I owned X5 mk3 too. I'm also curious how does it sound when paired with A5.
But then again, you can also consider the Q1 mk2.
Currently I paired my X5 mk3 with e17k. But now already bought Teac HA-P50.

Keep listening bro and give full review..hehe.. 😎😎😎

Haha..wish I could pick one item and ask for your help to bring back to Malaysia..

Yeah bro..I'm thinking abt IEM or aftermarket cable. But then again, none of my bucketlist items were from US as most of them was from Japan, huhu.. 😂

Actually is an Onkyo DA200, sorry for my bad. But the specs are the same as Teac Ha-P50.
Should arrive by next week. I'll compare them both & give the impression later on..
I bought this DAC due to higher impedance & because my bucketlist 'cans' needs them..haha

So I received my dac earlier than I expected. I've done an A B test since it was the most efficient way to tell any differents. I've listened in hi-gain in X5iii only, while paired with e17k & ha200 as an amp I've listened in low-gain setting. When using e17k as an amp, I've set the bass & treble boost to 0 as ha200 doesn't have a bass or treble boost. I'm using ath-ws1100is to do the comparison.

So, after repeatedly playing the playlist and constantly switched back and forth, my opinion was:

Listening to X5iii only - switching low & hi-gain have a slightly different. Hi-gain brings out a bit more of details. For me..even X5iii is a good DAP, but listened to X5iii itself without an external amp did not convey 100% details of the songs.
E17K as an amp - brings more details above than average. Also improve the low bass a bit.
Onkyo HA200 as an amp - brings more and more details also improved low bass. I'm able to listened 'grainy' sound in old recordings. All I can say is the guitar, cymbal, violin & kick drum sounds more lively.

So yeah, I rec'd the ha200. But I still wonder how fiio X5iii sounds when paired with Q5ii & A5 as amp..maybe you can tell me your impression once you audition this two amps..😁

I've been there at Star Picker once & actually bought E17K from them. Will go there again to test few headphones but don't know when, hehe..

For Amp/DAC; maybe you can check out Fiio Q1 mk2 or Fiio E17k. Also you can check Topping NX series.

Guys, anyone know here in KL where to repair dac/amp? Mine one is a smsl dac/amp. The sound coming out from the dac was breaking badly. It was a brand new but instead of replacing the item, the seller will bear the cost of repair. Dang it, this thing killin' me.. 😑
