New DAP: iBasso DX240 vs 300 vs Shanling M6 Ultra vs Fiio M15S
I currently have an iBasso DX150, it's been a great sounding DAP to me and powers my MrSpeakers AEON Flow Closed and HiFiMan Ananda well, however it is extremely slow, using it is quite frustrating because of how slow it is, and the battery life is terrible, definitely not getting anywhere near...- bose301s

I currently have an iBasso DX150 and use it with my HiFiMan Ananda, Mr Speakers AEON Flow Closed, DUNU DN-1000 and Aurisonics Rockets. It sounds great to me but the battery life sucks and it is super slow. I was wondering if there's a good upgrade from it for not too terribly much money. The...- bose301s

DUNU DN-1000 Replacement
I have a pair of DUNU DN-1000 that I quite like the sound of, but I do not like the fit/comfort. I think I have somewhat small ear canals as I start to get uncomfy and feel some pain after not too long, the size is also a bit large and hits another part of my ear and starts cause discomfort...- bose301s

Fiio X5 III vs. iBasso DX80
Currently I have both the Fiio X5 III and iBasso DX80. They both seem to have their pluses and minuses, the Fiio is so slow but has more features than the iBasso due to being an Android based DAP and it has the ViPER effects which are powerful for adjusting sound and in general offers more...- bose301s

Going on a long couple of trips in the close future and would like some on ear headphones. I currently have a couple pairs of IEMs, the Dunu DN-1000 and Aurisonics Rockets, I think I prefer the Dunus to the Rockets because they have more bass and treble, the Rockets are very mid centric.
