Very clean rig is The best

Thanks Rudi,
 
I must say that personally I think the Touch 5g is one of the best sounding iDevices for use directly with a pair of CIEM's. I am struggling to tell any major difference between the Touch on its own and with the MicroStreamer. However the MicroStreamer comes into play when I'm using the FLAC player app for my HiRes files.
 
Will be interesting to see what difference I can hear with the HiFi M8 when it arrives.

I've been thinking about grabbing an ipod touch 5g 64gb to use with my Theorem 720 instead of the 32GB iphone (which I have to leave in airplane mode to avoid interference, hate that lol). But I dunno I just can't justify spending $450 (after tax) on a ipod when Fiio X5 + 2x128GB microSD cards costs roughly the same. I still want an ipod touch so I can control my music via Pebble watch (bluetooth) but damn, I can't justify that price.
 
I looked on Kijiji and guys are trying to sell them for $700 used because they have flappy birds installed... really?

i wish one of android powered DAPs would support pebble. imagine putting your DAP/stack in your bag with a hole for headphone out and enjoying music without having to lug the source on hand. maybe i would even bear a one-line screen on the dap as long as i can see track details on pebble and can control play/pause/volume/next/prev through pebble (via the accelerometer would be even cooler: fist pump for play/pause = badass DAP)

Galaxy players work. I use my pebble with Poweramp etc... Just no gestures like you'd like

I want Share My personal comparison between
Theorem dac / amp vs Theorem as Dac use line out + Duet

Source : iPhone 5 s
Dac / Amp : Theorem as Dac and amp
Theorem as dac Only
Amp : Duet
Headphone : VModa M 100
Cable : mini to mini Crystal cable dream line With Viablue mini plug diy

Theorem as dac / Amp :
High : more Crisp and Clear
Mid : more Clear but not as thick plus Duet
Bass : is tighter and cleaner compare plus DUET , bass more Boomy
Separation : better Theorem as stand Alone
Soundstage : Theorem as stand Alone is better more Wide and Depth .
Plus Duet soundstage so narrow

Overall : Theorem plus Duet has not so Good Synergy

It is better Theorem as stand Alone dac/ amp or

Cypher Class solo dB / Class solo original + Duet

IMO

Thank you
Wow looks Great , you are so genius can make By Your Self
How you connect to AK 240 and how you connect Your iem to Your adapter ?
I am still confuse

That costs more than my STAX rig! o.0

No , stax cost more than My set Up

SRS-2170 - $635
Step-down transformer - $25
Objective DAC (with RCA outputs) - $169

Total cost for my rig: $829 < $900 for the one interconnect cable

Rudi, how does CLAS + Duet compare to the standalone Theorem? Always great seeing your impressions and your gear

This adapter is for stationary amps. =)

How do you like the m100 rudi? I thought I had convinced myself to pick up some sennheiser momentums for my new headphones, but now I'm seriously considering the v-moda m100s just because I like the looks and customization options (especially the upgradeable earpads!) . I'm using an iphone 5s to dragonfly 1.2 combo.

I don't think it matters which one wins. They're both portable Amos so it's a win-win situation :etysmile:

At first I had actually thought he did a comparison on amps with Amos. Really.

Hi again rudi! Just want to ask you, what do you prefer more with this set up? The stand alone theorem or the solo -db + duet combo? How can you differentiate the set up? Cheers!
