I wonder if someone has compared this device with Centrance Dacportable / Dacport?

Hi,

I'm using a Fiio X1 with Fiio E11k as of now. I read that through the Line out functionality one can use both the DAC amd Amp of iBasso D14. Would it be possible with Fiio X1? I apologise if it's the wrong thread to be asking this question.
Thank You.

I've always been under the impression that th D14 line out bypasses the D14 Amp Section,

I meant the line out of Fiio X1 and then the input to iBasso D14. Would I be using both the DAC and Amp of D14?

Is it possible for the FiiO X1 to perform as Transport Only & Output only Data? A line-out would imply the DAC in the X1 is being used & the Line-In+Amp only of the D14 is being used.

That's something I'm not sure of actually and need someone to confirm it. Would a coaxial out cable help in this case?

Based on the FiiO website, the X1 DAP does not have a digital audio output so any line out from the X1 will always be from the onboard DAC & a coax cable won't change that.

How does it compare to xduoo xd 05?

How does it compare to mojo?

If you can afford the Mojo then I would suggest that you get the Mojo; ite definitely sounds better but only you would be able to decide if it's worth just over twice the price of the iBasso or Oppo HA2 (which is similar to the iBasso but better looking).

ohh cool thanks. I am getting ibasso d14 for 240$,oppo for 354$ and mojo for 500$. So ya it is double price than ibasso but I think I can afford it

I have the D14 for PC and HA2 for portable. The HA2 is better than the D14. Am actually looking to get rid of my D14.

got my d14 for <$200 in the local market. it's worth it only if you get a significant discount.
mojo is quite better for sure (i miss an analogue line in, though, to be used with some daps which haven't got digital optical/coaxial output).
i don't own the oppo.
 
if you don't need higher power (because you only use iems, or easy to drive headphones), or already own a headphone amplifier, and are interested of Sabre ES9018KM DAC (common to d14 and ha-2), try to find HiFime 9018D DAC. much more inexpensive (around $100), same (or even better) performance, and the most portable. i don't own it, but hifiChris recommends it (check his review).

Does this amp pair well with the Zen 2.0?
