Indeed - great synergy. And the T50RP drivers seem to be able to handle the bass boost very nicely. Awesome.

Edit: Wow - great synergy with the Dunu Titan1's as well.

Hey Wayne, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Let me know if you find something it doesn't pair well with I think one of the best things with the C5 is that it sounds great with pretty much all IEM's and headphones I've paired it with so far (and that's quite a few).

Lol - I guess it would save me some posts, because yes, I'm getting that impression as well.

Wayne's a C5 head?? 

 
 
Can't wait to try this on my new X3 Gen2 soon. Will report

Lol, that was not my intention. Please continue posting your impressions as they come along

Yes, oh Master C5 head - I have finally been assimilated! CTCaudio recently had a great sale, so I had to jump on it. Very glad that I did - it's one of those "makes me super happy" audio purchases. So thanks for initially getting it onto the radar!
 
The X3ii + C5 combo probably will rock!

Glad your digging the C5 Wayne. I still enjoy the sound out of the C5 and so far haven't found anything I own that didn't sound excellent on it so I am with Peter on that.
 
I got lucky and managed to wrangle one of them $160 X3 Gen 2 deals right before all of it sold out.  Look forward to it. Should be a good player to mess around with.

Having reviewed the X3II, I can say: X3II+C5 = 

 I didn't mention it in my review but the pairing works very well. As good as the pairing of X5&C5.

Dear friends, maybe you should try our N6?

 

[Dsnuts]

Would love to. I will consider it once I get my Tax refund from Uncle Sam.  The Fiio was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. We will see.

Generic GoPro hardcase for Cayin/battery/DAC...ebay about $6 ?

My C5 drives my 600ohm AKG K240 DF to a decent level. The bass boost is perfect for these AKGs and had given them a new lease of life! It drives my HE560s well too, although not as well as the speaker taps.

Same here (gotta love those Tax refunds

)
N6 is still (because C5 is great) on my radar, but I'll also wait for the upcoming X7 and Questyle daps
I hope there will be some comparison reviews (especially on sq) later on...

Today I noticed that when I connect the charger to the amp, amp makes a faint noise for around 3 seconds and then stops. I can only hear it when I move my ear near to amp
 
I am using a 2A Samsung charger.
 
Any one noticed this?

Bought a case for my 3DS and my Cayin C5 actually fits in it quite nicely.
 

 
 
This is the one I bought:

But you can probably find cheaper ones shipping from China.
