  Just posted my review of these gems:

I really feel like these deserve a lot, lot more attention - the more time I spend with them, the stronger I feel that way. 

 
Excelent review, Serena. My public congrats

Welcome, welcome Paulus XII. You get the FLC 8S yet?

Not yet. But should be arriving at anytime

  Anyone use a portable amp and have a recommendation for the FLC8S? I recently bought a Cayin C5, but I prefer FLC8S without it. My source is AK100ii

 
I use the VE RunAbout amp with my FLC8S. The pairing is pretty amazing even though it needs to be on the absolutely lowest volume setting. The amp has an extremely rock bottom noise floor, so makes it quite versatile with hungry and sensitive IEMs/headphones.

Yeah, VE Runabout is great but it is another amp I prefer with my DX90, so I have more control over volume.

Why you wanna amp the FLC 8S instead of just using the AK100ii's amp stage @gasmonkey?

I was actually going to suggest C5 because I think a warmer amp would be nice. How about ALO Rx? That's a great amp tuned solely for compatability with IEM.

 
I have both, and the more transparent AK100ii is better in bringing out the character of the FLC8/S compared to the C5. The C5 warmed things up but I prefer adjusting the bass through the nozzles instead. I use C5 for my planar headphones that need more power.
 
Ever considered the Mojo? I'm still using it in its early stages, and A/B-ing with my Angies I find the Mojo to have an even cleaner and more transparent sound. If that's your thing.

I think I quoted the wrong post. Sorry @nmatheis 
@gasmonkey the post above is for you.

Yup. No Mojo for me yet. I should be getting in to try out soon, though...

Looking forward to your thoughts especially vs the DN2KJ's

Well, you know, the FLC8S stole my money for the Mojo....

It's an excellent DAC/Amp, sure, but getting a good collection of phones/IEMs is a better idea before changing the source. I think you're on the right track. I got it for a killer portable setup, but my desktop setup is basically nil.
 
Who knows, in 2 years Mojo 2 might be out.
