I found a case that works pretty well, the player shifts a little, but not enough to concern me. This will suit me well for the occasional trip outside of the house. I’ve always been uncomfortable taking it out of the house if not protected.

Pretty inexpensive to, under $20.

Here’s some pics. It even comfortable holds my U12Ts and Valkyries.

Thanks, as good as I feel the Stellia is and I do find it amazing it’s a difficult recommendation if you can’t listen to it before buying due to how expensive it is although I do recommend people to give it a listen if you are curious and can afford it, as it is something you need to hear for yourself.
The majority of my amps are tubes or tube hybrid as I personally prefer things to the warmer side of neutral with some body and slam when appropriate without being overly bright. My bedroom setup consists of Ifi pro idsd and pro ican which I run in tube or tube + mode and power wise that stack is just overkill on the Stellia as they are easy to drive but it does sound amazing.
I do look forward to seeing how alll my HP do with the DX300, the M11 pro had the power to drive my Arya, fairly well and the Radiance / Stellia very well so I expect the DX300 to be amazing with headroom to spare for a one box solution for travel.
I even entertained the thought of adding the C9 as a amp but I already have a mirco iDSD BL that I can use for additional amping if needed whilst traveling.
Thanks for the answer. Yes, the Stellia is such a thing if you can't listen to them before buying. I think I'd better wait until I'm back in Germany in June next year. But now I thought about ordering the Focal Celestee Blind because it doesn't cost 3 Mille. , Test reports sound pretty good. I had the Focal Elear a good 5 years ago where I was very at peace with. But I would prefer a closed one. Has anyone here happened to hear the Celestee with DX 312?

The Stellia, IMO, with the DX300 and AMP12 is a very good pairing. A little more open sounding than a most closed phones, dynamic and musical.

Are they being driven to 90% to max capabilities like a desktop amp could? I'm thinking of going the dx300 route with my Clear but wanted to know if it drives them to their full potential.

Thanks it’s Nice to hear from someone who has experience with the combo although the DX300 will mainly be used with the Radiance while out of the house, the scaleability of all my HP always impresses me hopefully the DX300 will be just as impressive with my Arya I will find out later today.
I have even used my BTR5 to drive them all before with surprising results.

Yes, that is very reasonable, AMP 11 MKII and AMP 12 must first be branded in before you can form a final judgment. AMP 12 is really good after 250-300 hours !! So let him go until the doctor comes !!:k701smile::k701smile::k701smile:

Thank you for your judgment. I have now decided to try the Focal Celestee first. For 2 reasons: My dealer has the Celestee in stock here. He would have to order the Stellia and because of the Corona situation here it will take a long time. The next point is that the Celestee is 200 euros cheaper here than in Germany. If I don't like it, I can sell it again without great loss. I will order the iBasso CB17 cable for this. this is the cable that is included with the SR 2 but with a 4.4 connector. I hate these adapters:L3000::L3000:

I remember that a user wrote here that he was very happy with the Clear MG and DX300. But no idea with which AMP. 11or 11MKII I think it was pretty early on. But they all have enough power to fully deploy the Clear.

I bought the one linked in this post:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/iba...rmware-2-6-2021.943221/page-499#post-16452407

It fits perfectly, completely snug, no room to shift. So snug in fact that some attention is required to not push the side button when closing the case. Thanks @jaker782 for the recommendation!

EDIT: it is only for the DX300. Theoretically you can put some IEMs in the lid, but you'd be squeezing them too much... not recommended! :sunglasses:

Yes burn in will commence as soon as it arrives and my aps and music have been installed. I already have my mirco sd card ready.

Hi... drop by just sharing thoughts.
Since we all know, that UAPP is still not work as proper like other music player in DX300.
I recently find a great synergy, when using DX300 as Stack mode with BX2plus. Yet, I found that using UAPP as music player works better for stack mode. The music separation are better image with UAPP then MANGO Player. This is easy to compare, since both are in Android OS, and you can swap to each player by multi task. With the same music songs of course.
Well, I am not judging or make statements here, just experiment with your DX300 until you can get its true potential.

That seems perfect, just need a way to set it so it doesnt jostle around and possibly press the volume button.
