could you try dropping the zip on the the device and do the update that way? I didn't use the tool method.

after a quick reset and reinstall, things are working

yes, I wanted to ask before I try and do a reinstall

Anybody have the issue when using the Lurker firmware add on, when you open the google play store, the screen shows signing in, then goes black? Everything else seems to be running okay.

I just received one today, I'm impressed. It's been awhile since I've used a decent source. I'm using the HD6xx, and it sounds really great, unfortunately it also confirmed I need to get new IEMs. So I'll gladly take recommendations. I'm impressed with the build quality, two screen protectors...

Still trying to figure out if the x100 or if I should get iPod/other balanced dac/amp stack

I think that would be closer to the mark of realistically doable. I was actually thinking about that this morning, using CF cards. or a ssd drive (the ones that are already encased) I've seen a DIY mp3 player, we do DIY amps/dacs, I don't see why this couldn't be done. I would think the hardest...

Just got mine a few minutes ago, I think they may even fit correctly. More comfortable than a universal fit.
