I'm certain is physical sadly. You can feel it almost grab in certain spots. I was thinking of using a touch of isopropyl but I'm hesitant.

Yup that's what I want to know

I'm starting to have issues with my scroll wheel. It seems to stick in certain spots. I've never had an issue until recently. Running 1.6 firmware although I think the issue is physical. Is there a safe way to clean under the wheel maybe?

Well I've been using your settings for a few days with my IM-70's and I'm actually really liking the sound. For lack of a better word, everything seems more present, rather than bassy. I'm enjoying the settings but whether I stay with using EQ only time will tell. I've always tried to avoid...

I'm using the IM-70's but I've avoided using EQ, since I enjoy the sound. I'll try your EQ settings and report back later.

yeah you're on a factory firmware. it's the same as 1.1 apparently, that's what I was told when I asked the same question anyway. Enjoy the X1!

Is there a guide per say on how to make your own theme? I'm a designer and am interested in customizing my X1. I'm assuming it'll be XML or something similar 

Try a tiny bit of super glue on a sewing needle, press it into the lead and let it dry. When dry, pull it out. A similar trick is used to remove broken headphone jacks from sockets.

Well now I'm confused lol. Do I update or not?

I just ordered a few days ago and mine arrived on 1.2 firmware

Does anyone screen lag when changing tracks? Often when I skip it still shows the art and info of the previous tracks for a solid five seconds.
