Placed an order for the K10's and decided with the savings I might as well get the 4 too. I work on an oil rig and my skid can get pretty dusty, don't think I'd want to take the K10's out of the living quarters. Now I just need some time off so I can go get some impressions.

I strongly recommend the Ibasso DX50, especially when paired with a nice amp like the Meier Quickstep or Pico Power. I plan to grab an Ibasso PB2 as soon as they have them in stock again. Soundstage and detail retrieval on the K10 is through the roof, so balancing them should be fun.

Hmm seriously tempted by the universal 6 right now. Not had good experience with customs so may just shoot for the top of the universals instead.

Would like to say how refreshing it is to see a 15 day return period as a standard on the site. Makes it a lot easier (maybe that's the point :p ?) to pull the trigger so to speak!

  I've run my K10 off my Sony Z1 (phone) and Fiio X3, and while the X3 is my preferred choice, it did well on the Z1. I have a Sony ZX1 on pre-order and hoping that will trump everything. :)

im seriously considering the ZX1 as well but to import to singapore now....its a little steep

As I stated in my review of the K10, it actually sounds good straight from (gasp!) a laptop or smartphone. But feed them from a proper source and ye shall be rewarded!

I have and love my Sony F807 but I'm finding that I'm already nearing the 64GB limit on it and I've down sampled all my 24/96 and 24/192 music before putting it on there. The iBasso DX50 is really intriguing thanks to it's expandable storage and ability to play 24/192 files (the F807 was Android limited at 16/44.1) but I think I'll have to hold off on that and just enjoy my F807 and Fiio E12 combo for a while. I hate that Sony doesn't allow SD cards, otherwise it'd be the perfect DAP.
