Hi there,
I live in Guangzhou, not far from where Fiio are based, so my order from a local Taobao store was very quick. I'll post photos first and then comment on more when I've had a play with it. My new 64gb Kingston class 10 microsd hasn't arrived yet, so I put in an old 2gb card and formatted it via the X1 system menu, then copied files across to it with the USB cable. First impressions are good. It came nicely packaged in a silicon sleeve, with a screen protector applied and two spares. It also has three sets of transfers with the US flag, a wooden pattern, and a black carbon fibre look. Apart from that, there was a USB cable, warranty note, and quick start guide.The box had a verification code that I just checked on the fiio website. That'll be useful once fakes appear. The microsd I'm using is on old (definitely not class 10) one, and updating the library with the fifteen tracks I added (flac and mp3) took no more than 2-3 seconds, so I consider that a positive sign that other people's library issues may not be repeated.
As for sound, I left my havi b3 pro at work today when I came home for lunch. I didn't think I'd have it already. With my JVC HA500S and Xiaomi pistons it sounds good. I'm new to the audiophile world, so I don't want to mimic people's reviews and give a false impression that I know what I'm talking about. I'll just say that it's noticeably better than my Xiaomi 2s phone and the ELE DAC I use with my laptop, and leave it there for now.
