Hi, just wondering if anyone knows whether this is good for the Philips X1 or whether there is a need to get an amp for the Philips X1 ? Primary using it on my desktop with Xonar Essence STX and my Cowon X9 player. Thanks.

shadowliteThe X1 is low impedance, so you don't need an amp for the volume. You've already got a really nice sound card, so it wouldn't do you much good there, and the Cowon doesn't have a digital out, so you'd be wasting the DAC half on that as well.
If you want to get a better setup for home, you're looking at something significantly higher end than what you already have, this wouldn't be an upgrade. For portable use, I wouldn't bother with the X9, this only really becomes worth it if you can get a digital out that allows you to utilize both the DAC and amp.
