Would you say the Fiio x1 is best entrance into audiophile player or is there another one that I should consider? In your opinion which player is better than the sansa clip +, the Ruizu or the xduoo x2?

Thank you for the detailed response, I think I will go with the Fiio x1 and save up for it as it does seem to be the better option.

I am some what new to the audiophile game and made a portable set up last year based on reviews on this site and other various headphone sites. It consisted of a Sansa clip+ rockboxed + Pa2v2 amp + sony mdr-7506, it was a great set up and it played heavy metal so thick and clean it would make...

Try using elastic bands or any bands in general. I got tired of the bands so I am using a case logic camera case to hold my ipod 2g and amp in one place. Also I am thinking of getting a sansa clip+, sansa zip to replace my ipod 2g because I want to try something different; is it worth it to...

It works wonders in my car; definitely give it try  

I tried Rockbox and found it confusing and I couldn't get a proper theme for the interface. I don't know how to get songs onto the ipod and get the right settings to bring out the best of every song; I want nice heavy bass for bands like a tribe called quest and daft punk as well as crisp/clear...

I need some headphones for when I'm riding my bike because earbuds just keep falling off.
