I love love love the JH 13 with my Calyx, I was worried that I would need to use the clunky adapter but it sounds great straight out of the jack. Also it shockingly drives the Audeze LCD-X  with ease and sounds stunning. 

My only quibble is the time it takes to read the cards each time I start it up and the meager battery life.

Wait for Calyx F! I think they will improve battery life in that model. It's coming within few months.

That is not a dap though but an amp correct?

I agree with previous comments. The M sounds great with my Westone ES2 customs (adapter not needed) and fantastic with my Audeze LCD-XCs and has no problem driving the XCs.

Dear, I've got a deal on a Koss ESP-950 electostatic combo. Do you think the pairing with the Calyx M will be interesting? See, I don't plan on investing in a desktop rig, so the M will be my only source for a while. I would listen to the ESP-950 at home, as the energizer isn't exaclty portable. What do you think?
 
Currently I have a SE846 and a HD650, and I'm waiting for my custom Mentor to arrive. I think the ESP-950 would be a welcome addition to the family.

Its an dac/amp combo for your desk/computer or mobile phone/source

Thats what I thought. Has Calyx released any additional information on it? I hope the case is in the same calyx brown that the M is.

Yes it is in the same calyx brown. They had one picture on facebook I think but it was deleted soon afterwards...

K3003 and calyx M has made me ignore the rest of my gears.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

lol, finally came around on the K3003 huh?

 

[Poimandres]

Anyone have the pfe 232? I am wondering how it pairs with the M. Thinking of picking a pair up.

Yea took me by a surprise. I think credit should go to calyx M 1.01.
What got me is how the bass decays and how wide it sounds while that peak treble that is evidently there when I have the k3003 plugged to something like and O2 is simply not there.

This is a great example of what synergy means.

Man I wish I'd still had the K3K when I had the M. I remember the UERM sounding awesome with the M. I'm looking forward to the Calyx PaT. I enjoyed the sound of the M, but the various aspects of its user experience really left me wanting. 

 

[audionewbi]

The sound has changed alot but it still has a number of short coming which can be significant for most.

I ended up picking up the K3003's that were originally owned by Idsynchrono_24's off another very cool Headfi'er. I received them last week and I couldn't be happier with them.
 
They sound really awesome with the M and since getting them have been in my ears more than my Lab 1's. Both the Lab 1's and the k3003 sound excellent with the M and very different. I think they compliment each other really well and I feel very lucky to have 2 outstanding iems to choose from. The K3003's (with reference filter) + M is a very powerful, resolving and energetic sound with great bass decay and excellent highs. At first I felt the highs were a bit too much but have since gotten used to them and think they are excellent. The vocal presentation is really nice also. The sound is very addictive. I also really like the high boost filter which I think has a more cohesive treble and a lovely fragile energy, not a lot of bass but a very interesting good quality bass nonetheless. The reference filter has more genre versatility though.
 
Geez I wish the M had better battery life. Flew from Aus to NZ yesterday and went straight out to do some exploring and the M ran out of juice even though I charged it on the plane.
