He's right santhoshr, I used to think that the ipod buds had the best SQ at one point of time. Now after trying so many iems I realized that I used to live in a bubble. Its easy to disregard expensive iems if one hasn't tried them, he can only imagine how good SQ could be and how much more it...

I was expecting to learn a bit more about it from you guys other than just the name. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. My bad.

Increase your budget or get a JVC Marshmellow and call it the day.

^personally i really dislike the klipsch s4, but that's just my personal taste. You should audition them personally. The bass is muddy, the treble i found to be too sibilant (on a high volume, the mids were overpowered by the bass and the stock tips din't provide enough isolation. YMMV of...

I agree with almost all the points mentioned by esanthosh except for the charging time, my sflo2 charges in less than 2hrs for sure from dead to full battery. Maybe it takes 6hours charging it through a PC cause that is really slow but through the adapter its much faster.

I would suggest you save up a bit and buy something like the Brainwavez M2. Your 1.5k iem will not even be worth half the price if you decide to sell it after 6months to upgrade to something better. Just my 2 cents :)

I am using the Sflo2 every single day since the last 18 months and I feel it has the best SQ. Take my suggestion with a pinch of salt. Sure, I wish it had gapless playback and a better battery life and it could most definitely use a better UI(especially scrolling) but when the music starts...

I can buy one for you here and send it to you after a few months ;)

A step up from the Fiio e7 would be either the Audinst MX1, HRT MS2, Yulong U100 or even the Centrance Dacmini as suggested earlier. These should drive your gear pretty well. You can of course add an amp later if needed. Atleast you should be good as done in the DAC department.

What's your rig like? Are you looking for something portable or a desktop dac + amp? Any preference for sound signature?

Well if specs are to go by then the Asus Xonar ST/STX sound card provides 124db of SNR. ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Multimedia- ASUS Xonar Essence STX Also to be considered for the price point is the uDAC by nuForce NuForce Icon uDAC

Just a random question. I've read in some threads that the Burson is powerful enough to drive passive bookshelves. Is that statement just a marketing gimmick and if it can, what speakers can I look at?

Could you please tell us a little more about the dacs you've mentioned sir along with the pricing. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to DACs and wouldn't know what to check or look for.
