For those using Viso with a phone, do you use a portable DAC as well, or rely on the built in DAC of your phone?
Also, is anyone using this with a DAP - Fiio X5 or Ibasso DX90? How does it sound?
I like the combination of the X5 and HP50 very well. I have been using them quite a bit over the last three weeks. This was when I got the X5. I have not done any heavy analysis, so don't ask. I use these when doing things around the house and yard, so I am not concentrating on picking things apart when listening.I just know that the music sounds good. Periodically something will be playing and I just have to stop and listen for a minute or two. I usually end that period by saying... WOW, that is nice!
I don't have a DX90.
I have used the HP50 out of the headphone jack of my HTC DNA. It has Beats audio on it (which I disable) and supposedly a solid headphone amp. I am not impressed. It will work ok in a pinch, but I prefer using OTG with my JDS C5D.
I don't listen much out of the phone. This is mostly due to the limited memory available on the DNA... and a dedicated music player like the X5.. or even my Sansa Fuze just sound better.
