Hi,
im currently thinking about upgrading my mobile audio setup. Right now im using an upgraded iPod 5.5G with a 240GB Hdd and Rockbox currently i only use my Sennheiser CX980 with it, my Beyerdynamic DT770 are a bit too much for the headphone-out of the iPod.
So i did a little bit of research and stumbled upon Fiio.
Now im torn between getting a Fiio X3 or X5 and send my iPod into retirement or getting a LOD Cable and the Fiio e12 and use those with my iPod.
I tried to find some kind of comparison between the sound quality of the X3/X5 and an iPod 5.5G but i didnt really find a satisfying answer.
It really comes down to these 2 Questions:
1. Is the amp in the Fiio X3/X5 powerful enough to drive standard Headphones (80-300 Ohms)
2. Is the sound quality from the Fiio X3/X5 noticeably better than with the iPod 5.5G and the Fiio e12
Also i do listen to a lot of 320Kbps MP3's and not only losless files
