Bring this over to the new page for you. =)
Yep, figured it might have been while ago. Mine stays naked, I've never amped it either. Funny actually, I was looking for my Sony LOD to try only hours ago after about one year.
The C5 colors the sound and kind of smooths everything out, and the volume pot is a big plus. Another bonus is the portable charging ability. After pairing them up and playing with it for a few days, the F806 and C5 haven't left each other's sides.

iBasso DX50 with latest Rockbox + 256 GB SD card > iBasso coax cable > iFi micro iDSD = awesome

No, because I use that with USB OTG and my Samsung S4 with USB Audio Player Pro and there is no difference between coax and USB input in my case (using only 16bit FLAC files).
 
Only difference I have is the audio output:
 
Rockbox = 16/48 with coax
 
Mango (iBasso FW) = 24/192 with coax
 
UAPP = up to 384 Khz / DSD256 with USB

Tell us about those KEF Earphones...
You have to play with them to get a good fit. The nozzles are enormous so tip rolling is limited. Sound is very good, dual driver with great low end. Highs tend to sound artificial. Imaging is very nice with the p51, good detail as well.

Well, after various other incarnations my portable rig has ended up going back to this (Note 4 replacing the Note 3 seen here):
 

 
Currently contemplating getting the Final Audio Pandora Hope VI, which impressed on a brief audition recently. Another upgrade of course will be getting the 200gb microSD when it releases, will save me from having to do case mods to use my 256gb SD card with the phone (as I used to do with the Note 3 at times).
