All sources sound the same, it's all an illusion.

I agree there's too much hype out there my friend, but aren't you being a little too drastic?

WE NEED A DOUBLE BLIND ABX TEST!!!!!

 

[seanwee]

well... audio is subjective so this is what i conclude... but Mojo and xdsd... after in depth listening mojo still the best, Fiio Q5 and Fiio X7ii they have almost similar SQ... due to Fiio Q5 warmth mids thats is why i choose the X7ii. many will disagree on this... some people might find fiio q5 superior than x7ii.

The Q5 and X7ii were using the same amp module?

I'll be demoing quite a few dac/Amps later so I can do an A/B between the Q5 and X7ii. Need to see if both really sound the same if using the same module.

AK300 (never sounded better)

But isn't that the sound of the xDSD you're hearing? The AK300 is just functioning as a transport right?

 

[seanwee]

How is the sound of the xDSD compared to the nano idsd black label? I tried it just now and it was good but wasn't too impressive.

yes it is a transport (optical out), but my sound reference was a bit of sarcasm

this is my only I Fi product, so I have no way to compare. I am realizing that the source and what HP / IEM you pair it with makes all the difference in how it sounds.

Looks legit if you ask us!
