I've gotten the unit over from @djvkool yesterday evening and have just updated the firmware to the latest 2nd November build release. Overall impressions are very positive after the update and I'm looking forward to spending more time with the X7 to form a better impression

X7 review posted (http://www.head-fi.org/products/fiio-x7/reviews/14456) and it will be in transit to Yudi tomorrow.  I really don't want to say good bye to it

Whoaa, cant wait to get my hand (or ears) on them

X7 on the way to Loquah.
 
Wanting to take photos of the amp module separate from the main body, I couldn't for the life of me get one of the screws out to undock the amp module using the provided screwdriver and my own, and I tried lots of methods, and sorry guys now that screw head is stripped. It doesn't provide enough grip and is wayyyyyy overtightened in the first place. The other was unscrewed very easily in contrast.
I'm concerned about this locking mechanism if I were to get a X7 for myself and come into the same situation eventually when I want to change amp modules.

To the Kiwis on the NZ Leg - rather than detaching the amp module, feel free to just use my photos in your review if you want to. Better than risking any damage to the unit

Hi Guys,
 
I just found this thread,
Is it still possible to join the tour?
I'm in Melbourne city

 

[Brooko]

We could probably slot you in after Lachlan (Loquah).  You've read the rules and happy to provide a full review?

Added emptymt (Michael) to the Aussie tour - after Lachlan.

Just a reminder lads - reviews in the X7 product page, and please advise me here when posted.  I'd prefer not to have to chase them.

May have missed it in the threads, but do you know if it will work with inline cable controls (the Sony ZX2 doesn't). ?
 
I have a remote cable for my SE846's with +/- volume & the centre play/pause/next/previous button which works great on Samsung Smartphones. Ideally after a DAP that responds to these buttons (even if it needs a separate app).

 

[Brooko]

Unfortunately I don't have it to check at the moment - but hopefully one of our guys on the tour might be able to answer.

 

[Loquah]

Hi all, just typing up a review and will hopefully be ready to ship the X7 tomorrow or Saturday morning.

 

[emptymt]

I've just checked my mailbox today after work just to find that the x7 is here!!
Impressions coming soon. ^_^
