Is the short 3.5mm interconnect that comes bundled with the Q1 will be available for purchase separately?

: Hmm, reading again your review, i see you compared the amp section of the Q1 to that of the x3ii, stating that it's a bit cleare. But i was wondering, what about the DAC section? have you done any comparison in that regard?
So who has these in stock? B & H says coming soon. Two US sellers on Amazon say they have them but the
expected delivery time is suspiciously long. Anyone in NYC have these in stock?

I just ordered from Amazon and its supposed to be here on tuesday... Ill let you know who I bought from and such when I get mine
Ok, just did a quick comparison with X3ii (LO) + E12A vs Note 4 (digital/usb) + Q1 (LO) + E12A using my MSR7. E12A is relatively neutral and MSR7 is bright/detailed to pick up nuances.
The difference is not exactly night'n'day, but I do hear with X3ii/E1A a sound to be a little more transparent, slightly better layering and separation, and a touch more sparkle/airiness in treble.
Thanks. I was mistaken, it was on Ebay where they had the long delivery times. But the sellers on ebay have free delivery. On Amazon Fiio is selling them but no free delivery. If only I had Amazon Prime
Amazon offers free shipping on orders of $35 or more (Q1 qualifies) without a prime membership. I also have one order from Amazon and it's supposed to be here Thursday. To my knowledge, FiiO isn't selling anything on Amazon because mine was being sold by HIFI Audio Electronics and fulfillment by Amazon and I have yet to see FiiO sell anything directly on Amazon US.
Yep, you're right. I really need to read things more thoroughly LOL. Ordered one and got the free shipping. And it's from HiFi Audio Tronics fulfilled by Amazon. I'll give my impressions after it arrives.
