Sup guys, just pulled the trigger on the Ibasso DX50, and well i'm fairly impressed, it really is a big step up from the sansa clip+, very dynamic and great transparency, only complain is it's not as portable as the clip+, fells solid but the size is quite big and have to be quite careful at times fearing I will accidentally scratch the lush and beautiful body, time to get a silicon case  biggrin.gif

so in my opinion, the DX50 definitely is a great step up from the clip+, albeit the buggy system, the SQ definitely makes it up for me, enjoying music on the DX50 now  cool.gif

you must have bought the older batch without the silicone case  sweat.gif

a clear plastic case should come with these things instead, the silicone casing while rather nice and feels soft etc, kinda put alot of resistance when i try to sheathe my dac into my pocket.

Hi all,

Need some advice on getting a player.

Price: RM700-1k

Usage: Music during working trips, cars, flight etc

Headphone: FAD Heaven II

Model that I've been checking out: Hidizs AP100 (from jaben site) (seem like a good deal), Fiio x3, x5, Ipod+Rockbox?

I'm quite new to these. I have only use normal smartphone with stock iem.

Got the FAD recently and like it very much. And think it's wise to get a standalone player.

Thanks in advance.

i owned an x3 and quite happy with it, but with ur budget u probably ca bumped u can wait and bumped up to x5.
x3 itself is already superior to ur hphone especially if u listen to FLAC songs on it.

I'd say the X3 but as Lego said, better to upgrade your current IEMs. I suggest the FAD Heaven V, then maybe consider a new DAP.

Hey man any recommendation for a good IEM to pair with x3, i just got a brainwavs B2 , but i find the higher end frequency is too harsh when paired up, the drums snares and crash is so loud during a rapid runs on songs.

What's your budget? Music genre/signature preference?

Also try asking the headphone suggestion thread?

oh yeah, i've already got good headphones, just IEM for my workouts and daily travels.
nah no problem man maybe will look into it in distant future as IEM is still inferior to headphones imo.
