Can someone that owns the 600i help me understand how to switch between the rear XLR outputs and the headphones? The 400i unit has a function button to switch between these outputs. Some units, like the Schitt Jotunheim, don't have switchable outputs and you have to physically unplug the cables...

  Wow that is awesome on so many levels. Congrats to you and props to the ebayer.

It's the debate in one person trying to tell another person that a particular headphone is "bright" or "lacks bass" where another says it doesn't and one tries to convince the other they're wrong. Your friend likes Beats, then he likes Beats. Just don't try and convince him not to like the way...

Everyone's ears are different. Everyone hears things differently. Just buy what sounds good to you. The endless debate of something sounding too sparkly or not enough mid blah blah blah is exhausting and who cares what some computer says the sound wave is. It's all about how your ear interprets it.

  My favorite band in the whole world. I own almost every single vinyl framed in my garage. While I prefer the Bon Scott era more, I am envious you bump into this man. Also envious of your headphones and beard.   Ride on...

  Need to get this into the hands of an English speaker that has had some time with it, to build up hype and suspense for US release.

It is odd and I'm well aware of the plan to release to China. I've read the thread and initial post. I just find it strange to use the term recall so close to an announced availability to the US. The time frame just doesn't seem realistic.

  Yeah we all do want it and most of us will likely wait for it. I likely will as I can do just fine with what I have. I just have an issue with the FiiO rep saying it will be here by Christmas when in reality, considering that is 3 months away, it just won't happen. His last comment about...

  It's not gonna happen. I'll bet you a $50 gift certificate to your local restaurant of choice. They're just stringing us so we don't drop a bunch of cash on another product, then when Christmas comes around the ETA will be spring.

    Eesh. So there's no way this is coming to the U.S. by December. Why make such claims?

  Ogg Vorbis, not MP3  

Spotify is good for discovering music and personally I find their Premium Ogg 320 to be pretty good for even everyday listening. Granted you don't buy such a device to stream Spotify but it's a great option to have to find new music and discover old music. Then of course make the decision to...

  How did you get your ether?

  A more appropriate analogy is buying a Ford F150. You have a choice. The XL, the XLT, The Lariat and the Platinum. X1, X3, X5 X7. You can also choose a 2 door, 4 door, 5 1/2 foot bed and a 6 1/2 foot bed. FiiO makes a whole line that goes from very little features to full blown. At the high...

Anyone know how much other modules going to cost? I never use IEMs. Would kind suck to have to shell out another 100 for a module over one I'll never use. They should allow a "config" option.

  This and the X7 and I'll be one happy camper

ok cool. I guess balanced is the only way to go.

I just threw on a set of HE500s over the 1/4 and was sorta disappointed. I had to flip to high gain and max the volume and even then I could have gone a little more. Sources were all full. I then tried the same setup on my MM stack and it worked really well. I guess I'll have to get an XLR...

Anyone sitting on a 100 count disc player that had the 4 big sleeves? When the 5 disc carousel came out I thought it was Gods gift and I'm an atheist.

Well I just put an order in for the closed ethers. Mr speakers is doing incredible things and watching his videos he seems to have a lot of fun doing it.

Hmm. I just ordered the Primes and now I'm in a serious pickle as these are beautiful. Both are beautiful.
