  Glad I got one last week....

I got the L5 as well and I'll get the L50 now before they are all gone!
 
Thanks for the heads-up!

Anyone running XBA H3 with an A10?

The real question should be, is anyone NOT running XBA H3 with an an A10. It's a contractual obligation, legal and binding.

Great job, the way they should look, just ordered a second one to butcher and modify like this.

Have any A10 owners heard the iPod Nano 6th Gen?

Love to read your opinion of differences in SQ. Thankyou

How did you do this mod? Does this mean no one sells an angled wmport connector? This is the only thing I don't like about my cable.

How did you do this mod? 

 
1. Take a knife, and add pressure to the seams on either side of the walkmamport connector and wiggle a bit, should crack open
2. Cut off the current cable
3. solder of whats left of the wire
4. solder in your own wires, it says R , and L on the board, ground is the middle.
5. cut of the parts of the board that had the L and R markings on it to make it even shorter
6. added rubber O rings on both ends of my cable to help keep the wire together nicely
7. covered em up with sugru http://sugru.com/  molded to shape with fingers, waited a bit(10-20mins) smoothed up with a wet finger

@spatzi how much did you get of battery life using the Line-out with your Topping amplifier?

 

[gerelmx1986]

Ordered my L5 cable, with mp4nation, should take between 2 to 7 days with FedEx

@spatzi

Don't know yet. I'm about six hours in. If I get to 15 hours before the first bar drops then I know it's about the same. You would assume that the battery would last longer because the a 17 is no longer supplying any power when the topping is used via wm port.

How long-lasting is the L5 LOD i am worried and want to order a 2nd One

James Fiio is a smart man, to discontinue the product. Don't see the point of this cable with the newer walkman. Maybe he should be appointed to work for Sony or a collaborative partnership, just like Aiwa.
Anyways, my A17 has arrived. Got the black one. Not a fan of silver as most of my audio equipment is black. Right out of the box, it looks and feels like a toy.

how? what if your walkman let's say can't drive a good set of cans properly, you must use an amp, and most BUTNOT ALL amps today have analogue IN (more and more common that an amp gets DIGI IN too)

@spatzi how is the sound of the topping? i am waiting pfff to March release of the OPPO Ha-2 amplifier
