Yep, same issue with the detachable VSD3 version.  At least the W1 Pro is quite cheap if something goes wrong.  I know the cable replacement on the VSD3 was expensive enough that if mine ever finally dies, I'm just getting the attached cable version.  Still absolutely love it's sound sig, very very close to ideal for me.
 
Also, with how wonderful the Chinese IEM market has become, I'd really love it if a small Dap came out that was the size of something like a Sansa Clip, xDuoo X2, Fiio M3 or the like but could compete at a very high level.  Line out would be nice too.

the shop i got it from said S3 is an improvement from S1 and S5 is an improvement from S3.. no details though.. he said if i liked S1 i will like S5 as it will be an overall upgrade.. no details though as he doesnt got a demo set yet..

looking at how S1 is dark and warm, i think itll be the same signature, maybe refined and more precise perhaps for S5...

but the built is really good.. minus the smartphone stock earphone ish cable.

 
Talked a bit to a seller - don't think they had a much better idea about the difference.
Curiosity and a good price still got me though, so an S5 is on the way : )

Kvad, if I'm not imposing how much were the S5 model?

  Hmmm... things are getting really interesting. These EE846 are on same price league as DQSM D2 and I wonder how those two stand up to TK13 which is noticeably cheaper.

This is something I am also interested in. Hope to hear some feedback soon. Was going to order the TK13 but might have to wait to hear impressions of the other two.​

If you have Amazon Prime it's a no Brainer to go for the Letv Reverse. They are $10 and you won't have to wait China shipping times. They are light, good isolation, have good details, warm sig with a wide sound stage and good details (they actually produce subtles sounds in music quite well)

HCK has an earphone called WRZ X6 ...Zircon. Is this really related to the Rock Zircon?

Looks like it may be wording to pop up in Zircon searches

Anyone settle with these?
DIY EE846 (DD+3BA)
Look what I found on AliExpress
http://s.aliexpress.com/i2U3Uj2y

 
 

BTW I will try it out soon, for hybrid EE846 (DD+3BAs) just notice they don't have bundle with cable as well, need buy extra cable together

 
 

I contacted Easy about the 5ba EE846 and asked him which iems would he recommend. I asked about the TK13, Easy T3 (2 BA 1DD) and EE846. According to him the 846 would be better than the 2 mentioned.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on them

although the fact that there is no cable included kind of sucks

 
 

Today I just discuss with Easy AE seller, regarding to EE846 5bas version, will wait him feedback from impression

 
I just placed an order for the EE846 3BA 1DD today with Easy. Should be arriving in the next week or so and I'll leave my impressions here. 
 
I actually asked him about whether I should get the 5BA version, but this one seems to have a lot more orders and feedback on AliExpress so I can be more assured of the quality.

Thanks your feedback, I will look forward your impression..

I'm just curious on whether anyone has tried Easy's 6BA build. I was originally going to get that but settled for the EE846 (3BA+1DD). If I like the EE846 I'll probably try the 6BA build. Has anyone tried these yet? The impressions on AliExpress seem positive.

Yes, has someone head-fi member bought it before, needs to find out the previous post, seem like very superb SQ and made.

The AGPtEK a12 looks identical to the clip+ and sounds pretty good too, I'm working up a review of it now.

About HLSX808 bass resolution and tightness... I changed opamps on my DX5X (yes, now I call it so) yesterday and 808 RAW-mod sounds now amazing with it: http://www.head-fi.org/t/720776/ibasso-dx50-mods/285#post_12652071
 
Bass is now what it should have been - controlled, tight and better resolution. Mids are improved to my preference level and overall soundstage, resolution, layering and balance is just pretty much "perfect"! Acoustic guitars, contrabass and female vocals are now silky and full/natural sounding with every tiny breath and emotion coming out. Also thumpy, slurry, textured bass is nicely present with progressive rock and djent etc. similar styles. I`m using piston 2.1 brownie tips btw.
 
With this modified setup I`ve clearly stepped over my modified Aune T1 desktop setup (half-modified DX50 was "on par" before). I`m now thinking about selling my Aune T1 and all the tubes but it`s hard to let go all of those great rare tubes, SQ and different sound signatures. 
 
I don`t know if 808 owners have tried different amps or source gear but I recommend to try different options before giving up on 808. It`s all about gear SQ & synergy!

My pair was supposed to arrive yesterday but it didn't so most likely I'll get them today.
