I got a shipping notification from DigiZoid on Nov 5th, so I'm hoping to see something soon, but no tracking information. So could be a while.
 
Will keep you posted. Going to send an email to DigiZoid now.

Mine arrived today.  I'll be able to check it out later tonight and see if it's a keeper.  At least with all of the recent posts I don't have unreasonably high expectations.

That's a drag that you missed the delivery. I had my headphones on for about 3 minutes yesterday and that was long enough to not hear the UPS guy knocking on the door of my apartment. It wasn't my ZO2 but I was really excited about the package regardless. It was a new weighted shift knob for my car and last night was the last opportunity I had to install it before next Tuesday night. Missing packages always seems to feel like the end of the world.
 
My ZO2 is out for delivery right now, according to the USPS site. I'm not sure if it'll fit in the mailbox so I'm anxiously waiting for a knock at the door. It could either be UPS with my shift knob or the postal service carrier with my ZO2. Either way, I'm pretty excited.
 
There has been a lot of talk about hissing with IEMs. I really hope that this does not manifest itself too severely with my stable of headphones. I don't use a line out, if that makes any difference, so hopefully I'll be able to keep the volume tame and get a moderately clean signal. I've got my fingers crossed and I won't be passing any judgments before I get to spend a fair amount of time listening to it.
 
Edit: Only a few minutes after posting this, the UPS woman came by with my shifter knob (which is awesome, by the way). Now I just have to wait for the mailman with my ZO and I can put my guard down.

@dfkt - I initially read 'Austria' as 'Australia' - shades of Jim Carrey in 'Dumb and Dumber' :

Received my ZO2 today.   I am using it my iPad2 and my DBA02s right now.  Having never heard the original ZO I can't comment on the hiss on that one but the hiss on the ZO2 is quite prevalent.  Sure, once the music gets going the hiss fades away but if there are any quiet passages in the song then the hiss can again be heard.  It's a bit disappointing I have to say.  
 
Now, on to the meat and potatoes.  I really do like the way the ZO2 fills out the sound.  With it turned off the music just sounds so thin in comparison.  In this regard it works very well.  It's really a shame that the hiss is always there, waiting to rear it's head.
 
I honestly don't see how an issue like this made it into the final product.   it's kind of hard to miss.
 
Right now I can't say if the hiss is a deal-breaker but I am leaning that way.

Very disappointing :frowning2: I was afraid this was gonna be a prevelant issue. I tend to use IEMs more than my full size cans so the ZO may have to go if this hiss issue is quite noticeable. ZO what were you guys thinking lol?
