"The Lab"

Don't have the 400i, have the 560 and the HEK. My buddy, @DrBlueNewMexico, has one, and I believe he has used the Denon DA-10 which he liked (though he did have some problems with the volume control. I have one that I like as well, no problems with the unit on my end).
https://www.amazon.com/Denon-10-Portable-USB-Headphone/dp/B00NTR49FI

Seen them for less as well, sometimes in Amazon's deal section, and at other sites. It's a bit bulky. I believe LH Labs Geek Out V2+ would work well too. Good impressions on the site (despite overall LH Labs issues).

There are actually many options out there these days...

Okay, noted. I also got recommendations for a Aune X1/S

Don't get them Vince, the only reason they've been in my ears for the last six hours now is that they're stucked, got nothing to do with them being bloody brilliant :wink:
It's a very very nice pair of headphones imo, I really love my pair. What's you're budget for a dac/amp?
Yeah, the V2+ is very nice with it as is the Opus #11. Best for me is still with tubes though so might be worth looking into such offerings as well.


Budget is around 200-250$ ( :wink: I don't mind used/refurbished amazon/ebay items for a lot less)

I'd agree on the O2 as an amp but imo there's better amp/dac combos for $300.

Anyone knows about those new tips?
 
 
  
 

 
 
Those are foams. But I have no idea if this is the same kind of foam as in the comply tips or maybe it have different "elastic" properties 
 
Here is another pic. back of the package

@leobigfield if I remember correctly, maybe you could check out my post (today) comparing the Fiio E12A amp to the new A5 (but early days)
