Using an external amp with the Fiio X1 seeems totally unnecessary, unless you are using 600 ohm headphones. I find that even just the Fiio X1 is annoying to carry , especially in a shirt pocket. My Fiio X1 stays home. I use a much smaller and lighter player(the Sandisk Clip+) portably.
As I said, I know that the X1 has enough power, but I like the idea of experimenting with amps to see the change in sound. The good thing is that I can take out the amp when I need it to be truly portable or I can stack it when size and weight is not an issue, plus having more battery.
