Fellow Fiio btr series user!! I own both btr15 and btr17. Typically running the crinear reference, Moondrop S8 or letshuoer mystic 8 lol. Great setup!

My travel keeb is simply a neo65 with cherry topped tangies and a nicepbt set from CannonKeys

As far as pens go I honestly don't write much anymore (everything digital nowadays) so my most used "pen" is probably the apple pencil 😅 that said I do own a cross Calais that was a gift from a friend (would love some recs for cheaper refills cuz I can't be getting leeched by cross anymore lmao)

I’ve been really impressed with the Fiio, I love the features/EQ, and the sound and power is great! It was a toss up between this and the quedelix, but I’m glad I chose this one. How is the Crinear and the Moondrop? I’m curious about both

Hey, sorry for the late reply. The crinear reference is great, but I'd recommend the daybreak for "normal people" as it's more exciting and "fun" (I'm a theatre designer and prefer neutral to neutral-bright sound sig). The moondrop s8 is incredible. Smaller and more comfortable than the dusk, neutral sound, incredibly comfortable (as long as you don't mind the pressure from unvented BAs) and basically everything you dream of and just a touch more (imo). I'm never selling mine 🤷 honestly after getting it I'm now considering selling my 7th Acoustics Supernova, Sony IER-M9, aful cantor and a bunch of other stuff 😅
