I've read the big KZ thread and I'm probably good with what I have, from them. I recently had a guy on the gun board telling me he wouldn't use my ZSTs if I bought them from him, but coming off of a Target special Skull Candy, they and the Symphonized jobbies sound good and are well broken in.

Some stuff that I have on my Ebay watch list:

iBasso IT 01 @ $110 shipped.

Final Audio Heaven II @ $90 shipped.

Kinera SEED @ $50 shipped.

Tin Audio T2 @ $52ish shipped.

There are so many to choose from in that under $50, $40, even $30 range, that trying a few isn't that much of a monetary hardship for me and I'm kind of poor, lol.

I'm content with AAC and my iPod and might just live with those. A member here, who I worked with over the past 5 months, got an LG V30 just for the MQA circuit and he's loving it.

He just got a pair of CampFire Audio Lyra IIs in and let me listen to an iBasso entry model while we worked, but it was just for a few seconds.

I'll wait for the two I have coming next week, from Penon Audio in Hong Kong and then I'll probably just cool off a bit...start looking for one of the better, but still cheap (<$200) DAPs and see what I see.

I just thought it odd, that in a subset of the HiFi (Fidelity/Truth) hobby, that people are actually striving for a F.R. plot that looks as if somebody was undergoing electro-shock therapy, when they plotted it.
