willsw, i've always loved the original MicroZolt - ever since i heard one (a red version) more than 10 years ago. We lovingly called it the toaster ;-). I've pulled the trigger on the Massdrop version MZ 2S. One question about the power supply - i live in Singapore 230 volts  50hz. Shouldn't be...

Okay, I'm not computer savvy. But i do wish to get the best sound out of my Mid 2010 iMac 27 inch with Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5759 with 1024MB ram.   Intend to hook up to my IMac: Option 1: via optical cable to TC Electronic BMC-2 then to a pair of Genelec 8010 Option 2: via 1/8inch...

Is there anyway to go back to firmware 2.1 for the X3?

Mediafire is the link from fiio's website. So I don't understand why I was getting the issues. Now i do - if you connect your X# to your computer (mac) it won't download. You'll need to remove the MicroSD card put it into an adapter then it works fine otherwise you keep getting repeatedly a...

Don't know if I'm posting in the right place but I can't seem to download Fiio X3 3.0 firmware. Am using Mac (Mavericks) with Safari overtime I go to mediafire website to download i type in the correct capture but it doesn't  work - do I need to become a member of media fire before I get to...

I said in half jest. But dealers in sg sell at a reasonably marked up price from what you see advertised at schiit. About US$90 for the lower end units. So hopefully if you buy to units you might get the mark up reduced at bit - hopefully. Nobody likes to pay more in life but such is life and...

I gave the Valhalla a listen this evening and it's looking good. I just need to bring my transport to the dealer to listen to the bifrost and Valhalla sometime next week. Might end up buying both. Hope they can give me a nicer price. Kekeke hope runs eternal right. Frankly even at the sg prices...

As far as distributors are concerned they usually need a 40 to 50% margin to make a living. They need this because they have to take care of warranty issues, rent and labour. It's quite different buying from a manufacturer direct and buying from a distributor through its dealers. Each dealer has...

That is reassuring news indeed Jason. Thanks.

So does this mean it won't damage the headphones over time? Could someone confirm or refute this? Please. I mean there are a lot of tech minded people here like tangent, morsel etc I mean the guys who designed the PPA should be able to confirm or refute this. Is Kurt W still active here. Sorry...

Is this true? Why wouldn't they do that? I had thought they has implemented this even before the 2nd version of Asgard was released and offered to fix the problem on older units of Asgard. Well let's just wait and see if they respond before pulling the trigger. Damn ...I'm gonna wait a couple of...

Depends on your headphone...

How can the amp be awful based on what you said? How can the amp be awful based on what you've just said. Be reasonable, you plugged in a wrong dc power cord for crying out loud.

What improvements are there sonically over the V1 Valhalla? Also would it help if you unplugged the headphones before switching the amp off? Specifically for the Valhalla.

There's also a late version of Grado RS1i with red drivers (as seen from the metal grill) and which comes with a thicker cable with 1/8 inch jack in a much larger housing. Just pre Grado RS1e - I suspect these are actually Grado RS1e in RS-1 paper box.
