That is a nice stand. I have a curved 8mm thick acrylic one, will upload pics.
Don't bother playing with fiio anymore, I had an e7 and this T1 demolishes it.
The tube is DAC stage not amplifier as you might expect. Therefore the tube is used ONLY if you use it via USB. If you use it to amp a signal the tube is not used.
Get it from the forest like me. You may have to pay 10-11 quid import VAT.
Will take a few days to arrive.totally worth it just to look at on your desk.you can try different tubes too though I have not done this yet.
There is a big thread on the T1 on headfi.
Get upgrade version of it BTW as only bit more, it gets you a slightly better tube.
Thanks daz, keep any more impressions coming.
Ah that first 'open headphone' moment is amazing, you've done well with these it seems
yes they leak sound but I don't bother anyone in my room with that.
