Hi guys,   I have a bit of a problem choosing my next phone (sound wise of course). Should I get LG G3 (built-in Cirrus Logic CS35L32 DAC) or the Motorola G3 and Cozoy Astrapi external USB DAC (I can get both of sets in the same price ~260 USD)? I really care about big sound stage and clarity...

Hi,   I just want to say, that BlackBerry Z30 + Neutron Music Player + Havi B3 Pro1/Shure SRH440 is my portable dream come true. This phone is sounding pretty awesome!

  Ok, as no one answered, I will do it myself  Having BB Z30 + Neutron Music Player and Havi B3 Pro1/Shure SRH440 phones renders the Fiio X1 obsolete. I can't hear much difference. The sound is neutral, crisp with huge stage and great separation. Really great gear! 

Hi,   Can anybody compare BB Z30 to Fiio X1?

Hi,   Can anyone compare the Z30 sound quality to Fiio X1? I'm thinking about getting a phone with good audio quality to get rid of my DAP.

  I bought used X1 from my friend. All hell broke loose when I paired it with my Havi's and SRH440    Can't wait to pair it with Dunu Titans!

My friend will lend me his X1 for a few days, so it will be easier to make the final decision 

  I'm not a bass head at all so it is really a question of UI vs SQ

Hi,   I was going to buy NWZ-A15 and use it with Havi B3P1, but I began to wonder if buying cheaper X1, selling Havi's and buying some better IEM's wouldn't be better idea. So the question is: A15 + Havi B3 Pro 1 or X1 + some $100 IEM's (eg. DUNU Titan)?

Right about twice my budget

Yeah, but the loudness is not everything. The SQ on 638 is very mediocre.     I want to get the international version but it will be more expensive and I'll have to wait some time for it. I have the EU version within reach of my hand, but I'm afraid that it will under perform with Havi's...

I'm temporally using NWZ-S638F. My Havi's play loudly at 17/30 volume. Will the A15 have the same power? If so, I wonder if I should be buying the non-EU version or the volume-limited one.

Great, thanks    

Hi guys,   I'm just a step from buying NWZ-A15 (without EU sound restrictions), but I would like to know that it will handle my Havi B3 Pro and Shure SRH440 without external amp. Will it drive them without any problems?

I've read in several reviews, that A-15 SQ is superior to X1, and the size comparison between X3 II and DX50 show that they are nearly the same:   X1: 96.7 mm×57.7 mm×14.1 mm X3 2nd: 96.7 x 57.7 x 16.1 mm DX50: 100 x 64 x 17 mm   The thickness is where Sony wins: 43.6 x 109 x 8.7mm

I've heard about Nova N3 but I don't like the interface. Those pixels/squares are not appealing to me I think I'll go with international version of Sony NWZ-A15 (no EU volume restrictions), because X3 II is nearly the same size as DX50, and that's what I want to avoid.

Okay, the final contestants are Fiio X3 II, Sony NWZ-A15 and Xuelin IHIFI 700c. Any thoughts?

  Great, thx!   Could somebody make Fiio X3 2nd vs NWZ-A15 comparison?

I'm living in Poland and I would like to buy A15 without EU volume restrictions. Any advice?

I've read in IHIFI 770 review that in terms of SQ it stands between DX90 and X5. Is that true also for 770c?

  I would like to read some comparison too. Especially with the upgraded 770C

I think the same. I need something small but with decent amp section.

Hi,   I'm selling my modded iBasso DX50 (Panasonic FC caps) because I need something more portable (It's too big for my pocket). I'm thinking about Sony NWZ-A15, Xuelin IHIFI 770C or something else.   Will there be any smaller DAP with similar SQ within 180 EUR price range? I want it to be...

Anyone heard about the -> Z1 <- player?

A slight upgrade:   - iBasso DX50 with Panasonic FC caps mod, - Shure SRH440 with cable from eBay, SRH840 pads and Sennheiser band foam, - Havi B3 Pro with ear hooks and foams from Penon Audio
