Fiio fan-boys unite!

On that note I leave you with this parting shot of my Carbon-Ara rig

Yes in deedy! For the same coin this thing absolutely blows my Toppy NX2 away

 
Speaking of the old NX2, hitting a little Ani DiFranco on this getup

I don't leave the house with this setup, but I do use it around the house when I don't feel like being attached to my desktop amp:
 

 
HTC One M9 and AKG Q701 (bass modded and modified headband) - This phone actually powers this headphone quite well, plenty loud at 67-73% volume, and it sounds at least 95% as good as when it's plugged into my desktop amp. No isolation and they are huge, so it's not really a portable setup, but I'll sit on the couch or outside the house in the yard in a lawn chair with them and it's very enjoyable.

FiiO X3II/Q1 stack with my Grado SR60e with modified cable (to make them portable).

iBasso DX50 > JDS Labs 3.5mm interconnect > FiiO E11k > AKG K553 Pros



I am loving the K553s, just feels like full immersion into the music.

Thank you sir, it's weird to think that less than a year ago I discovered this site, now I'm hooked.

You'll get the upgrade bug, soon.....

 
How do you find the DX50? Considering a new DAP in the New Year. The Oppo Fina 7a is at best very very average.

The only thing else I really want is a pair of openbacks, otherwise I'll be content for a while. (I know, I know, famous last words)
 
The DX50 is great, it has it's flaws though (like any DAP), I bounce back and forth between Mango and Rockbox. Rockbox is great because of the customizability and the 3-button navigation but can get buggy. Mango is just Mango, it's organized well, easy to figure out, and has the ability to make on the fly playlists. I still haven't figured out playlist support from syncing with my library. I use JRiver Media Center and can find the playlists on the SDCard but cannot get them to play, still working on that. Sound quality of the DX50 is grea though and that's it's strongest attribute.
 
I've thought about selling and switching to the FiiO X3 2nd gen but I'm afraid I would miss the sound quality and everything I've already gotten used to with the DX50. Eventually I might convince myself to sell and switch to something else but for now the DX50 is keeping me very satisfied.

...the black b1tch/black beauty ...


Original Ihifi 770》Alo Rx amp》Dunu dn2000

I get surprisingly different results from the addition of the Rx amp via L/O using the latest firmware but the dunu and the 770 combo is fantastic as well!

Black B1tch, too funny!

Excellent. I do like the look of the iBasso range. For me I'll be getting one of them or the FiiO or whatever else is FOTM at the time of purchase.
 
Openbacks are so fun, I have some Fidelio X1s myself and I adore them.
