Your LG G4 is your DAC. And Accessoryjack is definitely a legitimate seller.

Does anyone use Spinfit tips - is it possible to change the angle of insertion at all so they don't sit straight out of your ears, perhaps angle back a bit?

I've tried the spin-fit, and for me, it doesn't sit really still with proper insertion particularly with the A3. Due to the weight of the drivers, the spin-fit(which is longer in length) made it harder to get a proper fit with the weightier A3. (no problem with other IEMs)

I was just wondering as I know they are a bit longer - I prefer my Spiral dot tips anyway.
I just went to the Sony shop (Japan) and tried the A3 with the MUC-M12SM1. I really Like the xba-300, they are cheaper, sound very nice and are small and sit really well, BUT I can't help but smile with satisfaction listening to the A3, damned usb drive, Frankenstein bolt looking things

Spiral dot for the win

 The muc cable would require a proper Over-the-ear guide tho for perfect comfort. It's not that bad actually, they don't look bad or anything. At least what I tell myself is that they don't look as huge as wearing a headphone/on-ear. Plus the comfort + big sound covers for everything else

The MUC-M12SM1 sat nicely over my ears while I stood in the shop for about 10-15min, I gave them the head shake test, the chewing test (if I chew wearing the IE80 it disturbs the seal - drove me up the wall on the plane trying to watch movies while having meals).
It felt nicer than the stock cable - long term....we'll see
