Received my Supermoon this morning. Ordered on April 25th (and sent 3D scanned ear impressions on the same day), shipped on 29th, and arrived in Japan on May 2nd. I was expecting a lead time of 2 months, but it only took a week lol. The 3D scanned ear impressions must have helped the procedure...

Sold out in merely a second LOL Had one in my cart, but didn't make it:sob: I got Onyx instead

Is Mason Fusang UIEM to CIEM possible through reshell service? Can't afford it, but want to confirm:cry:

Congratulations to Ken and Campfire Audio! As an owner of original Vega and Dorado, I'm certainly excited to try out the 2020 successors:). Will sit and wait until they're available in Japan... Love the ceramic housing btw!

Not yet:sweat_smile: I guess I have to find out by myself when it’s available for auditioning:)

Congratulations! @KB I currently own Andromeda SE Gold and can see that it is very similar to your newly announced Ara. Would definitely try on once it is available in Japan, but can you tell me the differences between the two earphones? Thank you!

Hello guys, ZX500 was officially announced in Japan. I’ve visited Sony Japan website and confirmed that ZX500 will down convert hires music played outside of Walkman Music App. Here’s the link (Japanese): https://www.sony.jp/walkman/products/NW-ZX500_series/feature_2.html Hope this helps.

All it says about the down sampling is when streaming so I can’t tell if third party apps playing local files are an exception. It is kind of weird when the article mentions about the new WALKMAN being able to use Hires streaming services (Tidal & Qobuz, etc.), but it actually down samples to...

If my understanding is correct, it is the SRC that down converts music played outside the app. The article says that ZX500 down samples music when playing through streaming service due to SoC’s restrictions. Regarding the fact that the author interviewed a staff in charge of WALKMAN...

Hi guys, I’ve been reading through articles about ZX500 and found rather disappointing feature, claiming that “new Android based Walkmans will down-convert music when playing on streaming services”. The link to the interview (Japanese) is below...

Thanks for the info gLer. So Q5s will be the last product to have amp modules...kinda sad.

Hi @FiiO and @JamesFiiO Will your future flagship DAP, let's say the successor of X7/X7 Mark 2, come with switchable modules? I currently own AM3D and would be happy if I can use AM3D for future models.

Hi kms108, I'm living in Japan. All I can say is that Sony made no announcement regarding the release of IER-Z1R and DMP-Z1. We're waiting for Sony's press release.

:):) Wasn’t aware of iFi Audio supporting 4.4mm! Thanks for the info:)

Thanks for reminding me of Sennheiser! Almost forgot the fact that I want to get their HDV820. I would have bought A&futura SE100 only if it had 4.4mm...
