100+ Head-Fier
I am so close to pulling the trigger, and buying myself a DX90. I have a question though... Do people usually pair it with a headphone amp? I haven't seen any pictures of this, usually its just the DX90 on its own.
Currently, I have a FiiO X5, paired with FiiO's E12 amp, and I bought FiiO's new X1 on a whim, and paired it with the FiiO E11K.
I want to branch out, and try something other than FiiO, but I like the whole "stack" idea with an amp underneath. Is there amp people usually pair the DX90 (or even DX50) with? And if not, why not?
I don't necessarily need the amp most of the time... honestly, I just love the look of the rigs, and the oogly eyes people give you when you pull the monsters out of your pocket.
Thanks!
I've been pairing my dx90 with C5D amp on and off. When I combine those two there is a flatter response. Bass is slightly less (if I keep bass standard on C5D) and treble doesn't sparkle as much. The mids seem more up front. I love this player by itself. Someone mentioned being able to just throw it into your shirt pocket and that's what I like. No more thick stack!
If you do get it I would like to hear your impression compared to X5.
