What do you want to try with X7 that the IEM module won't drive Barra?

What HP are you looking at?

Haven't decided yet. Oppo PM3 or Hifimans.. something Planar
 

@Vividcard: You should've driven up to PDX Monday night. @grizzlybeast ended up bringing his ZMF OMNI with Blackwood cups. SO EPIC!!!

I didn't get off til like 7:20.... long call... Would've loved to listen to those than a complaining customer, believe me

Jkjk, kind of. Have you tried them?

Thats a big negatory... waiting for them to arrive for review the the tour... by my estimates, should be here round mid November

Wait and see if you like them IMHO.

If you haven't seen it, here's my take on them (LINK). I definitely wasn't as keen on them as some others.

That's why I'm on the tour to try em . How do you feel about the HE-400 series?

So reading between the lines, you like the 400 more the the S, correct? Because I am looking for the old 400 and maybe make some mods. Might even by a used set from the forums here.

Vividcard: Yup, you got it. Did you really have to read between the lines?

  When my wife wants to know why I spent another 300-400 dollars on headphones, I'm going to tell them it's Fiio's fault for sending me a DAP worthy of the the new cans!

 
I see what you did there.
 
Once you get the new cans, you'll have to send the tour X7 on its way. Then you'll have to get your very own X7 to properly support the new cans. 
 
From here on out, I am WATCHING YOU VERY CAREFULLY. 
 
 
 
(I have so much to learn.)

Somehow I think this will be more successful than just telling her it's my money and I'll do what I please with it XD

What do you want to try with X7 that the IEM module won't drive @Barra?

I am sure that the IEM module will drive my CIEMs very well, but the Hidition's scale up very well so it would be interesting to see if the various amp modules would sound better with them or maybe provide flavor variety making the X7 very versatile. The only other example of a DAP with amp modules that I know of is the 901 and most owners swear that the balanced model sounds a ton better than the standard IEM amp that comes with it - even with CIEMs - so I am interested to compare with the X7. It would be unfortunate the reviewers to give a good review rather than an awesome review due to a lessor amp or one that doesn't hit their flavor preference when there is another that nails it.
 
I have also been listening lately to my AK100ii with my HD700 and LCD2.2 and prefer the sound with an additional amp - my warm, textured, and dynamic sounding C&C BH2. That combination gets me most of the way to the SQ of the much more expensive setups that I was just listening to at RMAF/CANJAM. It would be nice to get that sound quality from just the X7 alone if one of the amp modules gets me there.
