  To all people who missed the pre-order, it is unfair to people who pay the deposit and joined the pre order first if we allow people can still pre order the E12DIY after the deadline. 
 
and none will interested join the similar activity in the future. I am sorry for this although I can understand your situation.

 
 

  Why don´t you better offer a second chance to the people that didn´t get the silver ones: go for the golden option!!!  I´m in

to answer your  question. above is what james wrote a few pages back.

That was before the gold option which could serve as a separate "product preorder."

I prefer to stay with Silver color for the "Pre-Order" Limited Edition, without a color choice option that can be confusing: IMHO it's better to have Silver Edition for pre-ordered units, eventually offering different color option for future release.
 
Then, coming to a question to JamesFiiO:
 
May i ask you what you think about using Muses01 or Muses02 on E12 DIY Limited Edition? Thanks!

 

[ampair]

to me, both colors look equally nice from an asthetic point of view.
but i think silver would fit the device better since it's the more natural, "raw" color of the metal itself, thus representing the "do it yourself" part.
 
just my 0.02€.

Gold version for me, if I have a choice. Most important is that shipping is asap.:rolleyes:

Thank you fiio girls and guys.

MUSES would be great but they're quite costly. My Venturecraft Go-DAP DD uses a MUSES01 opamp and it sounds fantastic.

his answer should still stand. it doesnt make sense to open a gold option e12 for you guys. thats like screwing those who supported the original preorder. 

 

[toears]

well, maybe I misunderstood. I did the preorder. But about the color, I don't mind silver or gold. As long as shipping will be soon.

Thanks for your answer!
 
I think that the real problem is finding a reliable source: i saw the couple Muses01 + Muses02 sold on eBay for € 55, but i don't know if it is a trusted seller...

 

[RAFA]

I like gold a little more, bu it does not matter to me. I am happy with silver too.

 

[TekeRugburn]

Either one is fine. Or maybe we could have both and add the extra money to have both cases.

 

[TekeRugburn]

Or even better fiio can act as a middle man for a group buy for the muses01 Opamp.

 

[evilhippie]

+1 to both those ideas... especially a group buy for the muses01, as there's so many fakes floating around in the wild and they're so difficult to source. 

 

[TekeRugburn]

That's the thing I'm most worried about. I have no clue where to buy a legit one

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

I am in for the gp buy...
