I found the ZX300 matches very nicely with the EX1000 as well. Seems to be a perfect match, especially balanced.
I had the bl, sold it to buy the zx300. The ifi is great for what it is, but in the end it is about synergy. My ex1000 pairs much better with the zx300, it's a warmer sig, soundstage is wider, Seperation is better, and highs aren't crispy. Same even goes with my t50rp build, even though the ifi had the power to drive it better, I much prefer the pairing with the zx300 due to its warmer more analog sound. The ifi is basically not colored, and resolving, with great detail and alot of power. Now, I get the same detail with the zx300 on my ex1000, but with a warmer touch. It's odd, same treble detail but without being harsh, it's odd. I do miss the ifi because it worked extremely well as a pre amp/dac for my sx1010, using the zx300 even balanced out, and double amping, doesn't pair well with the 1010 into my he4s. If I can't find an r2r dac I may go back to the ifi, and just own both it and the zx300. Both great devices, but with different purposes. That and the zx300 is actually portable!
