I'm indecisive! 
As this will being going over my usual budget ( xe800, kz zs3 and zs5, brainwavz M1,M4, pistons 3 and HD...) I'm placing a greater concern on long term build quality and am worried about chi-fi but their performance can't be ignored.
What I wish :
I would like something detailed without fatigue (EQ can correct treble peaks?), replaceable cables and with the best soundstage because kz5 bests all the rest I have and I can't go back.
An all arounder with clarity and not bass shy without harshness. I think the Simbot Pro would be my best choice but that is pushing my budget overboard unfortunately.
Although I can enjoy fast and fun modern music like recently found Infected mushroom or Savages, I find most pleasure for classic jazz, blues and rock. Charles mingus's moanin' is often a benchmark of mine, but so is Paco de Lucia/stevie ray to prodigy/bonobo/. A bit of everything really, as long as it's good
Would smoothing out the fiio f9 be possible (they're so purty)? Does the Pioneer have enough detail? Should I be worried about long term (1 - 3years) resilience with Chifi?
