Loved EVERY picture you had there! Especially the last two !!

The last pix, that's shigzeo trying to look hip with a proof of concept multi-stack:

The CLAS merely acts as a transport for DDC (digital-to- digital converter).

The Colorfly C4 whilst a DAP can also be used as a DAC only.

No idea how it sounds cos we're focused more on how to make shigzeo look geekily cool :).

haha GENIUS!
Back to head-fi how does the colorfly sound with your Merlin's?

Believe it or not, I actually didn't try the Colorfly C4 with the Merlin's. I tried it with the FitEar TO GO! 334 instead. Sounded nice when it did play - trouble was getting it to play my 24/96 & 24/192 tracks! Only 16/44.1 played consistently.

But..but you were so close! Yeah its more of a shallow acquaintance I have with the C4; if they made an iPod case like that I'd be all over it! Love the Scooby's!

Sounds good, might take the plunge. Had an ecci storm 6 I got from here but it actually made my ZHD sound worse!
(Sold both recently due the issue with the amp, and the zune because I wanted something opensource...well flac!)
I always wanted to try those phonaks. knakard my ear dkrum a while ago, had to sell my iems etc.
(Doesn't effect sound quality, just can't have a seal that comes with iems).

 
For the paltry cost I would really recommend giving the E6 a go depending on the headphones you use. It does a great job with the Phonaks in that setup at putting out a nice clean sound, the difference between its output and the HP out of the Nano is really quite audible. I gave it to my best friend at lunch to try, also using a 6G Nano but with just a pair of Apple earbuds and he was also able to pick up on the increased clarity immediately. It doesn't pair as well with my triple BA customs though, which really seem to benefit from the sheer grunt provided by my C421. Shame about your ears, that's gotta suck :frowning2: the Phonaks have also been a really great purchase for £65.
 
Just put the two alongside one another for the first time, the difference is quite funny =P
 
 

Cool photo :)  my phone wallpaper is kinda like your window
