I do have a question for all of you lucky owners.  What are your impressions of the silk screening on both the case and end pieces?  Any peeling, rubbing or chipping?  Many of Meier's amps have suffered from those problems.

Nothing on the end plates, still perfect.  My housing is wrapped in invisible shield so shaking it in a bag filled w/ broken glass isn't going to do a damned thing to the silkscreen or anything else.

Dude...you're not ALLOWED to post unless you have any impressions...
 
Never mind that our impressions are "where the *&&^%$^*(*%^ is my AMP!".  It would be nice to have an impression other than "this is some BS", since Rob neither answers emails or sends out any kind of email other than when it ships...*sigh*.
 
Oh, dammit...I broke the rules.  Well, my "sensation" is "ouch".

FIIO make good cheap interconnects for ipods and others.  ALO make super nice ones but be prepared to pay.  imo get something cheap to start, you'll probably be happy with that but you can always scale up.
 
You can diy of course (I did), but parts will cost more than a cheapie off ebay.

You can't go wrong with this one for the Arrow amp!
 

Here was my brief review of it (as posted on Headphone.com):
 
If your portable source device is not an iPod/Touch/Pad, Sansa Fuze or Sony then you have no choice but to connect your device to your portable amp via a 3.5mm mini-to-mini connector.

My preferred source device is a Rockboxed Sansa Fuze V2 (which does not allow the use of an LOD due to USB bugs in the Rockbox firmware - yet to be resolved). Therefore I need to use the headphone-out to connect to my portable amp. HeadRoom's 4" mini-to-mini is just to right size to manage this task. The right angle connectors do a great job of keeping your portable rig low profile.

The sound quality is very good. The cable is durable, yet soft enough to bend when needed.

I highly recommend this cable, for $10 you can't go wrong.

I thought there weren't going to be any 1G upgrades until all the back-orders are filled. The differences are likely quite small (if you're not a bass head) so when I do get the upgrade I'll get the newest model. I still don't hear anything wrong with the 1G so I don't mind the wait.
 
If you've already sent the 1G in....that could be a pain. I'm not letting go of my 1G until I know when the 3G will ship!

I tried the start cheap and move your way up approach and it almost had me sending theArrow back!

I bought the FiiO L5 iPod connector and the sound was terrible. Just god-awful to the point where the sound was just warped. Fortunately I had a Sendstation on the shelf and quickly tried that. Much better sound but not a practical long term solution.

I'm now using a better smaller LOD courtesy of SoulSyde. It sounds awesome!

"Order Processing" simply means "I took your money sucka...get in line with everyone else...I'll let you know in a couple of months when I get around to finally shipping one".

Nah, when I inquired what the next step was Robert told me that he would send me the G3 first, very cool IMO. He didn't say when though. I guess it's going to be quite a while then unless he manages to catch up all at once relatively soon.

He told me the same thing... it is really cool that he'll send the 3G first. That way you don't have to be without the goodness of the Arrow's sound for any length of time. Also, I'd love to be able to compare the sound for a couple days, but I do realize that wouldn't really get you past the burning in phase of the amp. Any more than a couple days probably wouldn't be too cool...
 
He's got my $25, plus $69 for the USB-DAC cable.....

i'm curious, does the invisible shield affect heat dissipation at all? or is the heat generated negligible anyways?
