Time to edit your signature. Again.Thanks! Gavin had kindly given me a heads up and I'm just waiting to get my grubby hands on it.

Na... I don't count my chickens before they hatch. Besides, there is no reason to rush this one. I am well entertained as it is.
If you dont like carrying an additional amp, there is no substantial SQ improvement you can gain from the new DAPs
Probably just different synergy..
A lot of us oldies started our hi-fi journeys with Sony - cassette decks, Walkmans, Discmans, etc. It was possibly the pre-eminent brand of its day.Thanks for the advice, CHG! I agree. Hence, I am in no particular rush. In fact, I am not afraid to confess that it will be in part due to sentimental reasons if I pick up the ZX-1 as the latter day iteration of the Walkman. Sorry - I'm betraying my age. :tongue_smile:

I was an AIWA boy.
Yup Aiwa too. I loved their home decks. But back to portables, we were so so happy to be able to carry 3-4 tapes with us outside the house, plus batteries. Now we talk of GB and TB, plain vanilla MP3 vs DSD/FLAC. OK, time for this old guy to stop reminiscing.Kurochin, I actually a couple of AIWA "walkman" myself. Sadly, we don't see much of them these days.

I used to bring a carrying case with around 30cds and a discman in college. some of my best friends are met in the school's coffee shop while I was listening to music between lectures. discman and music are good icebreakers.

Are you located near a Jaben? Since actually purchasing the FitEar CIEMs might pose some difficulties. You have to physically be there to do the impressions.
You also probably want to listen to the demos before buying...
Buying blind into CIEMs is just too risky unless you've heard the company's sound signature before in their universal products (like the TG334).
With CIEM there's always a big risk - since even with demo units you will not get the same seal as the real deal so the sound will be different.
