Bad luck on the Walkman, don't go Fiio you'll have even worse luck trust me.

Try to shoot a used ZX1. It simply sounds 10 times better than the A15.

But it costs 4 times more than a brand new a15/a25..lol!

10 times better !!!

And only puts out 15mw per channel instead of 10mw per channel.  
 
In the context of driving all but the most efficient headphones and IEMs, that's like trying to live on 150 calories a day instead of 100.

believe me ,,, if it is really 10 times better ( and i highly doubt that ! ) it deserves every penny of its price !

Yes but if it was really 10x as good as an A15 (it isn't obviously) then it would represent 2 1/2 times the value! Bargain

(The first time in the world of audio that the law of diminishing returns didn't apply)

Guys, keep calm. I don't run for president. I have both and that's my opinion. And btw, also combined with the Stepdance , the ZX1 sounds better by a large margin to me.

 

[castleofargh]

if it was intended as only a personal opinion, then surely there was a better way to word it don't you think? because it sure does look like a grand statement to me.
a little IMO, or "I prefer the sound a lot more". but a number out of your hat and no sign that it's an opinion, you really can't blame people for messing with you a little.

I bought FiiO's L25 L/O dock (mostly because it looks very cool). But when I plug it in, everything is OK except the volume is not fixed, I can adjust the volume while using my external amp!
Is this how FiiO designed their new cable or did they just send me a defective cable?
Thanks.

Heads up, amazon uk have the black one in stock for a more reasonable £127 and the silver one for £139.

Thanks I might be rejoining the club

(In sprit I never really left)

Would have liked silver this time but I'm buggered if I'll pay more for it. Always been a tight git so black it is.

Looking forward to hearing that crystal clear airy detailed sound again. Z3 Compact as good a phone as it is and of course my old iPod Classics were never a serious alternative. One Classic will be sold this time

got a xduoo x2 now in as a15 replacement /in addition to iPhone 5. feels like a great decision right now. simple but great. as long as you dont need tags... and dont exchange the music on it too often. i just keep my fave 100 albums on it.

I thought what better than A26 A17 but not by much!

A15 and A25 have the same SQ. A25 had noise cancelling feature. If you want that go for A25.

Actually it depends if you use the equalizer or not, because on A20 series Equalizer can be used with HR file while it's disable on A10 series.
