I have a preference more for a desktop set up, but I would use the Hugo always plugged in. But the ibasso looks great!
If you want a desktop setup, I would recommend a Eversolo DMP-A6 or the new DMP-A8 as the DAC and a Headamp GSX MKII as the AMP. Great pairing and will get you to the place you want.

I have a case really similar to the Effect Audio case you posted. It's by Eletech. I paid way more for it though. I don't like it very much because it's to hard and will bend if you use it too much. I like the softer cases. Plus Chinese leather sucks.

Hmm, well that sucks. I was hoping the EA case would be more sturdy like my Miter case is. The thing is a tank, but it's limited to the DAP and 2 IEMs at most. The more I think about it, the more I might want to grab the big brother to my Miter case and just look for a laptop bag with a larger front pocket and call it a day.


This is the Miter case that I'm referring to:

Nice case. I think they use cardboard in my case to make it hard. It's thick but feels like it's going to bend if I stuff it in my bag. Yeah, miter makes great stuff. They probably use plastic inserts.

'Tis a nice mild sunny dry day here in Dublin for the Saint Patrick's Day Parade. :beerchug:

We have a massive influx of tourists for the weekend, so we usually stay at home, have a few friends over, eat and drink a few too many glasses of vino. We don't touch spirits or cocktails as they are hard to pace and you can end up on your ear!

I have the N3 Pro and love its sound. Wonder how much power the Ultra can deliver. That was one short-comings of the Pro, somewhat under-powered, especially since the tube function can only be had in SE mode. With the tube in balanced output, power must be decent.

While I am intrigued by this, for the money, it looks nice. Android 8.1? Seems like a step backwards for the UI. I don't need another DAP. Since I have the Pro already, this, to me, is a little redundant. I like the strides they're taking to improve, however. Good to see.

There's not a whole lot of info on it yet, especially specs. I found a marketing writeup but not a whole lot else. I'm really interested in it due to the JAN6418 tubes and the pseudo-balanced tube output. I really haven't found a Nutube amp I've liked.

I don't know if any of you saw the deal on an Audeze Aluminum Travel Case that was posted in the Deals thread on site, but in case you hadn't I thought I'd post it up. It's a nice case that can be used for many different headphones according to them. It's normally $175, on sale for $39.00. I couldn't pass that up.
