Mytek Announces Clef Mobile MQA DAC/Amp @ CES 2017
The Clef is a DAC/Amp combo and getting both iFi portables (LE is a DAC from what I can read, iCan is an amp) will cost $328, double the equipment/size to carry. I think the X-Duoo XD-05 is an interesting alternative. Different folks, different strokes.- sil3ntscr3am

Shanling M5 Impressions & Discussion Thread
That's unfortunate to hear as the M1 is able to OTG... But at least the M5 has digital coax, which is nice (albeit requiring another cable).- sil3ntscr3am

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
I didn't get to fully compare both for an AB comparison as there were others waiting in line to try the unit... For the quick impression between both, I felt the non-BL was a smidge darker (YMMV, only 2 tracks) than the BL. But the 3D+ and Xbass+ effects were more pronounced on the BL, which I...- sil3ntscr3am

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Just tried out the new BL at Stereo (Singapore). Sounded great with Meze 12 Classics, Audeze EL8O and Senn HD650. Fed from iPhone via CCK. Personally for me, I would veer towards the BL instead of the Schiit Jotunheim because of the flexibility of what the BL has to offer for desktop and...- sil3ntscr3am

Sennheiser x Massdrop HD6XX Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
I second the iFi iDSD Micro (the new Black Label). Tested it out with a HD650 (waiting for HD6XX) and it's more than sufficient to drive it well. The 3D+ effect is an ear opener as it did bring out some of the details in my tracks that I listened to. Some will find it gimmicky, but I thought...- sil3ntscr3am
