but they are extraordinarily expensive for non custom in ear aren't they? like 1k ++ dollar

yes. £1000. Not cheap by any stretch, but build quality, design, fit and most importantly the sound!! are really something special. I use these on my beside rig as well rather than my HE-500 most of the time, they sound that good.

The DX100 hibino case is such a lint magnet! i wish someone could come out with an alternative case to the hibinos. Oh Btw, sweet set up!

thanks. I don't find it too bad, I am very surprised no-one else has produced a case for the DX100 though.  I love the perfect fit of the Hibino case and it doesnt add much bulk to the already large device.

Now what on earth is a "aClear Porta NIP" ? :-D


I'm experimenting with it and seeing what exactly it is... It doesnt need a power supply or batteries and you connect a source to it then out to the headphones...

The FitEar 334 I think is the most expensive non-custom out there from memory.
 
Here's my portable rig. After trying a lot of stuff, I ended up the most satisfied with just this. I'm overdue to try out the XBA-30s though which are improved versions of the XBA-3s however.

I thought Final Audio Designs had a few things more expensive?

Nice back-to-basics setup.
 
These days though, there's quite a few that are pricier than the 334's (depends on where you are, I guess). At least in Japan, the Tralucent 1Plus2, FAD's Piano Fortes, and AKG K3003 to name a few. For the overseas market though, the pricing may be a little different (think the Tralucent 1Plus2 & AKG K3003 may be $50 cheaper than the 334's)...but the FADs are still "way out there".

I really like the sound signature of 335. I previously owned TG334 and switch to 335 a month ago. MH335DW is all about bass. Not in term of quantity but quality, details, clarity. Mid is still forwarded but not as much as TG334 but this is signature of all MH series I think. Treble roll off is the down side of 335 and TG334. With ALO cable, it improve treble a little bit.
 
Here is my portable rig combined with transportable one. ^^'

Don't know anything about the ip5 and xba-3 combo.....
