I dont know how much.

Google fostex hp_p1 and go to their site. It doesnt show the price though.

It seems like a new addition.

I would put up a link but i am posting from my ipod touch.

Here you go (back at my mac, scroll down).

price still unknown.
 
Perhaps they have been listening to feedback about the original case, maybe even saw Lillees rig on head-fi.
 
Seems to be priced at around ¥3,500- ¥4,000. (Thats around US$ 35- $40).
 
Cant find a picture of the back of the case yet.
 
Google `Fostex LC_P1`  for more info.

Haha I was about to say looks almost identical to the Garmin one except better fitting.
 
OK I am charging you with the investigation Detective ExpatinJapan (since you can read Japanese and all), find out where to buy it and how to get a hold of it. I will order one at the drop of a hat if it's available.

I dont know what the back looks like though, If they have crafted openings for charging etc.
 
Its not up on amazon.co.jp yet either.
 
Maybe buy it here ?

Well done, cept I can't read Japanese and in order to buy it you have to log in (all in Japanese) 
 
I can I wait until it's available from an English website like Amazon

I'm so going to find a way to order the case. I actually found a rub off mark on one of the edges of the rough black part of my HP-P1.

4200 JPY?!?!
 
That's... more than I'm going to pay.

$50 is about how much those real leather iPad cases cost too...

The question is how thick is it, since you have to strap the ipod to it.

My HP-P1 arrived this week...I am really enjoying this new device!
 
 
 
 
I have the Toxic Cables Silver Poison LOD on order....

Welcome to the club!

I look forward to hearing your initial and later impressions.

 

[longbowbbs]

My initial impressions are very favorable. Plenty of power and good solid range throughout. I will chime in after a couple hundred hours and see how it is going .

Nice review! Funny, I am using it with the Senn HD25's and all lossless on the iPod Classic. Awesome portable combo.

Hi all, interesting thread. Just read all 45 pages haha. I'm interested in buying the hp-p1 but just had a few questions for you kind hearted fellows. If I bought the hp-p1 I'd be using them with my slightly portable ATH-M50's. Do you think I would notice a vast improvement listening with my Ipod Tough 4G? All my music is mostly 320kb mp3 files. I don't really have an opportunity to listen before I buy. I also currently have a Nuforce Icon HPD for my desktop amp/dac combo. Any idea if it would be similar or better in sound quality to this with the M50's? As I notice a fair improvement with this and they both hover around the same price range. Thanks in advance for your help
