Nice pics!     Are there any equivalent cables for Micro USB devices i.e. Micro USB type B to Full-size regular USB type B?   I know there are some DIY projects on Head-Fi, but I don't have the tools, nor the know-how to make something solid.

I've had mine for a week now and although the speaker is a travesty that shouldn't have make it past QA in modern consumer electronics,(It's actually physically uncomfortable to listen to in certain spots) the headphone out is quite excellent sounding. It will not drive power hungry headphones...

Fedex arrived at my door yesterday with my Hifi-M8 so I've been running around like a crazy person plugging it into as many sources as possible to see the results. So far my lofty expectations have been more than met. I will probably be looking for a replacement power brick as well though. That...

I got a shipment update and tracker ID last night. I preordered in December. I'll be in a cabin in the middle of nowhere all weekend so  I won't be able to pick it up, but still, excitement!

My main pairing will be with my PC and Android phone with occasional iPad use. I changed my preorder to a toslink LX unit when the iOS7 details emerged. Can you live without iOS support in most cases then go for the LX, if losing iOS functionality down the line is a dealbreaker I wouldn't risk...

  Do you know which Note 3 you have? Is it the N9005, N9002, N9000?

Should have mine in a couple of days. Hopefully It'll gel with the Centrance Hifi-M8. Now to find a good cable for that...

I got confirmation my preorder was changed to a LX unit. iOS wasn't going to be my main usage for the Hifi-M8 anyway, but no iOS support would be a bummer. Now I can have my cake and eat it too :P

Got a response. Phew.   Also.   "We are preparing to send this unit shortly"  

Doesn't sound promising. I hope they haven't gone back to pennypinching on audio parts again.

Thanks, but that's what I did. Guess I just have to wait.

Anyone know the best way to get in contact with the people in charge of orders? I tried replying to the payment received mail regarding some changes, but I have not gotten a response. I have a feeling my Hifi-M8 is getting ready to be shipped so I may be in a hurry. I felt a disturbance in the...

  Preordered in December and told them last week I wanted to change it to a LX unit and I haven't got an answer. Should I be worried?

Yep, Apple could kill it off with an update, and they have done similar before. It's why I never update official firmware unless my jailbreak is 100% safe. It's why I'm still on 6.00 :D

Yup. I'm really torn whether I should change my preorder to the LX version now. Has anyone confirmed the Hifi-M8 works 24/96+ through the regular USB input with iOS7 devices? I have a 4th gen iPad that I would like to use with the Hifi-M8, but I would also love to "future proof" it in case I get...

This is potentially a big deal. I'm in the same situation as bmichels in that I have a Centrance Hifi-M8 preordered. Is this verified? I have an iPad 4th gen I would like to use every now and then.

Sleeping Dogs is so underrated. GTA V is really good so far as well. They make a lot of smart choices and the heist missions are fantastic. They're basically what I hoped Payday would be. I wouldn't say it's revolutionary as it's definitely a full on sequel, but I can see myself spending way too...

I had BTG do the "earring" mod with mini XLRs to mine as well. Makes the Y-split on the stock cable annoyingly low, but I mostly use it with a balanced cable anyway. Now I'm looking for a super short cable for my on-can DAP experiment.

Aha. I'm new to this. I just figured as long as the receiver could accept LCPM it would "translate" it to the 5.8 mixamp through the optical output. You're saying this is not the case and I would either get silence or regular stereo and it's impossible to get WiiU surround through the wireless...

So I'm getting a WiiU for Windwaker HD(sad?) and I've been reading about their cheapskate license fees are for suckers ass-backwards audio solution. Seems the only way to get surround sound from the Wii U to the Astro 5.8 is run it through a receiver with HDMI inputs and connect the Astro 5.8 it...

  No, but it would be nice for it to not sound awful when you're not connected. The Hifi-M8 is not exactly pocket friendly :)

  Awesome! Thanks a lot. Definitely on board now. I just hope it doesn't have a inferior onboard chip compared the Wolfson the Note 2 had. If I can use the Note 3 with the Centrance Hifi-M8 I'll live with it though.   Very Excite!

Dropped them on the ground and chipped off a small piece of the lacquer. I could feel its pain.

Oh man. If the regular USB B port with CCK gives the same result as the dedicated iDevice port to Lightning devices I may have to revise my preorder...   If it requires a powered hub, then maybe not.

Preordered Dec 21st so I can wait two more months.
