i heard it yesterday. unbelievable. easily better than C&C Box +. the bass is great. clean, tight and lots of bass. you get even more bass when you switch on the bass buttom. soundstage is pretty good. while i'm typing, i forgot i pretty much forgot to focus on the mids and the highs(i know i'm a bass head) but my impression is the mids and highs are also better than the +. i tried at a shop in Hong Kong. i know i'm bad/can't write reviews

, actually i know this can't call it a review but some heads up. if you want more info, just ask.

Interesting! Is the C&C Box + similar to the C&C Box V2 besides the input impedance switch or whatever new one it has on the back?


The C&C Box XO looks really oddly attractive..

Also, apparently it's just to be called the "C&C XO" without the Box in the name.

fhuang: sounds exciting. where was the shop you did the listening? i might want to bring along my Xin SMIV-LE for a brief comparison.

Do you know if these will be available in the US soon? Also, at the shop, what was the price (converted to USD) of the amp? I have to agree, by the way, the XO does have a really wierd attractiveness to it. I like the glossy flask look.

it costs about $1400 at mingo's. that's about 180US

[size=x-small]:Summary of Specification[/size]:

Professional design suits all low and higher impedance headphones
High and low impedance choice plus two levels’ gain control brings more freedom to adapt your audio sources and music.
Output capacitor with no coupling provides more wider frequency response.
Customized dedicated compensation design for*various headphones and individual hearing preference make Sound reproduction quality*approximate perfect. Two compensations include: low frequency compensation and*harmony*sound stage*expansion compensation. If*compensation switches are complete off, it will be*a common high-fidelity, low/high impedance headphone amplifier.
The adoption of parallel multi-level power output control ensures low output impedance and much powerful control. The amplifier will start boost circuit under high resistance state to ensure the output no distortion under high voltage, satisfying the drive demand for both medium and high resistance headphones.
Authentic ALPS Hi-end volume potentiometer ensures the high sound quality.
Large capacity Lithium batteries with specialized customization quality and full protection, conducting adequate capacity, coherence is excellent.**
Internal design contains intelligent voltage charging circuit, full automatic Trickle Up. You can*listen to music while charging without interference or any communication made.*
1000uF*4 professional design ensures the pure and clarity of source power.
Maximum output power: 1000mW+1000mW output*.
Headset plugs impedance: 8-600 ohm Auto Match.
THD+N (total harmonics distortion plus noise) : below 0.01%
Frequency response*: 0-100kHz/1dB**
Super duration playing time: 60 hours (Under low impedance) 25 hours (Under high impedance)
Pocket size, dimensions: 71 * 20* 91mm (Strong Aluminum Casing)

whiskey 'n audio.... definately a good mic IMHO

XO, eh? Sounds more, like a fine cognac to me. But hey, you can have that in your hip flask as well

But, she's a beauty. Only thing I fear is that we'll stow them away in protective bags. A bit like iPods: they look much nicer *without* a silicon case et al, but I wouldn't dare *not* having one since that would be risking having its surface scratched, which, of course, I can't *see* with a case on anyway...

Had the same dilemma with my ATH-ES7.. but BestSkinsEver is the answer

Might be a bit hard with that shape, though..

Very nice looking amp. I wonder how it will compare with the original one.
