Yeah that's awesome, but I'm just not that technical (can barely build a PC).
Hm, those could work, though I would need something a bit longer like 2,5-3 meters. They are really ugly though D:.

I'm also not a technical person.
I just pick the cable and head, and let the shop worker assemble it for me. It only take like 10 mins to assemble, the hardest part is picking the cable suitable to your taste.
Here is the picture when it finished

They already ready for the L2 and M1 wireless. If philips is developing x2, I hope it will comes with replaceable pads and more controlled bass.

Awesome read. I hope someday we'll be able to try those golden ears tests

I just received my Modi/Magni and I hooked them up with my X1 and here's my review:
 
 

Spoiler: Review

Pyed,
Is that pain or orgasmic? Lol...
Aren't those 2 overkill for the x1?

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

That sounds like a sweet spot to me.

Mad Lust was right, I loved it. the sound is just right, what amaze me is that I can turn the volume almost all the way up and still enjoy the music.
 
to anyone who want to get the X1 I say get your self Amp/DAC combo first, it really worth it.
 
and I changed the photo since it's a bit problematic

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Wait.... the Magni has a LOT of gain... you really shouldn't ever have to turn the volume anywhere near close to all the way up, unless your PC master volume or software volume are set under 100%.

you're right, I can't get pass 50% on the Magni when iTunes volume is 100% especially with lossless files. I think it was under 100% when I tested it earlier. you think this could screw up the X1 drivers if I turned it up accidentally ?
 
BTW congrats on the PX100, I saw your unboxing earlier.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I dont think so, unless it was a prolonged exposure at such a high volume.

Really digging the PX100. Perfect for my portable usage. Sound like baby 650s.

 

[pyed]

glad you liked it.

Yes, that meme is more suitable.
My x1 is paired with fiio e17 now. I wonder how it is sound when paired with little dot mk2... its not that expensive, but considering to buy astro mixamp for my 360.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

Not sure if you're attaching a mic to the X1 or not, but the Mixamp alone is pretty good for the X1. It's not that demanding.

 

[widdyjudas]

no mic for me. I got separate mic for my pc.
I think i'll try mixamp instead of the recon for my 360. Cheaper and easier for me to buy here.
But i must find a place that sell an adapter for my 360, so i can put optical audio.
