Headphoneus Supremus
Just in case I'm not the only X7 classical fan, Classics HD has informed me that they don't presently support the X7, shame since it's the only 24/192 Streaming Service I'm aware of, at least in the States.
Hi, how do you get rid of the "bubblegum" music that plays when you turn your unit on? It's quite annoying!
...
As for comparing the single-ended to balanced on AM3, I go more in-depth in my AM3 review. But in short - (at least for full-sized headphones, not sure about IEMs since I don't have balanced IEMs) you get much better separation (and thus layering and imaging), slightly larger soundstage, and better bass and treble with balanced as opposed to single-ended.
Please kindly give us one or two months, we will try our best to release the new one soon.

I know that Brooko's reviews have already been cited here, but I also have reviews of all amp modules and compared them against each other: http://www.head-fi.org/users/398973/reviews
(Look at the AM2, AM3, and AM5 reviews.)

so today i connected the fiio x7 to the e18 to be used as an amp, honestly i found it so much better sounding than any amp module with my iems, everything sounds full bodied and bigger sound stage while with the amp module I get sometimes that things sound brittle and thin, i am not complaining about loudness but i simple do not get full bodied sound from any amp modules compared to portable amps
i guess logically how can a small amp module give a better sound than a dedicated amp like fiio e12 or other portable amps
it seems I will order the fiio e12 to enjoy that combo with fiio x7 and the extra bass boost, as it seems that fiio ix not gonna release a bass boost amp anyway

I feel the same way with the headstage Arrow 5tx, which i fully recommend!
