  For sure we will be at the one device point very soon, if we aren't already there now really. With most headphones designed for mobile use, a phone like the V20 for instance would be quite adequate. I expect (and hope) that DAPs are still always a viable if niche product to satisfy those who demand that last amount of sound quality possible.

Oh for sure.. i am certainly not saying to get rid of them.  Specalty built products will no doubt eek out that last bit of sonic quality compared to something like my v20, and should be available as a niche product.  More, i am just happy to see makers catch on that high quality audio should be available to, and is being demanded from, the masses, and we are getting much better AIO devices.

are there any problems with running this amp while charging?

Would you guys recommend this amp for HD650s and IE80? More of a on the go person so I listen to my IE80s most the time, but I'd like something to drive my HD650s at home, which I currently use unamped.

I use this to drive my HD700 - I currently don't use IEMs so would need others to comment on whether they need an amp...

Easily drives my HD600 and HD800S.  Will work OK with IEMs - you just won't have a huge amount of room on the pot.

This amp is fantastic for the price. Just wanted to chime in. Sounds great on my HE-560 and X5, feeding my cans enough power to shine on this mobile duo. My old E12 compressed soundstage a little and lacked some detail(though it was still decent for the $)the A5 does not seem to suffer from this on my setup. YMMV, however, this is a keeper for me.

I am grateful for the bass boost feature on this amp. It really brings my HE400i's to life when listening to certain songs in my collection.

Dear KaHuNaZ,
 
Glad to hear that.

Fiio, I wish you'd facilitate an exchange of my A5 titanium for a silver one though, gah.

Wile my A5 is on the way what you guys would recommend as a DAP for it in a budget $100-$250?
I'd like to have DAP with Bluetooth option to use in a car.
