U10 and 12? Do you mean the ambient series? Or do you mean universal versions of the a10 and a12?
Sorry...I meant the universal versions of the 12 and 10.

My ifi Micro iDSD arrived yesterday afternoon. I don't believe in huge burn-ins but I left it randomly playing my music library overnight. It says to charge it for 24hr before use but I figured it would charge while connected to a powered USB connection--sure hope so. I'll let you know what I think of the pairing, right out of the box it sounded quite good but then everything sounds good on the A12.
If you were one of the last to back Kickstarter on the A12 that means that they have cleared out their backlog of A12 Kickstarter orders which will make others here very happy. It also means there are a lot of happy A12 owners out there too. You will soon know why I say that.
Enjoy!
I won't make this a long review. At first I thought it was pretty similar to the FiiO X5 but after listening more carefully it just sounds better. I hate audiophile terms. Let's just say the music is better and I hear a little more detail. So far I like it better by a tad than than the FiiO but would have no problem crying the FiiO around on a trip since it's an all in one.
I emailed 1964. After they finish all their kickstarter obligations, they will provide a program to upgrade the v series to the a series. Can't wait to upgrade my v6s to A6s, especially with the differences everyone is posting! It would be nice if someone could give Impressions of the difference in ADEL and non ADEL earphones from 1964.
@ericr Thanks for that review. Would you be able give us a quick compare to the V6S? (it will make a nice reference point for those of us who backed the U6, I think!)
Great info and makes me very excited. Maybe one way of checking on the ADEL module is to try it fully closed and then at the setting that you prefer. That might give you an indication of how much difference is due to ADEL, because if it is fully closed doesn't it mean it is pretty much acting like a normal iem?
Does you get the ear pounding sensation when the module is fully closed?
