The DAC in the X5 is pretty damn good.
To answer your question, a separate DAC is not really required or needed!

BTW, I own an X5, an E12 and the stacking kit too. It's a nice combo.

Thats what I thought. thanks...

A question.. I thinking to buy one of these.. do you think it can be suitable for both HE 400 (high power needs at 32ohm) and Westone UM pro 30 (nearly 60 ohm impedance)?

880 mW @ 32 ohm is pretty good power figure.

Hey guys I finally finished my portable setup with the e12 and I'm using the JVC HA-SZ2000. Its terrific, the sound is amazing and the bass is great. I'm planning on getting the Grado sr80e's in January. But what I'm wondering is what other headphones would you use with the fiio e12's.
 
My setup is this: Fiio X5 > HS6 Line out > Fiio e12 > JVC HA-SZ2000. What other headphones would you use that would sound great and bass would be booming?

The E12 frequency response (like pretty much all of the amps decently engineered) is flat as an arrow.
I see you have the M50. More booming than those?

I didn't notice it before because I play my headphones on my neck so I wont go deaf quicker. But when I put my m50's on there was definitely more booming than the JVC headphone. At first I thought the JVC had more boom around my neck than the m50. But when I put the m50 on my ears booming indefinitely.

What's the Bass eq on these like compared to the kilimanjaro, can anyone advise me? thanks

There is a bass boost switch, it works as it should, but I never used it as I do not like boosted bass.

Different strokes for different folks!. I never turn the bass boost off on mine! It's not a gigantic change in the sound signature, just adds more body, weight, and slam/impact!!
