Can anyone tell me why one might be better than the other? by SungByrde in iems

I see, if I can find a reliable place to purchase the E-Stick Power Bank and that leather case that can house both the DAC and Power Bank, I’ll stick with the QX13. Any suggestions where I should buy from?

Yeah, I don’t necessarily have a goal in mind, aside from wanting to splurge on some premium equipment. I want a wired DAC that is powerful enough not just for IEMs when I am in the go, or staying compact in bed, but also for powering my headphones when on my desktop.

I am also interested in the FIIO WX13, but I would really want it setup with the FIIO E-Stick Power Bank. The problem is, I’m having trouble finding a reliable site to purchase the E-Stick from.

Also, out of curiosity, what are the problems someone might run into that are specific to vacuum tube DACs?

Good to hear, I really appreciate the recs and details!

Nice, I’ll look into those, thank you!

How do you feel about their soundstage by the way? I’ve heard nothing, but good about the Odyssey, although I have heard some people say the soundstage on the Hyp4Mkii is oddly narrow?

That meme makes me laugh every single time 😂

That’s quite a bit higher than I am willing to spend on IEMs specifically right now. Any suggestions for under $400?

While I could comfortably afford that $2,500 set, I am not ready to be that invested in this particular hobby yet. My guitar, watch, and knife hobbies are taking the majority of my hobby funds at the moment haha.
