Is the Fiio E12A really worth the extra bulk? Does is sound a lot better than the X5?


Short answer, yes. It keeps everything in check and smooths everything out. It doesn't make it warm. It just makes the sound not have any bright peaks. If you want to add some thickness the bass boost is there which makes for a Brazilian goddess feel to your sound that is fantastic.

It plays well with everything I throw at it..

Just trying something out: with a powered USB hub, the current-demanding LH Labs Geek Out IEM 100 also works out of an iPhone, which wasn't possible before (it still drains the battery quickly though). Now I'd only need a power bank to make it portable.

Do you put all your audio stuffs in a safe at the bank? It's quite a lot of money on this table :scream:

He's just pretending he owns it, he sneaks into audio shops then posts pictures here.

We keep speaking to him about but he doesn't listen.

Was my sentence unclear on the the fact that I was testing at the shop?


Lol! Apparently not for everyone. So what did you buy? You bought something right? :veryevil:

Oh damned, yes you're right I missed that part, meaculpa ☺ that must be an awesome shop.

Reminds me of some little shops in Hong Kong where you can try hundreds of high end iems as if they are cheap like candies...until you notice the price tag :grin:

I'd love to spend my next holiday there ( the audiophile shopping paradise)
