Hi guys,
I've recently got the Fiio X5 as an upgrade to my iPhone as my source. However, i recently came across a friend with an ipod + DAC + amp combo that looked pretty heavy but sounded quite impressive. According to them, the dedicated DAC made up for the output.
Would like to ask if it's better in general to use a normal music player (i.e. ipod) if it's hooked directly to a portable DAC which is then hooked to an amp? Or would it be better and simpler to just hook up a dedicated DAP to an amp?
Would appreciate your thoughts.
