you know what better than all this phone nonsense... a computer!
problem solved

 
One thing I really like about using my phone or clip zip is the mobility and not having to take off the headphones every time I move away from my computer (which I do a lot). Minor point, I know. But once I get my ele dac and my laptop sounds much better, I'll get over that!
 
PS sorry for the OT posts. I'll behave now.

I have also bought an Fiio E6 to help with burn in and to give my iPhone a but more oomph


Personally i would have bought an E11, or better yet and E12 as they're about to be released.

Definitely. An E6 will just deteriorate the sound in such an high-end phone... Anything south the E11 is money sent to the trash with phones like this. Even the E11 is not good enough. I would say E17 minimum, E12 better, JDSlabs C421 AD8620 ideal.

Have to agree there, you'd be much better off with something like this. :wink:

I hate head-fi. I just got the e11 and have been very happy with it. I then read your excellent write up and now I need that C&C BH instead. Head-fi is indeed heaven and hell lol!

My Phone is the Note 2, international not the S3, it sounds good, but I dac/amp it with the Apex Galcier., meaning I use the Glacier as a dac and amp, leaving the Samsung to only do the playing and everything else id one in the external dac.
For that I can spend two days from full till zero with normal use!! and with 15-17 hours of play time!  non LTE version.
Please check the review :
 

Supersharp: Apex Glacier



 is truly a music making device.

Am I really going to notice a difference in quality over the E6? I've got to dual amp anyway so was going to look into getting a proper DAP when I have some more funds again

Yes, like the guys say an E6 is liable to make it worse, the suggestion of the c&c looks good, certainly seems to be the best i think they're £56 on ebay.
 
Take it your phones haven't arrived yet?

Aw, man, I was going to wait on some decent IEMs that could serve as on-stage monitors like the Aurisonics ASG-2 or wait for more people to comment on the EarSonics SM64... Even waiting on other releases, but these JVCs are just too tempting. Tenso doesn't ship here either, so I'm going to try enlist the help of a friend in Japan.

As if I don't have enough expensive hobbies, man. I want a new guitar, I want new stomp boxes, I want new computers, I want a new phone, I want new earphones, I want a better dac, I want a headphone amplifier. MoarmoarMOAR!

whew, I'm glad I spent my fxz money on something else (I also have just as expensive knife hobby). Now I simply DON'T CARE about these anymore. Don't get me wrong - I'd gladly have both, but right now, I just can't... I'm gonna wait till my XB90EX break down (it will take some years I guess) and by that time, JVC will have even better one with removable cables. maybe something like quad dynamic? :D The Only Audio related product I'm gonna get till then is a replacement for my sansa clip+. it is clear and all, but doesn't have the energy to bring out everything in xb90ex, so maybe the soon to be released Fiio x3? who knows...
