the design make me remind my Cowon i7 

i am not really understand what do you want, do you mean portable dac/amp for laptop? maybe you can search hifiman hm801 , support spdif input

ibasso dx100 and colorfly c4 support spdif out, but they are expensive maybe old player Iriver ihp100 series also archos jukebox

Very good news :D

i hope this new blox include donut foams :D

since when Cowon X5 rockbox can do dual boot? never heard of it i only know sansa line

for sound quality, i prefer X5L over J3 too, but it is too big and only have a few features

just tested donut foams, they are better than standard foam, i dont understand why they dont want to include donut foam in their package , CMIIW Blox TM5 include donut foams . btw, sometimes i regret sold my Blox TM5 , and they are discontinue now :(

what ampli do u use?

i dont know if this is already asked or not... why the volume button and EQualizer are still work when use the line out ?  dont know why i prefer the line out, it`s lack of power but i feel cleaner sound, no problem when using earphones

but my "stack" is defeated by this one..     picture taken from Mkubota1 thread

hi DanBa, thanks for your pointed out about "usb cable" , i thought all usb cables are same, i tested other usb cable (4 in total) , and only 1 worked   actually how to identify which usb cable should work and not work by physical design?   thanks again for your help.

i think the newer Colorfly C3 has a better internal DAC design, use TI/burr brown pcm1770   edit: eh wait, this thread is for Teclast T51... sorry off topic.

i have S3, ibasso D12, usb otg, but no sound on my earphones. is there any setting to make it work?

after some googling, i think it is still not released yet, but i am not sure, cannot read chinese/taiwanese :(   but i am not sure many people will interest in it, it is big video player

fit pocket, large capacity (at least 130gb), other than cowon x7 and ipod classic.... hard to find one...   maybe the closest one are: - Archos 48 (500gb but big size player, around 4.8 inch screen size), or a 60x series (4.3" screen size and around 160gb storage) - ibasso dx100 ( 64gb...

Teclast T59? http://www.imp3.net/1/show.php?itemid=32119   but maybe it is for video player market , LOL

Quote:   nope... it`s only single amping , only pratical devices xm4 do amping section.    Iriver ihp120 > optical out > Ibasso D12 as a DAC > passive buffer aka AAC aka filter caps > Piccolino cable to XM4 > Impedance Adaptor > Crossroads HR1

My "Portable" setup    

Quote:   dont forget Colorfly C4 and Terra too... and the upcoming QLS QA360 (price 2-3x higher than QA350V2)

@knights: u use usb audio out of Samsung galaxy S III to ibasso dac/amp?

Quote: and the price of Sansa Clip.....

APS? i think they are famous cable manufacturer since a long time ago? they are famous for recable Etymotic ER4 line    btw , u created in wrong forum , u should go here http://www.head-fi.org/f/21/cables-power-tweaks-speakers-accessories-dbt-free-forum

website? http://www.i-hifi.com/   as far as i know, what qusp said is true   u need internal dac that support 24 bit 192khz and other component must support it too , for example SoC (system on chip) 

WOW...., when i used Fiio E3, my music is become muddy, the bass was covering the mid frequency and high is roll-off, if  this ZO is bassier, this product should be created not for music, but only for bass
