hm602 is mroe expensive than x. hm602 will be 300-400$ based on what Nankai had posted.

Waiting for some impressions :D

Its one of the best ways to get the best sounding dap. And it costs really low considering its sound quality.

Man, I gotta read it xD And for sure, im gonna pm you warp :P Im still waiting for you to get JH-3a/JH16 and if it would be possible: hm602 and em3pro and westone es5, so I could know a guy who got all the stuff that im considering xd

Clip+ or Fuze rockboxed if size and sq does matter as a prior. I wont mess up your head with sflo2 or sony x1050 since it might be better, but only might and it really depends on rest of your system/rig and on your music prefferences. But, you cant go wrong with those two sansa's.

I think that ath-m50 amp isnt really needed. Im basing on its spec's, not by experience. Clip+ is great dap. uDac is very cheap, so I think the best way to see if its needed, is just buying it. If you wont like it, you could return it using return policy or you could sell it for a bit...

It isnt a no-go for audiophiles, since many audiophiles are audiophile about a one kind of audiophile stuff: portable headphone or home headphone or home speakers or caraudio stuff. iPods dont sound bad, those sound good, but not very good if youre used to listen to high-end(lets say 1000$++)...

Cowon i9 <<<< Fuze and Clip+ rockboxed

I think that just sending your imod to RWA is better way. It will get better battery, better parts which are supposed to lack in quality and you could incrase your storage capacity.

Damn, I gotta borrow one from one of mine mates and try it. It could be good choice for highend iems.

Im gonna try it, but still not shure if it will works, like other newest realeses, its just a prototype imo.

if SQ is an prior I wouldnt put s9 here... I would consider   iPod Touch (2nd Gen) Sansa Clip+ Rockboxed Sansa Fuze Rockboxed maybe used Sony X1050 or maybe a Sflo2, but you cant go wrong with the first three  

If you consider only those two, I would personally go for sflo2. Basing only on what Ive heard from friend who got gumstick(thats hisoundaudio rocco) and sflo2 and he strongly prefers sflo2.

You know polish a bit I see :) Ty też się 3maj :) Pozdrawiam   Well, let the topic roll!

Well, I was about that I dont want big devices. And I want a dap. Hifiman 801 already is way better choice than using ihp+external amp+external dac like sonosax or so. If you read my whole post I was tellling that I want a ONE device that got great dac section, good amp section and is...

Well, Im also intrested in JH3a/JH16 :P   Well, shigzeo and GuyDebroad got JH13 and Em3pro and bada bing got jh13 and sm3. All three impressions convince me to go for em3pro / or / sm3 and jh16/jh3a(based on that bada bing heard jh13, jh3a/jh16 and sm3 :))   Talking about amount of...

shane55: Im tired and dont want to search for what you want to tell me by linking that topic :) So, Im gonna ask you: do you like the way im thinking and agree with my statements or it was a sarcasm and you wanted to show/tell me your disagreement?

Maybe Im wrong.... <lol> I were lost in what Violinvirtuoso had post. Un/compressed/flac/wav make me thinking something is wrong in what he's saying.

At the begining I would like to admit that Im very sorry for mine english. Well, mine english grammar is very low ;/ I had been learning english for 6 years, but Ive werent really intrested with english(I always loved chemistry and biology :D), so Ive never used to learn english at home and...

Try some audiophile music - Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis and original recordings, not crap files downloaded for free from internet you will hear the difference between mp3 and flac and will stop asiding with sceptics ;)

Well, i still got mp3 320kbps and wav and alac versions of the same singles taken from original cd recordings on my players and i tested differences with westone 3, westone um3x, pico slim and protector se mode, and: the diference between looseless vs mp3 was bigger than between unamped an...

Violinvirtuoso: loseless and compressed/uncompressed cant be used at the same time. Looseless means uncompressed, no matter what kind of audio codec it is, its uncompressed by its nature.

My advice: 1. Sell your alo rx. You will get 350$ or more. 2. Sell your cable connecting clip+ with alo rx. 3. Sell your hfi-780 and shure iems. You will have about 600-700$ extra. Add the 150-300$ your going to spend on sflo2/j3/x1050/a845 So, now you got around 900$. Add(lent or...

Ericp10: Youre right. Sting were and is great. This album is also one of his bests albums including The Police albums. My favourite and one of mine reference samples is Shape of my heart ;)    

Amp - for iems <30ohm, it sensless, but well, try it on your own. Waste your money on portable amp like pico slim or other SE amp and see how big is the difference, if there is any....
