The X1 is similar to the X5 in many ways. The main difference being that the X5 has dual micro sd card slots while the X1 only has one, besides this the X5 has a far better amp for listening out of the headphone Jack. If your going to using the Line Out Jack (which I assume you will with the Cayin C5) the X1 is a great buy.
Oh, really?
If i am just using line out it will not be much different from the X5? X5 is much more expensive than X1 for the sound difference not be that significative from line out...
Are you being serious? (Not kidding, this made me want to try X1...X5 is too expensive and i prefere to use Spotify...)
