Hi guys,

Recently started to appreciate better quality audio, and would like some advise and guidance as I am pretty fresh in this scene.

Currently I only have a Shure se215 and Goldring dr150, and listen to music from my phone/iPad. I am considering to get a dap. Which route would be the better one for the following?

1) Fiio x1 plus DAC
2) iBasso dx90

Generally my idea is since I'm a beginner, should I start slow with lower budget, or go straight to something better than beginner gear and thus able to forget about upgrading till the device breaks. I mostly listen to pop, rock, rap, electric and metal.

Any ideas or advice will be much appreciated!  notworthy.gif

i would recommend dx90 for the multipurpose function embedded,it can line out, 3 gain levels, coaxial out, dac on pc, support micro sd and usb otg, can use rockbox or custom tuned official firmware, with so much feature on a dual dac device,what's not to like? it's like a general problem solver

besides that, there are official staff of ibasso specifically dealing with dx90 issues on headfi forum, that's almost live support as per say

Is it worth upgrading to an x1 from an LG g4? Currently use the UE900.

Hi all sifu here, just a bit confused about DAC/Amp stack with DAP.

If we use this combination,, is it mean the DAC/amp part will play the role to produce the sound which bypass the dac function in DAP?

If use different DAP + DAC/amp will produce same sound signature?
Example:-
Sony ZX2 + Mojo sound quality will same with AK120 + Mojo?
*
no, cause the dac processing and the circuit design of the source is different, provided all things equal, ZX2 and AK120 will sound different, at least thats what i think

Yeah I agree that was awkward. Having Rob Watts flat out tell you they weren't involved in the deal.

I think for this one massdrop contacted a merchant selling many units of the Mojo at a very slight discount. But a question still stands. I thought they were price-controlled?
*
they are, hence the source of these stocks are left questionable, even the price isn't exactly justified "massdroppably attractive "

Last week I went to your Sungei Wang plaza store to try, sound is amazing for the price, it is just that the system is not stable yet.

all device firmware takes time, and it lies on how much faith we have on their software team, take ibasso for instance, they have Paul-Ibasso at headfi to handle customer service at the dx90 section, thats a thumbs up from me

FiiO X5 & X5ii supports 2x micro sd if I'm not mistaken. Should be well below 1.5k now that the 3rd gen is out. Except no online/internet streaming if he doesn't mind.
