As mentioned in my thread, I be only needing th D3 for my Smart TV connection into my amp.
I do not own the Musical Fidelity V-DAC at all. I had the X-10D, X-Cans that's all.
I am skeptical about the reviews as that all these brands/makers only spring out the couple of years. More than 10 years ago when I jus bought my HD-600 not many of choices n makers.
During those times, there's only makers like Theta, Sonic Frontiers, etc. All these brands strictly manufacture on their strong sides, like Theta & Sonic Frontiers only make digital equipment Cd transport, DAC, Digital AV processor. Just like Mcintosh makes good amplifiers, same goes to Dynaudio makes good affordable speakers.
When u listen in headphones vs speakers is rather hard to gauge who will be better performer in both sides.
Moreover as I had mentioned my I tension of usage purpose, how I judge things is basing on my references rather than reviews. Does that mean if reviewers are paid n will give very top notch reviews?
Furthermore the local shops here do not carry this particular model. It's only avail through online ordering, so does that mean this item is really so VFM, I could not tell. From my business point of view, it's basically demand n supply. The local shop feels the rest of the FiiO products deserve higher opportunity rather than this D3.
