You're right. I used to read blindly his review till i found myself on head-fi, can't take his words seriously especially with all the loudness things. Nevertheless still a good job promoting the industry so that there's more competition between manufacturers. I'll be interested to hear out the Daono too... i believe it's also known as KDK-202 if not mistaken.

Totally out of budget after the 618 Taobao sales. I hesitated so much between this, TFZ exclusive 5 and ended up getting AUNE M1s instead because i wanna try out its balance output so i'm very broke now. Do you think this rivals the TFZ Exclusive King ? Have seen some Taobao reviews compared them to those 10x its price, seems too good to be missed.
To be honest I prefer it over the King. It's lighter, more comfortable and has a lower in-ear profile. The overall sound is a little warmer and doesn't get hot in the treble. Right now I'm thinking it might have a bigger soundstage too but I'd have to A/B them to be sure.

Sounds very positive. One of the reason i'm attracted to try is because it's using a single dynamic driver that features DLC diaphragm. When everyone's busy going graphene, 1More and Veedix is heading towards the DLC diaphragm application.

Ostry has a new IEM? Awesome. They were one of the originals who help start the whole craze.

I still have my trusty KC06As. Think I'm going to put them back into rotation again...

Hi, I'm looking for a Portable Headphone Amplifier preferably with a DAC between the $50-100 range.
Is there any gems to be found in this bracket? If it isn't portable but it's really good value I would consider it, or is it better to buy a good dap instead (Like the Cayin N3)?
I've been looking at these. Anyone have any experience with the Breeze E17, E47, Topping NX3, ?
I can solder so if anyone has found Good DIY stuff I will look at that too. Thanks a lot if anyone responds.

Does it have to be a DAC, or will DAP do?

And do you need bluetooth/aptX?

What is the typical impedance of the headphones and/or IEMs you're planning on driving?
