I spent £630 to have it tuned up :-P. The WM-D6C costs as much as some mid-tier DAPs :).

Was tempted to buy the FiiO as a comparison!
Don't! It's garbage. My lovely wife bought it for me for my Christmas/birthday present, as I like to use my older but still in good condition Panasonic, but the Panasonic has some issues with movement flutter, which the FiiO doesn't really have much of, BUT, the Panasonic sounds cleaner, clearer, and just better than the supposedly analog but "highly resolving" FiiO. Not true at all. Plus my Panasonic has N/Chome/Metal settings, and bass boost, and the FiiO has NO FEATURES. I've been thinking of selling it, but who would buy my FiiO cassette player?

My post work shift evening has been spent getting entertained by a couple rigs. The first one is my newly acquired Sony NW-ZX100, which is WORTH. EVERY. PENNY I spent on it, which wasn't much, considering. Tethered to the ZX100 is the Softears Volume S, this IEM had slid down the rotation, and out of the first rota due to it sounding best thru the now sold FiiO JM21. That was it's synergy sister. Well, tonight, it found it's new synergy sister in the Sony, and it's such a fantastic pairing, that I'm moving the Volume S back into the first rotation, and moving the Simgot EW300 down to the 2nd rota. The synergy is THAT GUD, and the colorway matching is PERFECT! It's like this IEM was made for and came with the DAP!

Next was the ISN H60. One of my top BOSSES, the H60 has always done well with my FiiO daps, but I'd been contemplating re-purchasing the JM21, since it has a sound signature I'm very fond of, and I was able to get a close facsimile with my JM21 EQ setting on the M21, but then I remembered the iFi Go Link Max! This tiny dongle DAC has a signature that's oh so close to the FiiO JM21, without having to use EQ, so I hooked it up to the M21, dropped the H60 thru this, and musically, I'm transported to a special place. Switched out the cable as well, and I'm using the ivipQ Stardust, which isn't quite the color match of the XINHS K15, but it's a superior cable, and the silver and palladium really bring out the best qualities of the H60. This is an awesome rig.
