I can't believe H2O took the RDB+ :-P. Can't be outdone!!
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

They're almost exactly the same as the design I originally planned. Nice!

You bought the last one so it this was my only option. I've only listened to it briefly on the Shinkansen (going snowboarding) and (to my relief) does sound different from my former 1Plus2. The relief doesn't mean the RDB+ is superior though but different. More listening required. I'm sure this 8mm driver sounds different from yours which I'm still curious about.
The low end is said to be tighter on the revised RDB+, and mids more natural, it's considered by Rhapsodio an upgrade in both build/sound quality, so I'll be interested to hear the demo coming soon. My fear is wanting to buy one, but I'm sure the RDB+ I have currently would sell easily if I decided to switch over.
Time will tell!

look forwardto more you have to say about it and am impressed if it your even comparing it too the more than double the price 1p2.
As for designs yours is very nice! I have the R^2 dual dynamic model coming to me and went a bit crazy with the colours, right their candy pink and left their solid white... should look interesting!

iPod Classic 160GB (Rockboxed) + FiiO E11 + ATH-M35 / Rock It Sounds R-50
It all starts with great music! :)
I also have the ATH-M50S, but those are strictly at-home headphones for me.

My absolutely humble beginner setup. Ipod classic 160GB, Fiio LOD, Fiio E6 (upgrading to E17), Shure SE 215 LE.

You should check out the Fiio E12, it's an overall better amp then the E17

I'm very interested in the FiiO E12. Is it possible to order it yet? I'm in Canada and I haven't found a site that has it available for order.

How do you like those SE215LE's? I have the SE425's and was hoping they would "specialimatize" that line as well.

It's not a LOD, it's a USB OTG cable going to what I think is a Sabre Dac
