The fiio x3 has the same amp as the fiio e17, it's actually a really good amp considering that its internal, but comparing it the the c&c bh it will lose every time.

Think of it like comparing the bh to a fiio e6

 
Not everyone agrees that the BH is the best......
 
 
 The issue with BH is, it is just not bring enough improvement for me. It fails my expectation of delivery tightness and power in the first place, and thus why it will never be quite the option I'll go for. I did try high gain - and yes, it is a lot better than low gain, but I can still detect the jump in power when an USB power supply is connected, so it is still slightly underpowered (though much less than low gain mode). Since I do own many portable amps, I have the luxury of not having to settle for less. But that's not to say BH is not a really good sounding amp among sub$100. It is just handicapped by the power section. If C&C would put in a small voltage pump and runs it at 5V instead of 3.7V, it would have been a great amp. Personally, I'll prefer a full powered amp running for 18hrs over an underpowered amp running over 80hrs, since adequate power to me is the most basic of requirement from an amp.

First the x3 is a dap with the amp similar to the e17 and the bh is just an amp

Shouldn't it more like comparing the bh to the e17?

Why just the e6?

I never meant that the bh is the best amp ever I just meant that it sounded noticeably better than the e17

Very informative - thanks for posting that! You managed to not have to trash the BH at all lol!
 
And thanks for all of the images. I didn't realize how large the C5 is - seems about the same size as my E12. I really like the size of the BH and how it fits with the C3, so I will happily continue using that combo as my portable rig for the time being.
