Seeking custom IEMs ~$1200
TL;DR: Recommend me custom IEMs in range of 1200$/€/£ :) Long-form post: Hey all, returning to Head-Fi after a long break blowing all my student loan on Magic cards :p I had some Earsonics SM64s a couple of years ago, but sadly after ~4 years of love and daily use, the shells crumbled beyond...- NawiLlih

Obscure Chinese DAPs
Looks like it's a "Smart D-100" according to the pictures. Might be a name to watch out for soon :)- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
I had seen the Microshar G3 already as well and it looked quite appealing. However, if it suffers from EMI I think I'd have a lot of trouble using it :/ I may well be streaming over data in the future, so no EMI is another essential that I should have put in the OP.- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
The Mojo being about £100 over my budget is just way too much, the first two hundred can be justified, three is harder, but four hundred is just too much :/- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
AP100 is a DAP without android, so it doesn't really fit what I'm looking for. The EQ on the Fiio X5 is basically useless, it really doesn't do what i want it to. I'll be using my X5 to DAC for my PC, I'm looking for an amp with a different sig for my portable rig.- NawiLlih

Okay, thanks for the clarification :) Back to hardware, Is the general consensus around Head-Fi still that the HA-2 is best-in-class?- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
Given that I use nothing higher than CDQ FLAC or WAV, will i actually need a hi-res driver? Or is this just the driver for the dac/amp? Sorry if this is a n00b question but I know next to nothing about DACs...- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
The M4 is just a down-specced Z3, so if it's a software feature, I think it will support it. The choice isn't only between those two, they were some that I had found and liked the look of :) If there are any other models I should look at instead, I'd appreciate recommendations. The HA-2 is...- NawiLlih

Thinking of swapping my DAP for DAC/Amp - Thoughts?
Hi Head-Fi, I've been using a DAP + IEMs as my audio setup for as long as I've been interested in good sound, but recently I've hit a bit of an impasse. I love the sound of my Fiio X5, but the UI is starting to get to me, with time-consuming scrolling, no cue feature and the distinct lack of...- NawiLlih

Obscure Chinese DAPs
Well for the people who wanted a larger Jack it was the only option, I'm only confused because dropping a popular option seems a bit like shooting themselves in the foot... Not enough storage on Colorfly players for my tastes anyway, so I'm ambivalent...- NawiLlih

Oddly enough, with everyone saying they hate the looks of the Monitor 08, as I said earlier I love it, and a few of my non-audiophile friends agree with me(!) And we're all trendy teens :P- NawiLlih

"Extreme Shield" IEMs- are these legitimate? {UPDATE 30/5/14} Yes they are legit- Pics and impressions!
From the amount of satisfied customers and how long they've been available, I'm guessing they weren't very 'limited' :3- NawiLlih

Capacity and the new astell kern DAC's
I have no idea why there aren't two card slots as well, and would be interested to know - my FiiO X5 managed two SD slots and that cost me less than a seventh of an AK240. Admittedly, it doesn't have internal storage, but micro SD cards/readers really don't take up a lot of space...- NawiLlih
