Pocketable endgame (To me. For now, at least.)
 

AK120 II > Linum SuperBax (prototype) > Noble K10

For the most (but not all) part, the Flow easily bests the AK240 from a technical perspective. Soundstage is wider, imaging is deeper, it's able to produce that "bigger sound", etc. But one particular album I've got so far though where the tables are turned - Nicki Parrot's Black Coffee (DSD format in my particular case, don't have the redbook). It seems that with this album the proposed presentation of a basement level small jazz room seemed more matching to the AK240's more smaller soundstage. That actually felt more appropriate (or accurate?) to the intended presentation. But for the rest of the albums I've got the Flow (which is kinda to be expected) does have the upper hand to my ears. I know, it's not fair comparing a dedicated component to a DAP.

 
Wait for the AK480...

Better than DX90+amp or just different but more convenient ?

Beautiful stuff. It looks like the SuperBax has less memory than the Bax. This is, to me, the only downside of the Bax compared to Noble's stock cable.
 
 
I'd say enjoy your rig, but i'm sure you're already doing just that

This will be 10k Usd + 1 kidney. And there will be a limited version dipped in semen from famous musicians for improved SQ that will cost 100k + 1 cornea.

Wow thats an interesting thought maybe if it was Jennifer Lopez fluids i might buy it.

That case looks awesome.  Makes me want to get shoes to match.....

Took a better photo because the lighting here at the library is much more agreeable.

iBasso DX90 -> plusSound X Series -> InEar StageDiver SD-2

With good recordings, yes. But you WILL need good recordings...

Sadly no, but a lot of people speak very highly of the AK100II as well!

The SuperBax feels like paracord. The thickness of a regular (Noble) cable, but no memory, it just "flows"... Soft to the skin as well. I wear glasses and I've used the SuperBax for 8 hours today with zero discomfort. VERY enjoyable though, but merciless with bad recordings when you pair it with the K10.

Hah - The case looks a lot better in person, and actually feels like hand-stitched Italian leather. Which it is, because... Well, because A&K, I guess.

What DAPs have you listened to? I'm looking for a DAC to use with my SD-2 as well.
