I am tempted by the seiun pro-x, with the amount of storage it has and if it can play dsd files competently and then connect to a dac/amp it would be worth considering but a bit worrying that just over a month from shipment nobody has seen a working copy yet. I've been waiting on reviews of the basic seiun player because if they can't manage that they have no chance with the seiun pro-x

Same reason I supported the campaign. Hoping it works out in the end.

edit: Anyone know the amp they are using, or is it a generic el-cheapo smartphone amp?

IIRC, the Pro/Pro X use the Sabre's integrated amp section instead of a dedicated amp circuit. I believe output wasn't the highest either, but regular IEMs shouldn't be a problem.

I have the Cyberdrive Clarity Feather DAC/Amp. It is affordable and functional. It is a touch bass light and has an audible noise floor, but it is well worth it for the $35 I paid with international delivery. In most music listening situations you'll not hear the noise floor, and you might not hear it anyway given variance in ears. The DAC plays DSD natively with no problems and plays nice with IEMs.
 
I backed the Pro X, and expect it to be well worth the price paid. I wouldn't worry about any delays. This is normal for a Kickstarter/IndieGoGo project, especially a wildly successful one. Right now it is Chinese New Year, so I'd cut them some slack.
 
Cheers,

Hey Glassmonkey. Were you able to choose the color of your Seiun Pro X when backing it? I backed the Pro X (x2) but did not get a choice to choose the colors for either of them.

I purchased their $40 usb dac. The experience was not impressive. Relatively noisy. Glitches between tracks. No documentation of any sort. Bass levels were low

Dsd sounded like a pcm conversion not clean like dsd should sound

Thanks Karmeck! I really appreciate it. So this is the survey.

The Seiun Pro/Pro X decodes DSD natively right?

 

[Jackpot77]

The ProX has an additional chip in it to decide natively. The Pro does it via PCM as it didn't have the additional component , if I remember correctly.

Darn , i would have to get the pro x thenn......

I'd wait to order anything from them....   they still have not shipped out the players that they said would ship last month...  not looking good.. yet

 

[rtar]

I was going to order the ProX, but ordered the Player first ..........to see if it met my expectations. If it did, I was planning on then ordering the ProX, but I still have not received the Player, nor even the confirmation of the survey. Since the Player is much more inexpensive, I'm glad that I ordered it first, as a test run.

Dixtercheck Indiegogo some users have already received it. They didn't receive confirmation mails too.

I'm glad you included the word " some " ....    thats what was sent... some....   from what I see they got in a few of the cheaper players...  and sent those " samples " out....   no word what so ever when if ever they plan on shipping the actual orders for these players....  they also have never shown a real picture of the higher end players... just computer mockups...  sorry but its not looking real promising...   they also are using the China holiday as an excuse....  the company is in California... not china
