Na I would skip that one. Keep your eyes on the prize. Why is this one worth paying attention to. Simple. These are ATs version of the FXD70 FXD80. Using micro HD drivers that is also in the MH1.. These will be around $50 or so but I am thinking will be worthy of purchasing. I plan on getting one as soon as they are released in Japan. December 14th it says

 

700

I predict some incredible imagery with a quality bass end to this one. If tuned to their consumer sound as the price would indicate. This one should be a good one.

This IEM looks amazingly stylish in my opinion. The ring is worthy here, I hope you will enjoy the sound of these so everyone can buy one :P.

Well so this is lameness that is ebay. They are charging almost $100 for these. Amazon Japan will have them for $40. Even with tenso forwarding they will be half that. 

 

One thing I am somewhat worried about is Customs tax. My 2 FXZ earphones was shipped from them and total over $400. If customs tax is charged I can throw out any type of good deal I got using the service...

Do you get custom taxed for over $400? I've ordered plenty already from Amazon Japan and using Tenso and I've never been taxed. Then again I think my highest purchase amount has been near $200 from them. But decided to break up my FXZ purchase, and order the 200s with the Maxwell DBA-700 (perhaps next week or after Xmas). I think you will do okay unless a certain dollar amount is custom taxed.

I sure hope he did not.

 

Also, you changed your mind about ordering the 200s after christmas?

You are fast!  You got it before I could remove it!.  I just post it, to see how it looked with the intention to remove it right away. HA, HA.

 

Wait till tomorrow (Tuesday).  I will be posting some info that should help in the decision about which USB cable you should buy.

Quick question - been reading the thread about the ele DAC.  For less than $20, its hard to pass up.  However, I have a fiio USB DAC/Amp E10.  Does the ele compare/is it better?  What would the difference be?  Also, does the ele work with a Mac as far as drivers are concerned?

 

TIA.
