For European buyers, this ebay seller has started auctioning off his nx1's which means they're going even cheaper than the already super reasonable £21!!

Very good deal, even for £21! And yes NX1 is a nice pair with DT series.

So, I have some newly aquired havi b3s, and currently using an iPod touch 2nd gen. Sound is decent, havis gain quite a bit from amping with my audio gd 10se, but that's not portable! So, I understand the nx1 meshes well with the havis. My query is, I saw one post saying it did well with fostex t50s, wanted to know if anyone else had tried this. I have a short cable I could use for my t50s, and having this amp work for both as portables, would basically seal the deal. Thanks in advance, happy head-fieng...

I don't know it it's my post you're refering to but if not I can confirm that the NX1 pairs well with both my modded T50 RP's.

Can NX1 power AKG Q701? Would they synergize well?


It's been a while since I used the combination (the Cayin C5 came...) but iirc it worked pretty good.

The small size of the NX1 is really convenient for a portable amp

. Especially on smaller devices like iPod classic.

I bought the NX1 from Amazon, mainly because my Galaxy S5 has too weak power output for fullsize cans. I really like it, small and excellent finish, and it was fully charged in just a couple of minutes when using an old Sony Ericsson mobile charger.
 
I haven't tested it much yet but at least mission is accomplished as my Sony MDR-ZX700:s which I often use on the road(I normally use Sennheiser HD429:s as well) pumped out some mighty meaty bass which they have never put out before, and reaching ear popping volumes using the Galaxy S5 is now possible, Exactly what I was seaking for!
 
At home I mostly use Sennheiser HD600:s which are driven admirably by my Sony TA-FB940R integrated amp, but I was never completely satisfied with the performance of my Philips SHP8900:s. Interesting enough so is the NX1 much better at driving the Philips-cans than the fullsize integrated amp, the result  is a richer/thicker sound using the NX1, almost reaching the richness and fullness of the HD600-sound but still with Philips much wider soundstage intact. Using only the integrated amp, the Philips-cans sounds slightly thin and plasticky(but wide).
 
Obviously so is the SHP8900 a slightly difficult load, a load which poses no particular problem for the NX1. The Topping folks seems to know exactly what they are doing, very happy with the product so far!  :)

My topping cable is broken does anyone have any good suggestions that is under $15? Know Wokei along with some other people have an armada of them and know of some good values.


There are some nice cables here:

There's also nice FiiO cables under $15 as well. And, depending on where you purchase it, you may be able to get it sooner than ordering cables from Aliexpress.

  Stumbled over this neat little amp while browsing eBay and am now looking to pick one up. The eBay seller "TheNextBigThing" seems to ship the amp (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOPPING-NX1-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-with-USB-Rechargeable-Battery-/400641800915?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item5d481cbad3) from EU (Netherlands), can anyone confirm this or maybe recommend someplace else where i can buy without having to wait 4 weeks until it arrives to Sweden. 

That's where I got mine. Shipping was pretty slow so I'd guess it was shipped from somewhere else but other than that it was a good transaction.
