If anyone is plugging lineout of X3ii into a 'high end' tube amp, I'd like know if it's working out fine
I m trying to determine if X3ii's line out is clean enough

  Has anyone else ever experienced that when you put headphones in and out (not even just headphones, even just cables) in the headphone port, there comes 2 clicking sounds? As if they come from the inside of the device. I just restarted my X3II and it stopped doing that now.. still scary, hope I don't have a defect unit. 

It is normal, don't worry.

It's just the switch relay avoiding your headphones popping when the amp turns on.
Don't worry, all systems nominal

I'm thinking of getting the q1 and stacking it also. How does it sound with IEMs? Is the volume wheel easily reachable?

I can't answer this because I don't use iem's.  I have no issues with my headphones.

I like the changes to the website...looks good. I thought I was on the wrong site at first..

Even by just leaving the headphones plugged in, I hear it every now and then, that's normal?

what do you mean by "now and then"? if it's only at the start up or turn off, that's normal, otherwise, i'm not too sure everything's fine. Or, at least, mine does it only at start up/turn off

If your device is set to switch off for quick power on again, then yes it will do it when your device is paused. It doesn't only do it with a complete shut down and restart.

^^ This and also when you plug out the headphones and plug it back in and hit play when the device is in the ON state. So basically you'll heard the clicks anytime a signal is about to flow into / cut from the headphone.

I don't think these clicks are unique to Fiio DAPs either...

Correct. I have seen people talk about these clicks in one of the iBasso threads too.

Yes, they were actually louder with the DX50 I used to own.

I have been using the e12a with my X3ii for the last few days. I am pleased with the combination and like the additional bass control. I can drive my Fidelio x2s to normal levels at about 1/3 of total volume on low gain.

I have a few accessories to get to complete the stack. But so far so good.

For comparison sake, on the x3ii I ran at about 2/3 volume, so plenty of headroom for other cans.

That's really good! Full sized headphones at 1/3 volume and on low gain. I use IEMs mostly but if I want to get some headphones (and I have looked at the X2s more than once) I'll need to get an amp too...probably the same one you have. Glad to hear it's working out well for you.

The 4db bass switch is not too much to be overpowering. X2 pairs well with them. Go for it Bruce, get the X2. I have yet to try my new stack with my 325e, but hope to do so soon.
