Haha, I'm still kind new to these boards. Looks like Penon is a HK based company which means they will have to ship the order from HK to US.

Yes - I'm always looking at offshore sites for good products!
Prices here in NZ are just offensive (not all the time) so I usually have to buy sight unseen / ears unheard. I read plenty of forums, read lots of reviews and ask lots of questions before pulling the trigger.
Penon has free International shipping which is a major plus for me.
 
So, the X1 has just been brilliant!! Very easy to set up and get going (from Mac / iTunes / ALAC / iPod) It's also been quite refreshing to go through my entire iTunes Library and transfer ONLY THE MUSIC I ACTUALLY WANT TO LISTEN TO!! I have so much other crap in there that I wonder what I was thinking at the time of purchase

I've also just bought a whole bunch of new music, which I haven't done in ages!! - I'm still doing the buy a CD and Rip to my MacBook thing....I still like having a physical CD that I can slide into the rack with all the others.....tactile and all that stuff....along with hoarding.
 
At the risk of sounding all FanBoy.....I love the X1. Exceeds my expectations by a long shot. The other thing I've noticed is the complete lack of listening fatigue. Previously, I could only do about 90mins with the iPod / UERM's.......I did around 3 hours of continuous listening yesterday and it felt great!
OK, about to crack in to day 2 with the X1.
 
Happy Days.
 
Cheers.

do you have to use a Blank SD Card to download new FW to? Or, is it OK to use one with Music Files already on it?

I like the changes.
 
The start up and shut down screens are an improvement also!

2 Questions: - 
 
1) Protection for the X1 - My device came with the standard Plastic Cover, but still leaves much of the device open and unprotected. My concerns are the SD Card slot and gaps around the spin wheel & push buttons. I've bought this DAP for Cycle Touring (long term) and concerns are dust, filth and grime ruining the device? - Probably best to store in a Zip Lock bag unless you lot can recommend an alternative ??
 
2) Storage for Micro SD Cards?? - How do you store / carry / protect the extra cards you have??
 
Thanks if you can help me out.
 
Cheers.

Fiio used to include a nice silicone case with all their X series DAPs but choose to replace it with the plastic case. I much preferred the silicone case as it offered much more protection although it was a lint magnet if you put your device in your pocket. I'm not sure what's out there for the X1 as far as cases these days but a Korean company named Dignis makes very nice leather cases for the X3II and X5II but I don't know if they still make them for the X1 but you could check on ebay. They aren't cheap though. A plastic bag might work...I've used that when I had to get the bus to work and it was pouring rain. As for storage of SD card I don't know... I keep one in my player and I don't really switch them out. The others I have I keep at home or in my other player. I actually store my SD cards in a small plastic container inside the plastic adapter.

Thanks Bruce.
 
Yes, I think the Zip lock will be the best option here.
I've resorted to storing the 2nd card in a USB Card reader that will be coming with me also - so that should work out fine :)
 
Cheers.
