Hi,
I'm planning to buy a DAC/Player but still can't decide which one should I buy. Let's start.
I listen mostly Rock/Metal genres (Progressive Rock like Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater; Heavy Metal like Accept, Iron Maiden etc.; Also Instrumental Rock like Joe Satriani).
I currently don't have any DAC/Player. I used to have a clip zip. Now listening from my pc (Asus Xonar D2x sound card), my phone (Samsung S4) and my Laptop (onboard sound card ).
I have Shure SRH840, Ostry KC06, Trinity Audio Delta (from Kickstarter campaign) and Flare Audio R2A. But I usually use Trinity Audio Delta.
Now, I use my phone to listen music, while working use my computer and again use my phone to listen music. (home -> work -> home ) My music archive is mostly FLAC.
I found FiiO X1. It is good enough but can't use as USB DAC. X1's price is $99.I also found an used X3 (1st gen) for $120 (sold ). Also there is X3 2nd gen for $199 but I don't know should I pay 80 bucks more than X3 1st gen.
Which one should I buy? Or other suggestions?
Thanks,
