Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot
Thanks for the recommendations. I have read good things about the IFI Micro but looking for something portable, so will most likely be picking up the X5iii when the local retailers get more stock. The Black Label will be something I hope to add to my inventory at a later date.- New2thegame

Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot
Thank you. I like warmth but crave a player that can provide a wide sound stage when the music requires it. Will hopefully be picking up the X5 in the next few weeks but will test out the AK70 at a local store before I do. Decisions, decisions.- New2thegame

Anyone own a AK70 and X5 iii and willing to offer an opinion on the differences in their sound signatures? I will mainly be using the ibasso IT03 and the B&O H6. Leaning towards the X5 iii due to the flexibility of the device but I love the form factor of the AK70.- New2thegame

Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread
Has anyone tried the HD650's with the Korg DS DAC 100M and their proprietary software, Audiogate 4? I've been listening to this little DAC/headphone amp for the past week and I'm highly impressed. Even more impressive is the price, I can't believe there hasn't been more said about this DAC on...- New2thegame

New Beyer DT1350
Received my dt 1350's on Saturday. Initial impressions with the combo mentioned are good. Mids and vocals sound as they should and the bass is present whenever the song requires it. It's not over emphasised like the dt 770's but with the voyager contour switch set to on, the bass is punchy and...- New2thegame

Graham Slee Voyager : The End of Audio Voyage?(Appreciation Thread)
I think the 555's sound just right with the contour switch on, where as my DT 770's sound better with it off.- New2thegame

Graham Slee Voyager : The End of Audio Voyage?(Appreciation Thread)
The voyager has breathed new life in to my Sennheiser hd555's. Throw on the contour switch and they absolutey rock,vocals are clear, and these bass light hp's have managed to find a level I never expected them to reach. This little box continues to impress.- New2thegame

New Beyer DT1350
I have a pair on order. Needing something that is portable to replace my sennheiser cx300's, and reading through this thread, these sound just the ticket. Debated whether to spend my money on the sennheiser hd650's but the need for portability outweighed in the favour of the dt 1350's. Pairing...- New2thegame

Graham Slee Voyager : The End of Audio Voyage?(Appreciation Thread)
New to the forum but have been lurking for a while. Recently purchased the Voyager as an upgrade to what I consider the very capable Fiio E11 for the price. Intial impressions weren't positive (paired with my Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 Ohm with about 30 hrs on them, ipod classic, a Pure i-20...- New2thegame
