Hi, I have a SR125i, Q701, T50rp and possibly will buy a MSPro or RS1i. Will I benefit from using this DAC with said headphones? Also, how is the DAC part compared to Fiio X3's built-in? Thanks. I like the idea of using it together with speakers, this is another selling point for me.

rikaldreyThe D1 as a DAC will be a great match with any of your headphones, especially the AKG and Fostex ones !
But as an amp it is far from ideal for these cans, and I advise against it.
See, the D1 amp has a very high gain (20db) , a relatively high output impedance (10ohm) and linear taper volume knob. All these combined will make for a very bad match with low impedance and highly efficient headphones, especially the Grado's !
I'd go for the Fiio E10 if budget is tight, The Fiio E9 will also be a good match, especially combined with the HiFimeDIY Sabre DAC.
