The HiBy R6 Pro, Cayin N6ii, and LTPG Touch have comparable power, and the iBasso DX150/200/220 with Amp8 has more power than any of those. Now the Cube has the most power of any DAP, but on the pure SQ front is still a bit of a mystery to me as ample comparisons to other DAPs and sources are limited at best, and existing reviews read more like press releases than actual reviews.One interesting thing here: Looks like the new technology IEMs with electrostatic drivers are pretty hard to drive. I read somewhere that the SP1000 was not able to properly drive (if I am not mistaken) the VE Elysium and an extra amp was needed. I am talking about an IEM! Similar thing also with the RHA CL2 planars. So, the output power of SP2000 and Cube (and also the Cayin N8) might be the next high end DAP standard for next generation of IEMs.
