Yes, but buying a drgonfly black for $150is ridiculous, especially when thr item itself os worth $100

That's the tax on a small market. I haven't tried it but the Sony PHA-1A seem to fit your budget and heard good things about it. Maybe you should go try that. Otherwise it's probably Fiio will fit into your budget

Is the FLC8s crystal silver balanced cable from LMUE a 2.5mm 4p plug? 
Sorry if this has been asked or stated in the thread already...
I'm really enjoying the FLC8s paired with the Opus 1, and would like to try balanced for the first time.
 
Thanks

Did you mean 4 pole? If so, it is. It's following the AK DAP balance standard. It would work with Opus.

basically it would work with daps that offered balanced output

Really? I didnt't notice it. 

 But for sure it's a 4 pole since is balance, 2 + signal 2- signal.

Should I be looking at other options if I'm going to be using these exclusively with an iPhone or iPod unamped? Going through the thread I've seen this mentioned once so wanted to get more opinions

No I don't think so.  These are very, very easy to drive.  And while they are quite detailed, they don't tend to harshness.  You'll be fine.

Hi. I just received my FLC8S in my mail box but everything is in Chinese. Is there any manual in English regarding how to change the filters and different sound combinations?

I just slowly wiggled the small parts out. xD I was so scared the first time I did it.

Thank God FLC included this tool. I was not able to change the filters with my fingers for 20 minutes but did it in 2 secs with the provided tool. The sound is great. Will see how it fares against LZ A4 I just ordered.

How!? Using my fingers were easier than those tweezers. Definitely do tell about the LZ A4. I was deciding to choose either that or flc.
