Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC

Sorry for being such a newbie, but this stuff is fascinating and I like talking to people with a similar obsession for good sound and music.

I sold the HPP1 not because it wasn't good -- it was very good - but because I wanted what was considered the best at the time (3 years ago) - separate amp (ALO) and DAC (Cypher Lab) using an iPod as a source. But the Mojo is better than all of them. iPod cannot be used with Mojo, a separate "transport" is needed, such as a DAP using the digital out into Mojo. Suggest you look at the various threads in Head-Fi, but there are many and it's much reading. 

Correction: An iPod can be used as a source with the Mojo provided that the iPod has a lightning connector, such as the iPod Touch, and not the older 30 pin connector, such as the iPod Classic. That is, an device with the 30 pin connector cannot be used with the Mojo.

I have the old ones...which is why I got the HPP1...maybe I should upgrade my DAP. I have my music on 3 iPod classics, one modified to hold 320 gigs.

What DAP would you recommend?
