The unit is very light but it comes with a small crocodile clip. The weight of the i1 is 13 grams which equals the weight of Hifiman's RE-400.

thank you for the input.. good to know it got a clip.
I´m sure it won't be an issue in a home environment.. but i plan to use it as a "daily driver" with a short iem cable, where additional 13g -pulling on my plugs- are actually something to consider.

80cm of i1 cable, plus at least 100cm from the earphones, seems like a lot of cable to me...

at least sennheiser offers a short version (60cm LINK) ... got myself one of these weeks ago.. should end up with the i1 at chest height.
 
fiio got a cable product line (senn-connector & mmcx) for their amps with a 2,5mm balanced connector, guess they could offer a suiting short aftermarket 3,5mm stereo cable if they want.
 
@FiiO
any plans in this direction?
when will distributors receive the i1?
 
cheers

Dear neopac,
 
1. Now we are working on the Bluetooth Receiver named BTR1. The project is a receiver with 3.5 mm headphone output. One short MMCX cable will be included with the receiver.  Not sure whether this can meet you need.
 
2. The i1 may be sent to the sellers about 1or 2 weeks latter.
 
Best regards

I think I remember on Fiio's site it seemed to say that it was an Apple limitation

Yes, on the first page of this thread.

However Bluetooth should not be limited by any Apple issues and I thought it could be possible to have the audio streamed by an external app such as Onkyo straight to the Bluetooth receiver in higher than16 bit and be decoded by the DAC in the BRT1?

Oh, I'm not sure about that, but wouldn't it be bandwidth limited?
I just received another device for review - a bluetooth receiver that has Line Out and Optical Out....kind of strange....for the optical out, it would seem like the file is getting converted many times before it reaches the ears.

My understanding is that Bluetooth bypasses the transmitter's DAC and therefore will transfer the bits to the receiver which can either ( in the case you were talking about) decode audio files or in the case of optical out it will send the audio as digital out to the external DAC. With the lineout the receiver will decode the audio and send a fixed line out volume for an amp.

A few years ago I had a Fiio product that sounded really fine when connecting it to a pc via USB.

However, when I connected the dac to an iPad or iPhone using a camera connection kit the sound was not good. There was a significant difference. Now the sound completely lacked fullness.

What could the reason be? Should an MFi cable solve the problem?
