Greetings,
The big question is which DAPs work best with customs IEMs and why?
The rest (see below) is more specific to me...
I'll be purchasing the CT7's from Sleek Audio. I'll be needing a DAP(s) to accompany them. I'll need at least two DAP's. I say at least because i doubt there is one DAP that is ideal.
DAP 1 - for exercising needs to be ultra-portable
DAP 2 - any other time-can be anysize
I listen to Trance and Scream/PostHardcore
I had orginaly thought the Sansa Clip could fit both needs but then i got this message from Shizago:
Shizago: " For electronic the CT7 is perfect. I have a clip, too, and while it is good, the CT7 is sensitive and reveals a lot of hiss from it. I use rock box and an external card and every 15 or 20 seconds, the clip reads from it and makes a squealing sound. It is bad. If you can get beyond that, you will like it though hiss is higher than I like.
My iPod touch I prefer (4G) for its noise floor, its stereo width, and because gapless songs just play without any tricks."
Then i read this thread about sansa clip and hiss
I think in the end for exercise the sansa clip/zip is going to be it for me, espcially considering shizago is using them (i assume) for his portable dap.
Any help would be great
Thanks
