how to upgrade system?

more_vert
I am interested in upgrading my system. I have UE 18 CSX IEMs, using i-phone as source. I am interested in the Focal Elex headphones. What would be the best pairing with DAC/amp. Are there portable options that would work with both?

Something like this cube, has all the new stuff,, as well as an actual headphone amp in it; if you really want to power something like the Elex, on the go. https://www.astellnkern.com/eng/content/shop/features.asp?mcg=CG110000&mpos=0&scg=CG210210&spos=3&tcg=&tpos=0&gcode=SC35560

Want to hear an FPGA DAC, another way to skin a cat. Some say that is where they are staying, like it better than DS or SM... They should get a design award from MOMA for the Mojo, throw in a marketing award as well;)

The Elex just needs clean power with low output impedance, as KANN Cube owner it is a bit overkill for the Elex on the power front. Fantastic player that will drive just about everything I own (not the best HE6se pairing but works on high gain at around 120/150 volume).
