How much will it costs ?
I had tried Zen directly from AK100ii vs + with Cayin Amp ..the difference with Amp it sounded more refine....but I dont hear any improvement on the soundstage...does it means that direct AK100II is good enough for the Zen....

I think it might be the issue of Cayin not being the best for Zen in terms of synergy. Cayin can be considered on the warm side of neutral from all the reviews I have read. Not that they are bad, they are fantastic, but with the new Zen specific amp "Runabout" I would say you might see more of an improvement, as it is specced specifically to really make the Zen shine. Trust me on this, get the amp when it comes out. I have been following its development and lets just say its coming along real nice and you will in for a treat if you listen to them!
The C5 doesn't seem warm to me - it seems quite neutral - but I could be wrong about that. Comparing again to the E12 though, the E12 is definitely a bit warmer.
Having said that, yeah, waiting for that Runabout might be the thing to do!
So I finally LIstened to the Zen today and it sounds really good. But when I opened the box, i also saw another earbuds inside the Zen box? It has a red cable? I wonder what is it, did anyone get this extra earbuds when you ordered the Zen?
