I saw 1,333 USD from yi fan store 4.4. I just purchased bx2 plus from Huo Guang and I’m always nervous from AE. I always pay for the extra shipping but processing times usually take time

Die anyone post how much the Pro will cost? Can’t find it anywhere …

CHF 1´400.- after conversion, ca. EUR 1’300.-. Not that bad, isn’t it mate?

A few posts back somebody mentioned they wish the volume knob was knurled. I agree. Has anyone ever tried removing one? I don't remember seeing a set screw or anything so it must be a press fit. Don't want to risk damaging it. Plan B would be some sandpaper and two sided tape around the outside of the knob

I thought I had AE figured out and paid extra for express DHL. But seller says 10 day warehouse arrangement? I’m just eagerly anticipating bx2 plus to arrive!

A big jump in price compared with BX2+, I am wondering if is worth upgrading

Hi Fellas, I was wondering if all Romi amps are going to have channel imbalance issues at low volume, especially with high sensitivity iems?

A friend (Fokta, a local resident here) loaned me his BX2+ and it made my Vision Ears VE8 sound better signature-wise (very organic and full bodied, super addictive sound) than every other source I have tried.. but the channel imbalance issue basically made them difficult to enjoy since I can never go beyond 9 o'clock with most iems, except the Z1R..

Seriously considering the BX2 Pro but only if I can be 100% sure there would be no channel imbalance issue..

LOL lucky you.. I guess it really helps being a famous audiophile whose opinion is highly regarded.. since manufacturers will surely do their best to make sure you get the very best (or perfect) unit from their whole batch..

As for the rest of us, we usually just get a "thank you for your purchase, channel imbalance is a common occurrence at low volume and is within tolerable manufacturing deviations, enjoy your unit!" At least that's my past experience with a few manufacturers (and Fokta's too maybe?)

Btw, what did you test the Romi amps with at very low volume? Did you try them with high sensitivity iems?

Only iems I have now is single dynamic drivers and the totl sony iem. I usually adjust the volume through my dap. I just put the romi volume 75% of the way.

If you set it up that way instead of going with LO on the DAP, won't you be double amping, hence introducing extra noise and distortion into the chain?

On the cayin N8 I use LO. On various Cowons yes double amping and they sound great. Dont fear double anything be it double burger , double girls , and now double good. I compared this double amping to other set ups and I like it. The N8 line out is good when my goal is for perfection or testing , but if I am listening to Steely Dan or DJ stuff or bass music , synth , indie or Smiths double is great and fun.
