Just ordered one from sharperimage, i think they are the only one selling it.
 
but unfortunately they dont ship it to Australia, so had to go through a shipping agent, now the waiting game begin, also ordered a E11, will nice to find out how the combo work.

Nah there a couple other authorized sellers if you look on Digizoid's site. At least one of them at a time should have a sale going on. I got mine for a little more than 80, you just have to look up those coupon codes.

Anyone found a solution to how to use to with a LOD?

 

[ziocomposite]

it's actually pretty easy but you add another wire.  Volume control/wire attachment

I've used mine that way with the Westone inline volume control that came with my W4's.  It was definitely a better sound due to the use of the iPhone line out.  However after nearly blasting out my eardrums 3 times in 2 days, due to how easy the volume dial moves, I quit using it that way.

Yeah, I can see that happening easily >_< ouch!.  
 
But honestly, if I'm at home, I use it with my cmoybb.  On the go Z^{2 combo (zune/zo) since I feel it enhances quality enough really =D}

Personally, I don't think an additional amp does any good with the ZO. The ZO alone makes the SPL at least twice as loud, so I really don't see how double/triple amping will do any good.

I only use it with the AD700 but not really as 2x amp function.  Since my cmoybb has a bass added future, I can turn up the bass on the zo w/o warming out the music too much.  With the Zo by itself, by the time I get the amount of bass I want the sound is too altered >_<.  Well, to my ears anyway =)

Hmm so is ipod Line out loud enough already to power some iems? So the volume adjuster thing is just there to lower the volume?

 

[shotgunshane]

Yes, the volume control is ONLY to turn it down.  The line out volume is extremely loud 

 
Edit: the ZO effectively doubles the volume but the line out volume is still pretty loud.

Do any of you guys know of a good line volume controller? Good being the relevant point, as things like the Koss volume controller (http://www.amazon.com/Koss-155954-VC20-Volume-Control/dp/B00001P4XH/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306383474&sr=8-1) is known to degrade audio. Oh, and something that could be used as a portable, not those stationary big volume knobs, like a silver one with a blue led, that I can't remember the name right now.

This seems like it might work....shorter but with two inputs lol

Video and it looks like you have to push the volume up/down instead of a knob.
 

Looking at reviews it looks like it can lower the volume a little bit only.  =\

Does anyone know what the best price of the ZO is? The cheapest I've seen is $99. Is that the best, or is there better? Also, is there going to be a v2 ZO coming out? Since if that is the case, I'll probably just wait a bit, and end up ordering the v1 when it comes under discount.

 

[alphaphoenix]

The cheapest, I believe was had early this year from Sharper image with a 20% discount code and free shipping (when I ordered mine for $79.99).  Digizoid has posted the v2 on their facebook page and from reading between the lines late July/August seems to be the time frame.  You might try the following Sharper Image discount code of 12% "AFMAR18".  Says it's good through June 1.

The Shure volume controller, the one that also comes with the SE530, is very good. Mine doesn't crackle and has no channel imbalances. It's also rather low-profile and lightweight.
