I got myself an AudioQuest Dragon fly to go with the X1 and it sounds really good, it's going for 89 GBP on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00882U782/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
 
Edit: Its gone up to 120 GBP on amazon but still around 89 GBP at http://www.richersounds.com/product/dacs/audioquest/dragonfly/audi-dragonfly

Been enjoying my X1s and finally got the extra doe to get myself a Fiio E07K. Not sure if it will play nice with my GS3 or not, but at least I can use it with my computer. if anyone observing this thread uses a GS3 with this model, or knows someone that has a one that works with E07K, please let me know. Thanks!

Yes, people have reported that it works, but I'm not sure if you need a special cable.

I don't think it was the X1 that was on sale.  It was probably the L1.  I've made the mistake before and actually called Amazon about it and boy was I embarrassed.

The HE-400? I'm wondering if I made the right choice, or should return em and get the HE-400 :p
 
decisions :p
 
Think I'll stick with the X1's though and quit with the choices as I've been weighing in for like 2 years before I broke down and bought a set I hear the HE-400's are heavy! Just hope the X1 can take some (not a huge amount) of beating as I'll be traveling with em.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think it does require one. Just not even close to being 100% sure which one to use. A bunch of conflicting and confusing info that I've seen out there. I don't intend to use the E07K as an amp with the phone (don't want to double amp) just the dac part.

It does work, i have a galaxy s3 with e07k and its just plug-and play. I use this OTG microUSB - USB cable i found on ebay.

If your source is a computer USB, possibly the Dragonfly.  Just dropped from $250 to $99.  Killer bargain. 

 
Going to use it primarily on PC, but some on the iPad and a little on the SGSIII. They sell the Dragonfly for $150-200 here. You don't think E07K wil give more for the money as it is bigger and battery-powered?

How do you think the E07K sound with X1? If you have those headphones, of course.
 
   
Modi perhaps? Or the HiFiMe DIY Sabre DAC? $99/$50 respectively.

 
Modi takes $35 for shipping so I think that's ruled out. Do you think the HiFiMe DAC is enough?
