And I ask myself why many hate "Audiophiles"

The other thing is why would you wanna use a portable amp with this DX100 is it is so superior? I would figure it should have a comparable amp section unless it also has the same flaw the Hifiman 801 does with impedance among IEMs? In this price range that is not a good excuse... The Pico will take away from the portable factor although it is quite small itself.
Not that the DX100's amp section is not good enough (at least on paper if it is as stated that it is better than the ibasso D12), but when you change amp in this set up it is usually because you are going after a certain house sound or sq. The Pico Slim has that clean and snappy punch that I like. For others, they may want the RSA warmer house sound or I may just coax out of the DX100 into my Balance DB1 and SR71b/PB2 for bigger sound stage and may be for driving my LCD2 or HD800. I can already hear the hires sound streaming through the 9018 and into the pico slim and my jh13, Hmm, how close will it get to the 009 feel?
IMHO 24/192 is overkill and can show its advantage in high end systems only. 24/96 have an audible difference over 16/44, but I bet nobody here in blind test wouldn't recognize the difference between 24/96 and 24/192. I think 32gb 10 class microsdhc is around 55$ now, much cheaper then 64gb for 150$, just stick with 32gb.
If you mean as the benefits from diminishing returns yes. 24/96 is much more widely used and the difference is minimal if any between 24/192. Especially from a portable stand point 24/192 is just overkill and a huge waste of space.
I read something somewhere (I rally can't remember), that 24/192 might even degrade the sound.
[size=medium]Does it really improve sound [size=x-small]Piccolino[/size] cables? I heard from a lot of people that most of cables at least digital ones have absolutely no effect on sound maybe jitter but cannot change sound stage or clarity or anything important (analog has stronger argument). I’ve read a lot of reviews about [/size][size=10pt]Piccolino with jh products. Some being good and some being bad. What are your impressions about them? Are they worth 1350?[/size]
If a cable is crystal the jack needs to be crystal too.

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it's 'sold out'.
