I was asking for the same loyalty discount on the Verza also, finger crossed.

VAMP VERZA THE NAME OF THE NEW V-MODA AMPLIFIERS???????
Nice found, and here is my rough translation of the 4 bullet points:
And yes, the line before the bullets mean it is the world first DAC that supports ALL platforms (USB, Win PC, iOS, and Android.) This will looks like to be another buy for me, can't wait.
- unified design: DAC decode plus amp plus backup battery.
- high quality audio: enthusiast level AKM DAC, support uncompressed file format (FLAC?)
- low loss: Burr-Brown Op-amp, with 6 layer circuit board
- high efficiency: 150mW enough to drive any headphones
BTW, I finally got my RMA from V-moda and my VAMP is going back for a firmware update.
Yup, I called it........But it was fairly predictable it would be the go-dap x or dd repackaged.

If you look closely to the spec. for the VAMP vs. the original Go-Dap Unit 4.0, you will notice that V-moda double the power and increased the battery. Of course I have no idea what the MSRP for the Go-Dap Unit 4.0 was, so the mark up from V-moda may or may not be worth it to some people.
Not really, if you look at the spec for the VAMP, then you can tell it is not a repackage but a redesign upgrade. I think V-moda will do the same to the Go-Dap X and make it even better.
The new VERZA not only got different electronics but also with a different panel compare to the Unit 4.0 product.
The main difference on electronics as below:
1) VERZA got 150mW output, which doubles the power to drive most demanding headphones
2) VERZA got 6-layer PCB, which is 3 times of GODAP-X, for blocking the interferances.
There are more differences but above are most remarkable.
Actually, from talking with Eric, I do not believe a new device would solve my problem. It sounds like this is not a bug with my Vamp, but rather a problem with iOS 6.
Unless the people in Asia come up with another firmware upgrade, I think I'm stuck with this problem forever. That's why I'm looking for suggestions on how to solve the problem at the output side of things. If I could just reduce the volume by about six db everything would be fine. The volume step would then be well below the audible range that I use.
