Great case!  We finally see the actual appearance of what I saw you were using last year!  Haha!
 
Any news on the FW update?  I'm guessing it won't be released before Chinese New Year.  = (

The case looks great @Andykong, and I LOVE the details of red stitching!!!  Looking forward to meet you in person at CJ NYC and I will definitely have a write up for this case and i5, soon

Am I the only person that is going to write a review that hasn't been part of a tour or given an i5 to write a review? Just curious because I bought my unit outright and I have only seen reviews on this unit from tour units or gifts.

I bought mine. Just not had a chance to write anything about as I have been trying to find an IEM that I really like to go with it.

I think it is almost unanimously agreed that the i5 is an exceptional sounding DAP as as a piece of hardware excellent. 
 
What would the top 3 tweaks users would want that could be implemented through a firmware update?

Seriously I know the status about that word and am just kidding :P
 
I guess top of the list for most people would be the stuttering from streaming hi res I suppose.

The only point I was trying to make is most of the hardware I see on here has a mix of review units vs. purchased. I looked at all of the reviews on this site and none of us folks that purchased the unit have written a review yet.

It was a good point. I had noticed this too. You would like to think that sales equals support I guess.

It's all yours bud, make the mark, be the first paid user with i5 review!  You did a good job with U12 review, so I'm sure i5 review will be equally good

Please man don't take me wrong. I didn't mean any thing by my statement. It is a nice piece of equipment and I am not seeing people that have purchased the unit coming out to contribute much to the thread. Is the unit selling well or is it just not real popular with our HeadFi crowd?

I've actually been wanting to write a review, was supposed to after FW2.0 came out with its USB DAC function, but well... Shortly thereafter, bad thing happened and now I don't have my CIEM anymore. Probably gonna order another one soon.

Also is there no more FW update?
