It looks sexy in that cond... rubber... em... case :D Does it solve issue with sharp edges?

In a meanwhile Mrobo C5 became available on Penon. Description is very Aliexpressish tho.

vapman, pashhtk27 Oops, I've mistaken it with Zishan DSD, my bad :)

pashhtk27, Maybe that Walnut that many are talking about lately

alex atPaiaudio, HiFiChris has the point, at first I was like what logo is he talking about?

It might be but doesn't has to, you better go with something that you know is good if it'll be your only dap :) It indeed looks interesting tho.

I believe Fiio is more entry level than other players you've mention so it won't probably be that big upgrade over Sansa. Also what ear/headphones do you use? Consider Xduoo X3, it's nice and has many strong sides.

GuywhoLikesHIFI, I believe M3 is more entry level than the rest. Maybe Xduoo X3 with Rockbox? It has Line Out and dual micro SD slot. I know, I know, I'm not helping :D

Dickymint How are they? I was considering them, as I lost my Audeo's, but couldn't find any info about them, are they that fresh?

seccotiez Is that a Headpie on the second photo? :D

@apaar123, NX3 doesn't have DAC, only amplifier.

Thanks ezekiel :) Rzepa will do more research and think (oh, that's gonna hurt...) what he needs :)

@ezekiel77, Rzepa loves his dap but it's a modified Ipod Video (internal amp section is bypassed in order to get more from dac) so external amp is a must. Maybe dated already but this is Rzepa's way :) What about Arrow (Arrows?)? Also thank you for yer fast reply :)

So if C5 has too much steam for sensitive IEMs, what would you recommend? Rzepa has heard Fiio E12A can also be too "loud". Is there something suitable for sensitive IEMs and less power hungry cans, like Takstar Pro80 (those are louder than Rzepa's pfe012 :D) in a price similiar to C5 or E12A...

Maybe it's just missinterpretation of something :)
