Many like little dot with Grado. Never heard it self.
But it is almost always more reasonable shopping «home»
So give it a try :wink: and save some money.

1000 is sometimes abbreviated to "k" in mandarin, so pske would mean ps1000e, and gs3k is gs3000...etc.
( guess it may have originated from the word kilo)
Maybe the ifi zen dac will suit your needs, although your budget seems much higher.

Are we expecting the x update for GS anytime soon?

The GS2000e and GS3000e were introduced much later in the e-series lifespan so it's only natural that they get refreshed later, if at all. The GS3000e is just over 3 years old.

Having been an owner of the GS2000e, I feel that model was a big mistake with its overly piercing tuning: it has the most prominent 6k peak, but also with the weakest bass of the GS models. It's also now unnecessary because the GS3000e came out 2 years after it. They might discontinue it just like the PS1000e. As for the GS3000e, cocobolo turning blanks that size aren't cheap at all. I could see them going in another direction if it's too difficult to source that much cocobolo again, especially now that they need it for the RS1x and their ultra-premium cartridges. The RS1x has a tiny amount of cocobolo, the least of the 3 woods.

One wood I'd like to see them try in their regular lines is oak. They've done oak before but only in ultra-rare limited-edition models like the Bushmills, the Black Label BL1/BL2, and the Oreo. The only issue is that oak tends to crack over time if it's too dry for too long.

Grado is much more expensive here. Rs1i is about 1100 dollers here. And little dot is much cheaper, something like 150 dollers.
so first time i was suggested little dot, I acted like this.
you know, it makes me feeling guilty for rs1i........:sweat_smile:
1215usd for me incl tax(rs1x)
