   There is so much detail to the K10-ZX1 combo I didnt realize I was missing some elements in my Audioslave CDs... Amazing

 

  i have my k10 paired with this as well and ive finished burning it in for 100+hours.
 
with my hydra 8core cable, its more refined throughout the spectrum. the bass tightened and its such quality that made me go wow.
 
the trebs that i found a little harsh were tamed.
 
the mids are as lush as ever and i think the overall sound became smoother as well. the soundstage is impressively wide with a nice depth to it.
 
i have zero fatigue and i dont hear any hiss either.
 
i had the sony 1070 and it had hiss so i got rid of it.
 
i decided to get this over the AK120 for the purpose of UI and syncronisation with my itunes (transcoded to ALAC)
 
overall i prefer the ZX1 against the AK120, gotta love them hardware buttons and the sound discrepancies to my ears are next to none.
 
the cost savings alone allowed me to get a better cable!
 
really loving my setup now.

 
Thanks so much, both you guys

There was someone asking about gapless on the ZX1... happy to report it works fine, no pauses or anything

Can anyone hear the difference between power amp and the default player with all eq off?

Oh god da***it another very good review with SE5way, you guys don't just let me go on buy FiiO X5 huh?

Just kidding, I am happy to see it really pairs well. Since I will never get hard to drive cans, maybe I should take a look at it again. Mim and Greed both say it has enough power to drive SE5way.
 
I think for somebody who is going to use c/iem all the time, ZX1 is a hell of a dap.

Just get both and problem solved

anyone with experience of how good/bad a pairing zx1 w/ sennheiser HD 25-II is? i think the 25's are 70 Ω

Considering ZX1's low output power, maybe Amperior could be a better choice. Most people were using amps with HD25 to get the best out of it.

Buy it for education to figure out which is better 

 
The ZX1 is definitely a killer dap for someone like me who only uses (c)iems. I never understood the need for all that power that some of these daps have but that's just me.

I will stay only in ciem world too but my SE5way is a little power hungry. However thanks to Mim and Greed I feel okay about it. On March (my birthday) I might get one to make myself happy.

A cable upgrade helps as well.  SPC really makes the HD25 sing.
 
But Amperiors are quite a steal these days...
