    IPod Classic + FiiO e11 vs FiiO X3 vs iBasso DX50

    I've been looking at the possibility of replacing my iPod Classic, which has started wigging out on me lately.  It's a 2005 model so I think it's about time for an upgrade.  There are three DAPs I'm considering in the same general price range, all of which I'd be listening to through my HiFiMan...

    Good Portable DAP for use with M4U1

    Hey everyone,   I ordered a set of M4U1 headphones, and have been wrestling with what DAP to go with as a good pair. I've been looking at x1-x5 fiio and dx50-90 ibasso so far.  But to be honest, I am lost in the reviews of all of them.  Maybe information overload at the moment.  My initial...

    TotL closed-back suggestions

    Title says it all. Wish to have some suggestions for TotL closed-back headphones for my next upgrade over the summer. I prefer a smooth warm-ish bassy sound signature.

    Headphone recommendations for under $600?

    I don't care if they are open or closed but I want to be able to drive them relatively easy. I listen to mostly hip-hop/rap so I want very good and powerful bass but don't want it to overpower the mids and highs. Other genres I listen to would be rock, r&b, and some pop I guess. I am also...

    I've been researching the DX50 extensively for the past few days and since everyone is seems to be drooling over firmware 1.2.8's sound quality and (relative?) stability, I'd made my decision to buy it.  Then, in the middle of my elation I stumbled into a forum post saying the RE-400s are a poor...

    Fiio X5 or DX50/DX90

    I am looking to get into the HD music player market (mainly for the storage capacity) and I am having a hard time deciding which one I should get. I do plan on using my AKG 240s with it as I understand they all have enough power to drive them. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Really confused: iBasso DX50 or Fiio X5?

    These days I read in the forum hundreds of pages related to the X3, the X5, the DX50 and DX90. Based on my needs, I realized that I should probably buy the DX90, but at present, buying in Europe, this DAP is out of budget for my pocket. I have rejected X3 (perhaps wrongly) as from your...

    opinions needed for better portable setup

    Which combo would be better suited for iems? Don't necessary require a lot of power.   My main priorities is to have no background noise/hiss at any volume, channel unbalance (at low volume) or IF interference when outdoor.    I already own the Fiio E11 and using it with a L9 LOD to my ipod...

    Sd to micro sd adapter extender

    Another way of using an SD card with the DX50 is this adapter extender: http://tinyurl.com/mbdfpk2 Inexpensive at $15.99 and shipping is free. Perhaps it is a bit unsightly, but should do the job.
