Dsnuts, what do you think of the Doppio now? It is by far my favorite universal multi-all-BA that I've heard at this point (yes, better than the SE535, SE530, and W4, etc.). As for favorite all BA period (universal), I think the Doppio and the Heaven V tie for me.

The doppios almost sounds as excellent as the fx850

How much burnin did you put on the doppios ericp

 

[Grayson73]

  Bit more expensive than Tenso, actually.

Tenso wants date of birth from Passport, Driver's License, National ID Card (etc.).
 
Is it safe to give them this information?

Probably about 100 hours now, mochill.

Yes. I gave them my driver license but I blocked out the DL number. They were find with it. But yes, they are very legit. I've done tons of business with them and no problem. The Japan law requires this information now.

Damn u guys....guess ill order doppios and 850s......fostex can wait till they start showin up in classifieds. Amazonbjp /tenso cheapest for these?

 

[mikaveli06]

If anyone interested in an x3 for halfprice....im gonna list mine when x5s start shipping...just a lil heads up for anyone interested

Isn't Kakaku just a price comparison search?  I used it for S680 and the cheapest one shipped is Amazon.jp.

Have you guys used Tenso?  Although buying from small companies would be difficult, Amazon.jp doesn't seem so bad since they have a guide specifically for that site.

How much cheaper is Tenso vs. Whiterabbitexpress to the U.S.?  I'm wondering if it's worth the extra hassle of ordering yourself.

Kakaku has it's own forwarding service BuySmartJapan. Just click on the banner at the bottom of the page:

Usually it will be as cheap or cheaper as other forwarding services.

Have used both Kakaku and Tenso, Kakaku much easier, haven't compared fees

Really like my X3, even though I haven't had much success with the UI (can only use it reliably in the file search mode), but enjoy listening to it. My main problem is storage-32gb just doesn't do it for me, fill in no time, now busy deciding what to delete to have room for new music I've gotten. Very few players offer enough (in fact, most offer much less). Haven't read too much about X5, reviews positive about sound, of course, would be an option for me if I can put on at least 64gb (really would like 240).

 

[peter123]

X3 should work fine with 64gb, I think I read somewhere that future updates will include possibility for 128gb as well.

 

[mikaveli06]

I have a 64gb card in mine.....has to be formated with a certain program first....its on fiio website

 

[doctorjazz]

Really? Thought 32gb was limit, is that something in firmware updates (which I haven't done)? That would be a reason to do it, having trouble deciding what to delete next

 

[peter123]

It supported 64gb from the start but many people had trouble with some cards. As far as I understand that's pretty much taken care of in firmware updates. You can now formate the card in the player. You should definitely upgrade to latest firmware first. That's very easy.

 

[doctorjazz]

Thanks, look for the upgrade now and get 64 gb card for it, make life a bit easier...
