  Where it all started.
 
 
 
No expensive amps. No external DACs. No overpriced ICs. Just an iPod and a pair of on-ears (granted the first time, they were PortaPros...)

Nice case, can't find them for 5th gen's anymore.  Still pull mine out for easy portable listening and still very much enjoy it.

Three amps and matching receivers
 

 
1. AK100 + CORDA STEPDANCE + HD25-1 II (Oyaide HPC-HD25)
 

 
2. iPOD Classic + Headroom TotalBit Head + ER4P (APure Sound Cable)
 

 
3. iPOD 5.5th + RSA Intruder + Westone ES5 (ALO SXC24 Balanced Cable)
 

 
All Together

In general, would you still buy the AK100 given that the DX50 is out, and has reportedly comparable performance for a much cheaper price?
 
I am trying to decide between the two myself.
 
Great setups though

@TekeRugburn
 
Thank you. They sound fantastic too.
 
@Shakenbake158
 
I have not tried DX50 yet. I already got AK100 so I am going to keep it as long as it is working. (I don't want to waste money)

So I visited my local audio store (Noisy Motel) today to try out the Fostex line to see what they're all about:)
 
Not bad, not bad at all.
 
DX50 + O2 + TH600

Try the TH900, its not just "not bad" its pretty badass.

I was there on Monday with the TH900s with Billy and they sounded fantastic from his Bottlehead SEX/C5D (We built three SEXs together including his unit).
Putting money down for the TH900 and C5D combo and calling it a day on closed headphones.

Oh, don't you worry, I wouldn't try one Fostex sibling and leave out the other.
