Gen3 Fiio X5 ranges from 3-3.2k HKD. Possibly the biggest issue for the AV show is that the team received the ES the day of, so not much marketing stuff like pamphlets/flyers were available. Something I forgot to mention above as well. Charging is via a USB-C port.- Verloren

Had some time with it, although the one on display was an engineering sample. Well tuned system. Very resolving with Empire Ears Supra IIs (tested with Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World). Bass felt impactful. I didn't try any songs with strong treble. The GUI does take some getting used...- Verloren

AFAIK, they don't convert universal to custom.- Verloren

In theory, no. In reality, there will be differences due to degree of isolation + shape of ear canal.- Verloren

EE's customs tend to be on the larger side. My Supra II is much larger than a friend's CustomArt.- Verloren

Boomtube was asking for the universal, not CIEM. They might have some later, but right now, it looks like only the black chrome version is available. If the option is available, it will be in the drop down menu.- Verloren

LG might end up having to do something similar to what nVidia did for the 970, although that class action suit only benefited the lawyers.- Verloren

LG V10 : New ESS Chipped Flagship Android Phone from LG
I still don't see how it's possible to cram 4 DACs onto a mobile device motherboard. Here are the ESS DAC chip sizes for the mobile products: ES9028Q2M: 5mm x 5mm 9018C2M: 2mm x 2.15mm ES9018K2M: 5mm x 5mm ES9016K2M: 5mm x 5mm ES9010K2M: 5mm x 5mm Here's an image of a LG V10...- Verloren

The only way I see it having 4 DACs if it is the size of a Nexus 7/iPad mini, and that would still come at the cost of a smaller battery.- Verloren

I didn't test the Zeus R. I tried the Arthur and SpartanIV+Merlin cable. My friend did the Arthur amd Zeus R, and his comments were the Arthur had better detail retrieval vs the Zeus R. Warmer sound and more intimate too. The Zeus R wasn't on the BTG Starlight - rather, it was on the stock EE...- Verloren
