Yes what happened to Fiio and balanced cables included.. Infinity sound?!

Now there are more and more different kinds of balanced connector, so if we put both 2.5/4.4 balanced cable inside the box, the cost will be too high, and if your devices only supports one of the 2.5/4.4, you will waste money for a useless cable. and now the cable is far more expensive than the cable comes with FH1/F9/F9PRO.

They really do look amazing, but I'm glad to hear we're not alone in thinking they'd look even better in black w/ Gold trim! @FiiO

In fact, the color was decide by our user through vote.

Measured again tonight - mainly because I wanted to check previous measurement and also because I wanted to try HBB's grill off mod.

First - tonight measurement shows essentially the same graph - just the bass slightly different. This is likely because one of my crystal foam tips ruptured, so i had to replace with brand new one. Could be that the seal is slightly tighter. Mid bass now has slight peak. This is not burn-in (its the rig). I measured on linux and on Windows - both showing the same thing.

So here's the new channel and freq response with the slight change.

And here's the difference between mesh on and mesh off (yup - there isn't any real measurable difference). Now I only measured freq response - no square wave or IMD or anything else - so i'm not saying Chris is wrong. There was a very slight volume change when I put it on the dB meter (mesh off about 0.2dB louder), so that could be it. Anyway - subjectively I heard no difference. My advise - try it if you wnat to - but I'm leaving mine on - don't want any wax or debris down those tubes :wink:

@FiiO so whats the official colors? And are you considering our proposal of black with gold edge?

Sorry only titanium color right now, about other color, we will decide it in the future, but it is very difficult to manage the stock.

I disagree, give us a balanced 2.5mm cable and just a 3.5mm connector, those who need a 4.4mm connector can just purchase one on their own, given the fact that initially most of your DAPs supports 2.5mm connection anyway. Just my honest feedback is all, I love Fiio as a company and would very much like you guys to succeed.
