Correct sorry about that.

I spoke with them the other week and they said turn around time for reshell is 3-4 weeks, if you sent it in in June then that' 4 months....either some info is missing or they are lying.

Hate you...just sayin

LOL "an angry snake in our pants".....................thats what she said.

As soon as someone starts throwing up graphs and charts I completely ignore what they have to say, because at the end of the day you could have a chart saying "its going to sound awesome because its hitting this level", but then when my ears hear it, it could be complete crap.

I have no problem when something is handmade, its always worth the price in my book instead of mass production

Sure

I guess I get tired of people staring their opinion on the HD800S without pairing with a sufficient amp/DAC to drive it. And this part is my opinion but I think when people do the right setup, there will be that “holy crap” moment.

I will also add in here, the Bryston is a beast and is a solid pair, along with RS-71b as well. I didn’t get the Sennheiser amp because like he mentioned above, I’ve heard bad things about that amp with the HD800S or 800

That’s your opinion and I don’t know what you are listening to, because the HD800S plugged into the 1Z is a terrible experience. I even had people at the local audio shop listen with and without the amp and there’s a big difference. But apparently you hear magical things that myself and 5 others...

I put some posts up here in this thread. I can’t stand using the HD800S in balanced. The 1Z isn’t powerful enough to drive these cans. You need an external amp connected, then it’s like OMG! If someone says they sound great without, they obviously have not heard them to their full extent.

It’s crap like this that legitimately pisses me off.

That would be me!!!! http://dignisdesign.com/ Of course the damn thing sold out, fricken bull.

To keep the ball rolling.... I opened up my 1Z and pulled out a snake, solved the hissing sound.

Isn’t the UK version the capped version?

Tried that and it’s worse. I have very very tiny ears and a curved ear canal.

Bought it off a guy here on headfi. Going nuts though none of the comply earbuds stay in my ears and then the spongy ones slip out after 10 minutes and I am about to punch someone. I know to get these custom but in the mean time it’s like What where do you get earbuds that seal and stay in your ears

Just got my Zeus-X-RAY and PW Audio 1960 2 wire with a balanced adapter.....these things are impressive on the 1Z

Customs strikes again.................

This might be a complete pessimistic way of looking at things but I always ask myself "does it benefit me or do any good?" If the answer is yes, there's about a 99.9% chance its not going to happen, but if I don't need/want it, theres a 99% chance it will be available.

I don’t like the fact that it has USB-DAC functionality.....because why would a better version of this player need it right??? :-(

Us older folk have better taste than the younger generation and pay attention to detail quite bit more but that’s just my opinion.

It’s not a true 1Z unless it hisses.

I see what you did there sir, its hisstarical.
