Endgame portable over ear advice (please help!!)
You've auditioned them out? If you still cannot make up your mind, it's because they all have more or less similar frequency response. Just get one that is most comfortable to you.- ILoveGrado

Review by 'ILoveGrado' on item 'NAD Electronics VISO HP50 Noise-Isolating Over-Ear Headphones'
I've always dreamed of a simple life, where one headphone, one amp, one DAC, one cable, will suffice. Alas, it's never meant to be. You see, in the Air Force, they have what is known as Multirole Fighter, much like the F-35 Lightning and its variants. Oh, I'm sure the top brass would love to...- ILoveGrado

Speaking of ESS9018, why not use ESS9012 instead? it's more upscale than ESS9018 Mobile Version looking at the spec. It's on par with ESS9018 in stereo performance withouth the hassle of paralleling the DACs- ILoveGrado

ESS9018 with the amp section of an E12 connected would be ideal for me. I am not sure I am willing to use anything bigger than the enclosure of the E12. Think about it, 5" android phone with the thickness of an X5? it's just too much- ILoveGrado

That is what I am hoping as well. All my favorite amp like RA1 and O2 uses NJM4556A, that is my wish to James Fiio.- ILoveGrado

What chip do you guys think Fiio will use for the amp section for this X1? Looking at history, Fiio normally uses similar chip from their other product line, e.g. OPA1612+ dual LMH6643 in their Kunlun for their X5, and AD8397 from their E11 for their X3. If I have to guess, they probably are...- ILoveGrado

O2 AMP + ODAC
in that case, it is not the O2 that drives your speakers...what your speakers "see" is just the output of its internal amp..no matter what you put before the internal amp...unless you remove the internal amp, it will become unecessary for you to put O2 in the signal chain. in which case I dont...- ILoveGrado

O2 AMP + ODAC
Besides recharging the battery, the AC adaptor will allow you to accept true line out (2V) without fear of clipping the input stage. It is recommended to use AC adaptor when you are going to use it with ODAC or any desktop source. I think the battery mode will only accept 1.5-1.7 V of input...- ILoveGrado

Review by 'ILoveGrado' on item 'JDS Labs Assembled Objective2 Headphone Amplifier'
I have always loved the Grado RA1 which uses the high output NJM4556 op amp. It was one of my very first introduction to the world of headphone amping, and for years it was the mainstay of my main listening rig, both desktop and portable. The JDS O2 amplifier is using similar op amp(s) for its...- ILoveGrado

iPhone 5C and 5S: audio output
In the Diagram for CS42L73, you will see that the line output of this codec connects to external class D amplifier. Apple might use this amplifier not for line-out but for driving the tiny built in spkrs.- ILoveGrado
