Thinking about getting an iriver cd player
I am using an iMP 550 SlimX player for years now and I could not be more pleased. It has everything I wish, it's a very versatile player with lots of formats playback, remote control, optical out and it's slim Never had any problems with this player. Highly recommended.- fl00r

iAudio X5(L) Remote Spotted On eBay Now
Didn't know the X5 remote was so wanted. I have one lying in the drawer, hardly used (I needed the HP out of my X5 to connect to my amp). Shoot me a PM if you're interested.- fl00r

Is the K701 the wrong cans for me? Or is it a amp issue?
Recently I got my hands on a Stello HP100 to complement my DA100 and I love every minute listening to this setup both with HD650s and K701s. Coming from a Darkvoice 336i this is a major step up. Highly recommended.- fl00r

Got it coming! Is there a consensus on which opamps (both amp and dac) work best with H120 and ER4p? Also, are there short toslink cables to interconnect H120 and D1? Thanks, Ben- fl00r

New Portable Amp/Dac: iBasso D1 **with updates on the first page**
I ordered an Iriver H120 last week (to replace my broken X5). I currently use a Supermacro III V.6 as a portable amp. Question is: will it be worthwhile to get the D1? In other words, will it be an notable upgrade over the Xin only? Thanks, Ben- fl00r
