I love my pioneer xdp-100r, but i cant stop thinking about and looking at other players like the Fiio x7, Ak300, xdp-300r, and really wonder if there would be a benefit to having multiple players besides writing a review. Iam reallyshouldget a dac and amp for my pc, but portable is where my heart has always been. So those of you that have multiple players, what do you do with them?
No, there is no need - it's simply a sign you would rather spend more time finding new ways to play the same music than listening to new music the same way.

What if you like doing both? I like my current setup but enjoy seeing how other manufacturers have approached the same goal of making a dedicated DAP. Im a tech junkie as much as I'm a music junkie so if I get to play with new toys that can make my listening more enjoyable (even if it is just from form factor, UI, etc) then I'm always open to new equipment.
A benefit to having multiple DAPs I find is when I travel I'll tend to bring a less expensive unit along. Then if something were to happen, i.e. lost/stolen, I wouldn't be as upset as if it were my favorite or expensive device.

In my opinion its ok owning a few players. I've found from my own experience synergy between the player/IEM is a major area in bringing out their best performance, both player and earphone. I own 3 players, each have their own earphone they live with as 'sets' I've paired up.
Its a good way to keep yourself going in the hobby, that hunt for the ultimate pairing or synergy.

I think again for me it will depend on the synergy between the dac/amp and earphone. I owned Mojo twice, while it sounded good I still preferred how my earphones sounded with some dedicated players. I do agree though if the synergy is fitting there's some excellent sound to be had from using a smartphone and dedicated dac/amp.
If it makes you happy do it. I own several, and there are more I'm buying. I don't jump around too much once I find one I like. Synergy is a great point that the other guy, H20 something or other said.
