  is that a autocorrect typo? "Another batch" ? or really " A mother batch" ... Hoping for the later a year of waiting is coming up, but hey, I'm also an infinity 2.0 backer so I'm used to waiting.... about 2 years waiting now..........

OMG. I told Robert he should ship his new customers first. If I had anything to say about it, I'd ask to have you sent one before me. NOT before anyone else. I can enjoy the old model as much as anyone, eh Drsparis?

Sorry, damn auto-correct.I meant to say a nother batch

To my defence I still have a 3G ( I am a upgrade customer) but thanks haha. It will be a while for me to make another long term investment like these

Recently I purchased zolom's 5P and stacked it up with my X5.
Wow, what a great little amp!

 
All my iems scaled up nicely, but the 1plus2 (treble & bass on I, freq on M) scaled up in such a way that I almost cound't believe my ears

I've never heard them like this (so 3D and dynamic) before and just can't stop listening to them these days...

Enjoy
 
By the way, I found it impossible to distinguish the sound quality between the 5P and the (bassy) 5TX. [rig: LG G4 with/without Viper4Android and Shure SE846 IEMs]

 

[jmills8]

The 5TX non bass hands down has a much open sound. Its mids and Treble are much more the focus. I can easily tell this version from the 5P. I find the 5TX bass version just slightly more open than the 5P. I enjoy the 5P and 5TX bass version and I plan to get the 5TX non bass version for my Cowon dap which pounds the bass.

Sorry, I'm a little slow on the uptake. By stacked it's obvious you connect the two amps through which one's input and which one's output? Where did you get the connector? (I have one I use to connect amp to player). What did you mean by X5? Typo for 5X? And you didn't mean 5TX did you? So do you use the controls (volume, mid, trble, bass) intermittently or randomly? So you were never in line for the 5TX and ordered the 5P recently? How long did it take to get it?

He bought a second hand 5P.

X5 = FiiO X5 (dap)
Connector = Crystal Piccolino, which I picked up in the HF for sale/trade section
I use X5 line out => 5P which means you skip the amp part of the X5 (no double amping that way)
I use different 5P settings for different iems/headphones, this setting was for the Tralucent 1plus2
As jmills8 mentioned above, this was a used (zolom's) one => no waiting line to get it

 
Cheers!

When deciding to purchase the 5TX my older 5P was meant to be given to my son, but he declined the offer. So I sold it.
Both 5P and 5TX are GREAT. My old ears could not distinctly define a significant difference between them.
 
Both are truly recommended, found them superior to the RSA Shadow and significantly overruling several FiiO amps/dacs I had in the past.
 
I am using the Shure SE846 IEMs which contributes to the overall stage.

Well then, I guess I have to be thankfull that your son wasn't that interested in it afterall

I had a chance to try flinkenick's 5P just before yours appeared in the classifieds, so I already knew how good it was...
 
Had a Pico Power in the past, which also had a very clean and impressive output.
But it didn't have treble/bass switches and changing the 9V batteries always was a hassle imo

 
I've tried somebody else's SE846 (with blue filters) sometimes and liked it very much at that time

 You obviously know your **** and I'll refer to this post when I get my 5TX. But you're basically still just using a player (a Digital Audio Player) and the 5P amp, eh? And, of course, high end headphones. My player is JRiver Media Center which I bought for $50 and downloaded to my Lenovo Win 7. I listen to it through Marshall Monitors. It blows my mind but I wouldn't mind 2 blows.
