Looking for a good DAP to drive my Shure SE846's with authority. The X5II is on top of the list so far, but looking for equal or better options if there are any. Thanks!

I think the Acoustic Research m20 sounded fantastic and it's on sale until Monday for $560 or something like that.

Thanks, looking into it now...
 
EDIT: The M20 looks fantastic and I would love to try it out. Unfortunately, it is not available on Amazon, which is a requirement right now...

I actually prefer the X5 over the X7.

Well, I cant help you there, using the for sale threads here is how I got my AK240 and what I suggest to get great gear for great prices.

Heard this player hooked up to the Pioneer SE-Master1 and one of their amps in-between. Sounded great and had a versatile UI. Just remember to reflash the player after getting it.
