Same here, and is it about the screen?

Yes it is. Normally I don't care but since screen is very important for navigation due to a lot of software dependent commands I just can't having the screen die on me.

So how do you like your iem pairing, have you tried Layla in balance, I love to read your thoughts.

Ok.  And yes I was testing with Layla balanced.  Of course after the test I will use my K10 with it instead.  The stock MUSES8820 is really killing the mids with that unnecessary recess, so I am keeping my LME49860 inside for now.

Double bingo!!!  Dual DIP8 to Single DIP8 in the correct orientation for the Valoq.

  Can we close the back led with this?

Doubt it but who cares.  With 3D printing these days remaking a cover for it will be easy, plus if you have a pouch for it like Van Nyes it won't matter.

I am predicting that VC quiet possibly release a limited edition 12V, replacing the stock headamp with 627 and than use some BF634 as LPF.

I hope so.

I highly recommend IE800 with valoq, to me it highlights the src feature nicely. 
Just a further update I just got the english manual, I will upload it shortly.

I don't think this is too important for English reading Head-Fi'ers here, but PM me if you need a copy of the manual in Chinese.

So I followed DrSheep's instructions and straighten out the LCD, though I broke off one of the tabs on the left side (the non-chrome strip side) but putting it back together it doesn't seem like there's any issues.  I also had a little scare yesterday when the unit won't turn off/turn on when copying over some files failed and the player crashed explorer and the force shutdown key combo didn't work, thankfully leaving it on overnight and all work day and letting the battery drain to zero reset the player.  So maybe the player software is more resilient than I thought but having to leave it sitting there for 10hrs+ and not knowing if that would reset the player wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.  
 
Also been experimenting with playlists as well.  Since the player is Linux based the playlists generated by the player uses Linux syntax ie you use / for folder structures, though I found out that using Windows syntax also works ie \ .  So copying over some m3u or m3u8 from a Windows machine is perfectly fine.  
 
The player still sounds fantastic though and I love the size and weight to bits but the software side is really a big sticking point.

the new firmware is coming soon and I am looking forward to hear good news about an improved user experience after the firmware upgrade. I would like to buy a Valoq but the bad using experience and the white line issue stopped me.
