@mapman Sounds cool and I'm not familiar with that product. I'll take a look.
@cjk5933 Thanks for the kind words and glad you found the post useful. Your question is an excellent one and I'm still wrapping my brain around it, coming as I do from the high-end home system world to the portable audio world.
I'll say this: I find the portable/headphone experience to be quite different than the home audio experience, so it's not a matter of home "vs." portable, but rather, whether you find a portable experience musically satisfying and emotionally moving. I find that I listen differently via my Etymotic ER-4P IEM's and iBasso DX80 DAP than I do on my home rig. It's a more intimate experience in some ways. I'm planning on writing about this on my blog, but I don't yet have the vocabulary to do it! Give me some time and I'll have more to say. ;-)
