Has anyone upgraded from 2G to the 6? What are the benefits?
 
From what I've seen, the 6 has:
 
1. Treble switch 
 
2. 
Two bass switches (Amount and Frequency), where the 2g only controls the amount
 
3. Digital potentiometer
 
4. USB DAC
 
5. Removed the impedance switch
 
6. Power switch
 
7. Different opamp and buffer(I cannot remember the models in the 2G)

one of the best amp you can get. Plus its the most portable amp.

 
Fully agreed (on both points)! When you stack it up (I have 5P usually on X5) you almost wouldn't notice it's there

Sucked in.  After reading  reviews I've ordered a 6NX to go with my Sony ZX100.  I looked at buying used but the ones on offer at the moment are not bargains which is good from the point of view of them keeping their value but bad from the point of view of getting in via the back door for less outlay.  Also sounds like the digital volume control, although more expensive than analog, is a better proposition.
 
But I read there could be a wait time.  Anyone know the current situation?

i have a problem with my 5tx, all of a sudden the power indictaor keeps blinking red, and i put it on the charger for more than 6 hours and still keeps blinking red when i turn it on.
 
I tried to drain it and then recharrge it same result, this has been going on for many days. Is there maybe a reset switch
 
how can take the amp appart to remove and reinstall the battery maybe that will fix the issue,

and you didnt leave the dac set to "m"?
 
lol
 
if youre totally sure dac isnt set to m then send it for warranty
 
I wish the new arrow came with a better or more modern DAC, 16/44 is not acceptable today for my needs.

 
 
Newburyport! shocked at how many local users we have now.
agreed arrow at 16/44 is not suitable, but please remember the dac built in its cheap as bones, is is a last resort dac. you are intended to feed a better dac to it. but sometime you have no coice in which case something better than 16/44 would really be nice
