it seems like every developer forgets about us windows phone users

That's a real shame.  For both of you.

My new Fulla is working great on windows desktop and laptop so far.  Sounds just as good as the first one, no clipping like kalryhk has...

Can anyone compare this to the FiiO E12A?

  I read that the Fulla includes a short USB cable, and I was planning to connect it to my desktop. Will a USB extension cable work, any recommendations for something solid and cheap?


I think that they recommend using a USB cable that is no longer than 2 feet long.  You can probably safely extend this by using a powered USB hub or their Wyrd product between your computer and the Fulla (i.e., long USB cable from computer to hub/Wyrd, then short cabe from hub/Wyrd to Fulla).

Not really a fair comparison:
 
Fulla is a dac/amp, and the e12a is strictly an amp.
Fulla is usb powered, e12a is battery powered

Can anyone comment on whether the volume knob is really as bad as the guy in the Z Review video makes it out to be?
 
Also, are the edges of the metal casing really as sharp as he says?
 
Thanks!

It's actually 2m or less according to the Fulla FAQ.

I'd like some of whatever that guy was smoking/injecting/putting up his nose.  The volume control is fine, ergonomically.  Some have reported issues with the volume control having too narrow a range; I respectfully disagree.

If you respectably disagreed then you wouldn't have written that first sentence. I watched the full video and it was obvious that Schiit cut corners on build quality (and packaging as well) to lower the price; in fact they are honest about it. In the video he clearly had trouble moving the volume knob as it was too small and too shallow to turn easily using your fingers. Unless you have kid-sized hands and fingers, that observation remains true. Additionally, the edges of the Fulla are quite sharp/unergonomic. I would have preferred that Schiit released the Fulla at $99 and not skimped on design and build quality. Until someone else puts out their video review showing what the Fulla is like, his is the only word (and example) that we have of the Schiit Fulla in real life usage.

No problem here with the volume knob. It could have been knurled. But it moves just fine nice and smooth. Not difficult at all one finger or two. And I don't have "kid size" anything. :D

The edges could have been deburred better and the corners could have been rounded off...I have no worries about getting cut...but that's just me.
