, does it worth the money? How does the sound signature change?

According to my experience, a portable amp WILL give you better sound, even if you're using an IEM. However, as for SE215, I think upgrading IEM itself will be a better choice, as a result of the Cannikin Law.

Yeah I know I can replace it with an genuine cable, but what if I want a balanced cable made by, for example, silver plated copper?  

My er4p's cable had loose connection, so I think I need a replacement. However, hardly can I find Etymotic style pins on the market. Do you guys have any idea?

I'm also new here, and as far as I know, the AK120ii cannot power HD800, you'll need an amplifier.

Bump... Nobody knows? :(
