TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

I'm debating whether to go with this or the Fiio E11k. I'll be using Fiio X1 > amp > Havi B3. I've read many times that this can out-perform the E11, but will it be better than the E11k? Also, my other question is, are the velcro patches that come with the NX1 any good? I'd like to save $15 and not buy the X1 stacking kit if they are.

Go with Fiio E11 if you want the bass boost and warmer sound....NX1 will be clean with little colorisation.....me used "O"ring gasket from motorbike for stacking me amp...





Hope this helps you...Cheers

Thanks for your help! I just need a neutral sound, nothing overpowering anything else, so I may go with the NX1. Also, I'd prefer not to use bands that go around the player, I've never used it but they seem like they'd be in the way a bit. I'll likely go with the NX1 and try out the velcro and bands; if they don't work, I'll get the FiiO X1 stacking kit.

If it doesn't work out ..then you can try using 3M dual lock low profile ...personally me don't like to stick tape on me gears ....thats just me


It's not an issue of you get the dual lock with the correct adhesive. It uses either acrylic or rubber based adhesive. Avoid the acrylic. The rubber adhesive dual lock can be removed and the surface cleaned easily without any noticeable difference.

I use Head-fi bands from meets or dual lock. It just depends on the rig and what I'm using it for.

I use mine with the 3M circular velcros which came with the NX1 amp. I have been using it for more than 3 months. They are strong and reliable. YMMW

I might just use what comes with the NX1 then, thanks for your help. Do you know if the adhesive comes all the way off? And do you use any bands?

I only use 4 velcro coins for to attach it to my iPod Touch. Adhesive never came off. Never peeled. Holds securely. I use elastic hooks only for my other players. When I receive my spare 3M velcro coins from Aliexpress seller, I will not use the bands anymore.
