For those in the US interested in a deal for the Calyx M. I found that Sonic Electronix allows you to name your own price. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_96520_Calyx-M-M1.html  I was able to put in $800 and they accepted the price. Currently it's out of stock, but you can place the order. I'm not sure when they will get another batch. If you are not in a rush, I think it's a great deal for a brand new M from an authorized dealer. Unfortunately I have to pay California tax.

Calyx M marketing failed to do justice to a great dap, very saddening.

I might take the plunge at $800. It just sounds too good. Anyone has experience with 3rd party insurance like Squaretrade. I wonder if they will cover battery failure. That's my main concern given it's nonremovable.

  No problem, anytime. I friend of mine locally also has a calyx m. So once I get the windowsX FW him and I can meet and I will post an impression afterward. I know soundwise 1.01 has really got the sound the way I like it, a good complement to LPG.

Hey, I just read about the WindowsX firmware and very much looking forward to your impressions/comparison before/after FW update. Cheers!

Guys at the moment I have postponed my FW purchase, hopefully someone else is able to test this before me.

Out of all the daps I tried and owned/own I will say calyx M is my favourite sounding of them all. It is a real close battle between this and LPG and a very short brief period the AK380 but hands down calyx m does it for me. 

If I did not max out my Credit Card the windowsX FW would be paid for by now, there is always next month.

Question regarding random playback: is there an easy way to get random playback of all music on the player?

Worked perfectly with "select all" when creating the playlist - thanks!

Go to jukebox and select all.

I am very excited to hear about the alternative firmware! I would be very happy to see the following issues solved:
 
- playback stops because of "damaged file". If the song is selected again, playback works fine. Happens more often with large files, i.e., high bitrates
- slight "pop" between songs
- when playback stops there is a loud crackling sound after a few seconds. It would be great if that could be removed (volume to zero when player stops)
- the clock is horribly inaccurate
 
How much is the fw and is it possible to go back to the original fw?

I asked Windows X, for the price i think it would be better for him to answer your question. but yes he said you can revert back to the original FW.

so i will be getting the fw upgrade from windowsx soon, can compare against audionewbi when i meet him

PM sent. I think I'll update Calyx M again to make sure it has recent changes from iBasso firmware.
