It's not so much a mod more of a visual thing ! But the link is here -

Since these photos were taken I have received a sheet of 3M double sided tape and attached the magnets to the units with this tape. It is very secure and totally reversible! Voila, problem solved with an elegant, reversible solution. FIGJAM. Cheers.

Can u check if those double sided tape will hold up with the heat of the player and amp?

 

[swannie007]

Have had them like this for a few days and have had zero problems. The magnets are strong and the double sided tape holds very securely. Be sure to get the 3M tape as it is the best and has very strong adhesive. If you have any more questions, just ask. Remember also that this modification is fully reversible with no side effects. Cheers.

for another option, I ended up strapping my c5 to the case for my x5 with 3m Velcro. That's come up very well for me. A $15 camera bag that's just the right size and yippity yippity, that's all folks!!

An elegant and simple solution. I like it. KISS.

I have one of these getting delivered today.  But I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it.  I sent my Aurisonics 2.5's to Aurisonics to look at, because the X3ii wasn't driving them properly, and I wasn't getting much bass.  But if the Aurisonics were in good shape, then I'll need the amp to drive them properly, and get the bass that they are known for.  It's going to be so hard to let it sit in the box unopened until I get my 2.5's back, but, I'm on disability, and funds are kind of tight.  Jeremy at CTCAudio has been great to deal with, and I highly recommend them for any needs, or looking for the amp itself.  Fantastic customer service.

Anyone tried the C5 against the "other" C5 (JDSL)? There's surprisingly little talk about this comparison. I had a Cayin C5 and actually chose my v1 E12 over it, mostly due to the more subtle bass boost. But I just booted my E12 in favor of the JDSL C5 and now I'm curious what I'd think if I had the two C5's to try at the same time.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but CTC Audio has the C5 on special at the moment. Gold or black - BLACK (?!) - for US$159.

Well, listening with my RHA T10i's, and Atrio MG7's, the sound is powerful, holographic, and a wider soundstage. I love this amp! I can't wait to try it with my Aurisonics 2.5s, the bass should be mindblowing.

Has anyone paired an x3ii with the c5 and be able to comment on it? I'm currently using an x3ii with Hugo but considering selling the Hugo and replacing it with the c5 (and some money in my pocket).

I'll be looking out for your impressions with A 2.5's....

Looking at them and the new Future Sonics G10 for something more mobile.

Well, I use the C5 (with X5) for some months now and the Hugo (with DX90) only for 3 weeks...
Imo the Hugo is definitely an upgrade in sq (more natural and detailled) over the C5 (warmer signature)....but this isn't strange considering the price of both.
C5 is ''bang for buck'' and a great amp anyway! I think it also has more power then Hugo and it's easier to stack with a dap...

Has anyone paid the c5 with the dx50 and the ie800s or the asg2s yet? How did they sound??

Putting my C5 up for sale.
