Wonder if anyone has tried this with the ETHER C pads. They're round, so may have a better fit?

My guess is that replacing everyone's ZO ended up being too costly to keep it going. The way the chip was glued to the board, it was probably not a simple software update. I do hope I'm wrong, I'd love for another ZO to see the light of day. Maybe they put it out as software, or can license the...

Both are fun. FS is tighter, has more power, and better quality. The 2 has a warmer feel. It's the difference between CDs and vinyl. Clearly what DigiZoid needs to do with the 3.1 is make a it a setting hahah.   I get the feeling that the ZO 2 was a bit more analog than the FS, but I could be...

There's certainly something to be said about making a dumb analog device rather than a full out software-driven digital one.

Have I got a deal for you. I'll beat their price and give you mine for $250. :D

  I'm curious to know more! It's all just an analog audio signal in the end, I'd think that so long as there is no clipping/distortion during recording or playback, it should accurately reproduce it, other than whatever minor coloring the extra ADC/DAC step adds.

Listen to the samples I posted. If you have a good amp already, it should reproduce what the ZO will sound like pretty well.  

Small update re: IEMs. I sent my ZO back to get the freezing issue resolved, and received some other changes as well. The distracting ticks I noted every 2-3 seconds with super sensitive IEMs have been completely eliminated. I can finally recommend the FS to my IEM-using friends! Will post...

Double-boosting sounds crazy. You must really like bass! If you want bass that's a little warmer, you can probably get by with EQing it prior to the ZO.

  I noticed this too. I will need to record my 2.3 to make sure, but I think the 2.3 is fooling us.   The 2.3 had two things going for it: First, contour 1 actually reduced bass below 50Hz. The FS contour 1 does not reduce it as much. The 2.3 also had a lot of change between 1-8 and very...

  I'm guessing your headphone out is amped and you were overdriving the ZO. I can't think of any other reason you'd experience poor sound through one.

  Yep, been working with MizMoxie to diagnose it for the past week. There's at least one bug, maybe two. Until they confirm a fix, do not let your device get low on battery -- I'd charge it every 4hr or so of use.   If yours does happen to lock up, you can recover it. First plug it in to...

What it looks like on the inside    

Final review - IEMs.   Etymotic ER6i   I'm pretty much always at a place where I don't mind wearing full-sized headphones, so I don't use IEMs much anymore. Hence these are a rather old model, but I've got brand-new filters for them and they sound good as ever, so lets go for it. The ER6i...

First sample, some dubstep/breaks - DotEXE's Battle Cry. 30 sec clip of it only -- first number is bass, second is treble. Takes a while to prepare these so maybe one or two a day.   https://mega.co.nz/#!9o5W1LiZ!hVhzJDL2Iip34JUYlGgkZSRlkAyn5Drpne5RwWVa5fc
