Hey John,
I think it's great that we all find what works for us. I have my new Ruby SACD player/DAC and it's just lovely, perfect for my needs of a SACD disc player and DAC. Those who've given up on the silver discs have what works for them.
I wanted to ask, how are the headphone outputs on those players?

I think the headphone outputs are great. I have a number of different headphones and earphones and they all sound fine to me. My favorite earphone is the new FD7, which is really superb. It's the best I've ever heard. I also have the FD5, which is excellent, too. I have several other FiiO earphones in addition to Koss ESP/950 electrostatic headphones and a couple of pairs of Grado headphones, the HP-1 and RS-2. I probably have 10 different headphones and earphones and they all work very well with my FiiO digital players. I have the original Grado headphone amplifier, but I haven't used it in quite some time because the FiiO players work just fine. The headphone output on my TASCAM DA-3000 is also very good.
I wish I had access to the top-of-the-line Stax headphones because I'd like to compare them with my FiiO FD7 earphones just to see how much better the Stax are. ;-)
Best regards,
John Elison
Thanks, and good to know, a portable player is on my list of wants. I'm looking at new headphones and would love to try e-stats and planars. Having a hard time trying to figure out how much to spend. I never really was a headphone guy, but current living situation with the wife still working from home for the foreseeable future requires it.
One of the amps I'm looking at seems like they can drive almost anything (maybe not Stax...but most others from the specs.) IEM's are most definitely not for me for long term listening. I like the isolation, but just have a hard time with comfort.
