I'm using a custom built line out cable I made, just that my camera is broke and this is an older picture.

The custom cable I built is using 99.9% silver wire and has a silver plated mini stereo connector. I bought a old Ipod connector, split it open and hard wired audio cables into it. I even put some little magnets on it to reject RFI (can't remember what they are called, but they are like a magnet).

I think it cost me only $60 to make since my dad gets tons of scrap silver wire where he works. All the wire already has isolation on it.

They're called ferrite cores and they're not magnetic.

Oh ok, I always thought they were magnetic. Shows how much I know, aye? Mine must be micro ferrets then since they are a lot smaller than the ones you usually see on speaker wire.

Nice cable, but still, the line out would be better surely?

Read closer, he has said twice now that he uses line out. He just didnt have it in the picture is all

 

[Zombie_X]

LO makes a difference, just not what most people say it does. I'd say it sounds 2x as good as it did before. Still worth the money...

Nice budget setup, how is the Fiio/Ety combination? I'm assuming the Fiio compensates for the Ety's recessed bass?

They're CrossRoads X3i, which are already bassy.

Yeah, i think with an upgrade of the earphones it would be pretty damn awesome...

What about the Q40's?

The Clip drives Q40s pretty well.
