Will do, I am a confused camper right now. Playing Bob Marley back to back, the Opus does indeed sound more neutral to me than the x5iii. Volume matched the best I could, not as accurate as @Brooko would like, but I am close (still getting my rig set up for that).

I do think I paid too close attention to the FLC's, without separating their sound characteristic from the DAP itself. Pinky and I will be getting together tomorrow, and we will sort this out.

Apologies to all for my confusion.

No problem.  I am interested in both DAPs.  Waiting patiently.  All good friend.
 
Thank you

Buy both then sell one.

I don't really sell stuff.  I am in a small town in Northern California and nobody around here is into high end audio.  Also I don't have bank accounts or credit cards so Paypal won't work and I don't like to sell stuff online.  It makes me too uneasy being at risk of a scam.

not the best but third best info. The best is from your experience.

I know.  I just don't have a place to audition audio gear in  my rural area.  Even San Francisco has very limited audio stores.  They have a small few and they don't seem to really carry daps from what I have looked up online.  Mostly they carry speakers and speaker amps and a few headphones.   Only DAPs I can find are AK stuf theref.    All of the Fry's around don't really carry Fiio in store.  That is all online.  I do the best I can with help from other  Head-Fiers.

Yup not a lot of places in the west coast in general.  i live in central and socal and can't find any place to try stuff out. 
 
The culture isn't real big, no reason to really have high end portable gear.  Everyone I know has mobile or home audio.

Hong Kong, Right Shop Audio.

That one has a stand for portrait mode. Can you run your music player in portrait mode?

I wouldn't worry about a scam, common sense is all it takes to protect you 99% of the time. I have been selling and buying here and elsewhere for years, not even a hint of a scammer yet. It is possible, but the risks are actually pretty low IMO (with common sense as I mentioned).

I can go by a try it at the shop. I always keep my daps naked.

I appreciate your words of wisdom.  I really can't sell stuff online because I have no way to pay seller fees or accept payments because I have no bank accounts, credit cards or debit cards.

 I think @Hawaiibadboy means whats the point of a landscape type case when the software is limited to portrait.
 
I asked them about the earlier case you had posted and they said it was HK$ 400.

Nothing is stopping you from watching youtube or loaded movies in Android mode. I am guessing those are the intended usage of the landscape type case.
