Most recently he told me to buy the just released Colorfly tablet, and that's is better than any American tablet, with a real gold-plated PCB and high sound quality..................... http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a220o.1000855.0.0.f82UZD&id=18693898220&pos=3&uuid=b08f105c-dde2-4833-b032-af014b3f6b5f&scm=1003.3.03054.1_AB-LR32-PR32&acm=03054.1003.1.83.18693898220_1

 
That Kiteki guy got banned... is that any indication? lol

 
He said it was for flaming a manufacturer.  I'm buying the tablet anyway, I think it looks really nice, but it'll be my first tablet so I won't be able to compare to anything.

Yup, I have one of them 1543's, less detailed and quite musical.  I like that sound sometimes since the music doesn't ask for your focus, it's just there.
 
 
Well actually to be fair I haven't had any issues with any of my Chinese products, except for one which used glue instead of solder, so then I pulled a wire by mistake and it came out of the glue, and then it was a real pain to put that wire connected to other wires back with electrical tape (since I didn't have any solder).
 
When I say "junk" I mean they don't look very good, basic enclosures, and some of them sound different than I expected them to..., of course the low prices mean I can try sooooo many of them which would be impossible with American, European or Japanese products.
 
Right now I'm using a cheap Chinese ES9018 DAC, it's the best sounding one.  ES9018 is considered by many to be the best DAC chip on earth, and I didn't have to pay very much for this really well made DAC.  Of course I had to buy it from the Chinese internet not in English which isn't easy, but hey I'm listening to bliss and heaven. =)

 
Which DAC is that?

Rather than confuse you with Chinese links, I'll try to write a solid review of it sometime soon.  It's truly end-game sound for less than $200.

Keep an eye out for this one...

Not too much to tell, ATM. Astrotec model which will be powered by a quality dynamic driver(1,000Yuan/US$150 quality level according to them) and has a special cavity and special tuning for a open sounding, speaker-like effect.


Similar look to these and not as expensive(edit: actually these are the same)...
The new Astrotec AM-700 are out, and they are between the AM-90 & AM-800 in price. They look like a mix between the AM-90 & AM-800; I wonder how they differ in SQ and comfort.

AM-90 $40, AM-700 $47, and AM-800 $48

Where can I buy replacement tips for my CKN70s? I can't find my medium tips, which are the tips that I use.

Fwiw, imo a pretty accurate review of the 1k's from TheGame21x here:

Great read! Just made my cravings for the CKS1000 come back to life

To counter this, I just tell myself that the Basso DX210 + C5 = CKS1000.
Is my equation even close to "accurate" Wayne?
