I find it pretty hard to believe that Fang is including $200+ earphones for free with preorders on a $370 device.  If I'm wrong, though, be sure to send a pair of RE262's my way!

Hmm, not sure about that.  I thought for a fact that they were redesigning that for the 262 due to the fit issues.

can anybody tell me , as the dac used is a current output dac why is LPF Op-amp: OP275, OPA2604 used as an output stage why not just a resistor and cap?
or maybe im misunderstanding (wouldnt be the first time

)

I have no idea. I haven't seen the RE-262, so I don't know.

Again, this player may sink the boat; who hasn't been waiting for impressions (real, tangible ones) on the 602. Fang, good work as usual and pretty clever marketing.

If this player sinks the boat, the earbuds will act as the life-jacket   Let's just hope this wasn't intended by Fang... I care more about the player than anything else.

I have to admit I don't understand the sinking boat metaphor. Someone care to explain it to me?

In the context in which it was used, I believe the boat represents the expectations for the player.  Impressions that fail to live up to such standards could result in the boat "sinking" in people's minds (people come to think less of it and become disappointed or uninterested).
