I have the xba a3, and I tell you, after a few months of burn in, if I had only one it would be these, they take everything, and the point we're they distort is not at listening levels, my triple fis 10. Are nice, but I would never compare them , they were only a stepping stone into this world of audiophile and quality bass in abundance, I will continue improving quality and sound on a budget, I love this the same goes for dacs and amps, but honestly with my x5 which I got because of you and xduoox3, my cowon plenue d it's amazing we just discovered some special setting that take this player to another level, we can manually eq it, it's awsome, now I love my note phone, and my 8 inch note tablet and 10 inch note tablet with almost any amp sounds awesome, I wish the note phone would have had the wolfson the note tablets have a lot of people don't know that, and the amp also, I use my andes from fiio or anything , the 8 inch is very portable, so I'm gonna hold of on any dap until I can afford so thing nice ,maybe I can get an ak junior or dx50, dx80,dx90,just to have another small with touch screen, but with my notes, it's really just collecting
