Eric was very fast, and very consistent, lap after lap. Same with Brian. The last three laps were nerve-racking. Four of us where in a tight group and crossed the finish line within 1.2 seconds of each other. A really big finish for a long day. Jason Lord was so calm, he has nerves of steel, saw...

Hey everyone,   This year marks the return of TekFX to CanJam, representing SoundMAGIC headphones and FiiO electronics. We had an absolute blast at the show, from both sides of the show tables. Nothing beats sitting down with end users to get their real time feed back on the products we help...

This is correct, Micca Store was one of the first official FiiO dealers in the US and is listed on the "Where to Buy" section on FiiO's website.   With regards to ratings, Age8E might be referring to Reseller Ratings. I'll just say that Reseller Ratings charges a fee for merchants to...

Guys,   This is Jack from TekFX. I don't post here often but wanted to chime in on the X1 shipping situation.   MiccaStore.com in my memory has never advertised anything for pre-order prior to receiving stock. Sometimes a product listing would be enabled on the day that a delivery commitment...

All,   TekFX would like to apologize to the organizers and attendants of the SoCal Head-Fi meet for the behavior of our representative at the event. We were excited to attend the event as it was our initial in-person involvement with Head-Fi meets. However, we mismanaged the preparation for...

Quote:   This is the reason why Micca began offering some good optical cables in for use with the E17, because there were very few good and affordable cables that worked well. Being a portable product, the E17 does not work well with the bulky home AV cables as some of the connectors are...

Quote:   Hey,   If you are referring specifically to the E10, the $76 price on miccastore.com is the normal price. Unauthorized grey-market sellers on Amazon cause the price there to be lower, which is why you see other authorized resellers matching the lower prices on that...

Quote:   The E6 has not been out of stock. It's not fulfilled by Amazon, but it's there... 

Hey,   If you order a D3 from the miccastore.com web store, it will be shipped out of Fairfax VA. Ordering it through Amazon depends - if fulfilled by Amazon, it's not possible to tell where it will be shipped from. Fulfilled by Micca, it will come from Fairfax VA as well.

It's very sad to see FiiO products being copied and sold like this. While the differences make it pretty apparent that it was a counterfeit E6, I am still shocked at how close it manages to look like the real thing.   To protect yourself:   1. Buy from an authorized reseller. FiiO will...

Hey,   I can't answer that, unfortunately. But it's been the most successful new product launch for FiiO ever in terms of sales volume based on what I've heard.   Jack

Quote:   For those in the US looking for a FiiO E17, I've updated the US availability thread under the FiiO sub forum here:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/591410/us-availability-for-fiio-e17/135#post_8472141   Jack

Guys,   The new shipment of E17 has arrived. So for those looking to get one for the normal price, they are now available at Micca and on Amazon.   The E17 now available as a bundle on Amazon with the optical cable as well - search for "FiiO E17 with Optical Cable".   Enjoy!   Jack

Delete... double post.

The ES10s do use a driver that's similar to the one in the ES18, though I am not sure if it's the same one.   The difference between the ES10 and the ES18, I would describe as the following:   The ES10 is more neutral than the ES18. I believe the extension is about the same, just "more"...
