Personally I would not go for the ibasso as if you read the various threads it is very buggy. I guess if you like fiddling about with that sort of stuff great. I have had my CLAS/iPod Classic combo now for almost 12 months, all I do is plug and play, no messing around with updates to download, no buggy systems to fix and great sound, in fact, with really high quality amp and headphones incredible sound quality. I listen through an SR71-B with Final Audio Design Piano Forte IX and it is the most amazing sound.. And, no updates, no bugs. Another thing is that ibasso seem to pump out equipment at an alarming rate so the chances of all that hard earned cash being spent on something that will be out of date in less than a year is very strong with that brand.
I know that won't be a popular view as there is a lot of love for the ibasso but there it is, part of the enjoyment is not having to fuss around I feel!
Oh yes, the blackbird gives an inky black background. I use Wav files on my classic as there is plenty of storage space. Combined it might not be the cheapest option but I feel it is one of the most satisfying musically.
