Yeah, that shiny knob is the best looking one imo.
Beats the one with the 2 rings or the flatter one by far.

I haven't had a chance to listen for this updated Supermacro IV yet. It is still getting charge at the moment. Now I just have to wait for my Reference to come in, eventually.

Apparently Xin is sorta on schedule with the upgrades. Sent my Supermacro IV for upgrades in late July and got it back last week So seems this delivery to "justhavingfun" is on Xin's upgrade timetable

I ordered in May (2007). I made the mistake of paying for the amp using paypal. Now I want to buy the Pico instead of the Reference but it is so hard to cancel the order. I guess I will have to buy both amps. If Xin does not send out the amps soon, I think that many of us will switch to the Pico.

I was thinking about doing the same. I've emailed the guy numerous times without any response. The pico is a seriously good amp/dac and so is the predator. I'll be canceling the reference (paid via credit card) and ordering one of those shortly. I'm not going to wait for 10 months or a year to get a reference. It may be a good amp but there are other very good amps our there as well from vendors that take customer service seriously. Sorry for the negative tone but I'm done with "waiting for the Xin amp".

Well, I was never really optimistic that I would get a Reference by Christmas...... But, I am still somewhat hopeful to get one by Thanksgiving....

If you paid via Credit card I would suggest you not canceling!
For your good and others who want it. He won't charge your Credit card until he ship the amp! So what are you loosing? When you finally get it then you can sell it if you like Pico better. Your PM box explodes when you post it in FS forum. But I doubt that you will sell it unless you really need amp/dac combo.

just my 2c.

 

[Quaddy]

any more arrivals in the last week?

 

[tk3]

Seems to be quiet on the Xin front, but that is not surprising considering the time of the year.
I'd say all we can hope for is that he continues his current (or last month's) rate of production in the next year.

 

[Drumonron]

I'm looking forward to impressions on the Xin Reference. In the meantime....Happy New Year all!

Well I got my email today. "The Reference is coming", "The Reference is coming". I feel like Paul Revere.

In keeping with the title of this thread, when did you order your Reference?

The Start of September.

 

[mp101]

I ordered my reference the beginning of August, and originally the mini in June, but changed to a micro.

As you can see I've been impatient and bought a lot of amps, some of which I will sell.
