I have the One X+ (International) and a Sennheiser IE8i headset. Of all the players I tried, PowerAmp was the only one that made my flac files sound significantly better. It really goes into hi-fi territory. Also noticed that it sounds best with the equalizer turned off (though some eq presets...

Yes, please, can someone compare the usb dac from pha-1 with Dragonfly, Dacport, Pico, etc. Cheers

I see, thanks for explaining.

Quote: I was thinking about the Dacport LX which I read it can drive sensitive iem's pretty good. I thought the volume is controlled from the computer. Could it be the same with the CLAS -db in case of usb connection? Or even hooked to an iDevice - control its volume from there.

Does anyone know if the CLAS can drive low impedance (16 ohm) iems directly, without an amp? Thanks.

The real game changer lies in the new connector - all digital and faster. Soon all kind of tempting stuff will emerge that will make good use of it.
