You already have a very potent device in the LG-V20, both in DAC and AMP section. Why would you want to add bulk with another DAC/AMP?
I own the PM3 and tried the open back Sine DX. Love my PM3. Most audiophile folk go for the PM3 sound even tho it pulls back on the treble bite in trumpets a bit. So on the mellower side but not as dull as the NAD HP50. "Dull" exaggerates to make my point. While the Sine DX seemed to fit descriptions and specs I'd seen for the Sine, which is a more forward treble, hence plenty of bite in the brass and would certainly bring out a sense of clarity in lyrics because the consonants would click and ting clearly on female vocals.A post for people who have tried PM3'S and Audeze Sines. I love the PM3'S, but can't find a great deal in Canada. I spoke to a dealer across the country who is offering me a great deal on a pair of Sines. They would be $86.00 cheaper than my best deal on some PM3'S.
I like rock music and my favourite instrument is the voice. Think Florence and the Machine, Kings of Leon, Garbage, Incubus and some Classic rock. 2 years ago I discovered jazz horns. Think Miles Davis, Trombone Shorty, John Coltrane, etc.
Would I be happier with vocals/horns on the Sine or the Oppo? I don't do hip hop or classical.
Thanks for any input!

Shane D since you've mentioned a love of jazz brass, check out Ron Carter's Great Big Band. Excellent recording with many different instrument combos in the arrangements. So once you know the tracks a bit, they're useful tests of headphone sonic signatures. And Carter himself is a bassist so that end is impressively covered as well. Happy listening!Thanks for all the replies folks. I am going to pass on the Sines for two reasons: I can't hear them first and they require too much power to be portable.
I guess PM3 is the answer but I am still exploring other choices.
Sucks to live in a smallish town without a lot of choices to visit for a listen. Of course the way retail is going most shops will likely be gone in 5, 10, or 15 years.
