Link to the $200 M-Stage?

"How about the Gilmore compared to the M-Stage?"


In my opinion I felt the GLite was more refined and effortless with a quieter background. The M-Stage was warmer with a little more bass impact. Even though I preferred the GL, the choice is yours as they're both fine options.

@ $300 if you can find a Gilmore Lite it will trounce the fiio. It's not even in the same league.


But the Gilmore lite has been discontinued... which IMO takes it out of the comptetion.
Is the E9 superior to the matrix m-stage?

The GLite is readily found on the Sales Forum. If you can buy one then it's not out of the competition.

wow that dynalo looks awesome.  The only thing about overseas products is the return hassle if you have to use the warranty.
 
If that wasn't a factor, I wouldn't have been so sure on pulling the trigger on my KICAS
