well, @OldDude04 inspired to purge some stuff. Going in this initial one is the X5, Paw5000 Mk2 and R3, and maybe the X5iii. I may throw some IEMs in there as well...IT01, BGVP DS1 Pro, CA Lyra (again)?
Not sure what I'm going to shoot for. R6 Pro? Wait for the R3 Pro? Will be nice to get that choice.

In the market for a new DAP, in order to replace my Fiio X7ii (ideally, even replace an X7ii/A5 stack).
I have looked into the Fiio M11Pro, but many reviews claim the X7ii is sonically/musically better.
Same goes for the Hiby R6Pro.
Currently, my attention is mostly drawn to the ibasso DX220...
Any other suggestion or remark?
Thanks in advance for the heads up!

I have owned x7 , x7ii, r6pro, dx200 amp 8 and m11 ...personally I prefer the m11 as a dap more than any of them , r6pro sounds fantastic but it not so good for sensitive iems like andro as it does hiss a little, dx220 I have heard the battery life and ui are not much better than a 200 and in my opinion and use with what else is being released by competitors the build (not talking screen just general build) battery life and ui are leagues away and a few that have owned on the m11 thread agree with this, although it does sound very good.
From memory x7ii isn't better but different, the m11 is a more in your face sound leaning towards clinical, stage and detail are better I think. personally again I would take the m11 over an x7ii anyday it's a far better dap, although I will stress I think this depends a lot with pairing, didn't like it with the fearless s6 rui , good with er4xr, great with andro s ...i love the m11 it doesn't have a fault to me , good battery life and quick charge (6 hours play if your lucky dx200/dx220) faultless ui and minimal hiss , sleep mode is fantastic! Don't turn it off just press pause and leave, it will last for days, ibasso dead by the morning lol .. i have heard others comment on the lack of playstore, I installed apk files no problem so again not really an issue, it's been faultless and easily the best overall dap out there in my eyes, when I first purchased I mailed penon to see when they would get back in stock , it took them 4 months to mail back in stock, at amp3 in the UK its the best selling player, speaks volumes really.
And the pro version is supposed to be that little bit better, I would also check out the shanling m6 as its getting just as positive sound if not better sound reviews or wait for the fiio m15 which is hinted at december.
Also good to see you too been a while.

Hope all you guys are good and well too.

Previous conversation with others on the same choice https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fiio-m11-hiby-r6-pro-or-ibasso-dx220.909099/page-2#post-15163086
Also @KEV G has heard most of these too

I ordered some oBravo Cupids yesterday and I should have them early this week. I'm really looking forward to the dynamic/planar hybrid. My first foray into a planar hybrid IEM didn't go so well with the TinHiFi P1, I thought they were very anemic in the bass dept. Hopefully the Cupids have a bit of grunt.

I read a lot about the Cupids before I got the OH500. Very interested in hearing your impressions.
