after waiting approx 4 months already for this amp...
 
 

I know its painful as I sold a lot of portable gear thinking this amp was going to be released earlier than this. I bought an iBasso DX100 in the second batch (mid Feb) which is sold out already and hopefully that will be sent next week from iBasso land. Will be looking forward to comparing the CLAS/RX3 v DX100 at some stage

Wow.  The DX100 is also almost onto my must have list.  I have never found any other DAP that is as easy to use as an ipod/idevice since I am a Mac user but the DX100 with its support of ALAC looks to be a goer.
 
I hope that you will be able to bring it along to the Perth Headfi meet and of course that you will be able to make it there in the first instance.
 
It will be great to put CLAS/RX3 versus DX100.

Hey guys, anyone who is from Melb and regularly goes into the CBD, be sure to go to level 2 in Melb Central where the foodcourts are and be sure to check out Volume, you can bring your own audio gear, (I brought my GSV + Zune) today and trialed few of the headphones there, really nifty stuff.

Thanks for the tip. I just tried it and quite enjoyed those new Marley headphones.
 
The best phone they have there is probably the M-50 or similar level. Plenty of IEMs there too.

No chance the M50, the AKG K242 II, Shure SRH840/940 sounded alot better than the M50's. uhmm there were no IEM's there?

Under the counter and in the cabinets.

Just a reminder guys, the Perth meet is happening in May and we might be able to get Headphonics to host it. We are doing a name count right now. See my signature for a link.

I saw the ones in the cabinet's and the see through glass display section, but I didn't think you could actually ask the two well... attractive rep girls to try the earbud's from under the counter.
 
I lol'd when I saw the price underneath the "Audiophile" section of the HD600, HD650, IE8, IE80 and the HD800 priced at $560, $770, $495 and $1999 respectively, shows how much of a bargain I got my IE8, HD600 and HD800's for at $150, $170 and $890 (while I'am the second owner for the HD800, others were new).

More just mark up for prices in Aus

On an unrelated note, the new Hilltop Hoods almbum came out today 

top notch aussie hip-hop. Even went gold on its first day.

For my headphones, I've never purchased any in Aus. For the one reason its because the aussie prices are simply marked up too high and overpriced. I get most my stuff from other buyers from forums or ebay if there is a good deal to snag up on.

 

[xzobinx]

I have a bad habit of breaking gears so it's safer for me to buy at local shop but with the Aussie prices like this I guess just go with international dealer then  
wish every headphones build like m80 or hd 25 and I can go with whatever sound I want :-<

Headphonic is reasonable priced for cans above the $100 mark. But KSC75's for $50? A bit to pricey for me, I ended up snagging a pair for $30 including shipping for my mums birthday the other day.

sometimes australian shops put a markup of 2x on the street price on fleabay... so you can just buy off fleabay and break them. twice.
