Indeed :D Fortunately the package was not damage, the earphones sound pukka

Today's parcel not as exciting. New Fiio X3 gen2 charging (comes with a nice clear case so I just wasted a tenner on a faux leather case :rolleyes:) - not pictured I forgot to add it and stashed it away with stuff to ebay

Card reader as for some reason the Sandisk USB 3 reader I have has a CF slot that no longer works and I've lost the warranty paperwork.

Up until now I've been shooting on multiple smaller CF cards and keeping the 128GB SD card inside the camera acting as 1:1 backup for each CF when shooting jobs. CF cards at 128GB+ were ridiculously expensive in the past at some £300~, but now things have changed and fast 128GB CF cards are cheap. This was £85 on Amazon.

I was dubious as some user reviews stated they received a fake in the box (the old switch-a-roo at dispatch warehouse?). I have checked everything and the speed checks out as well as capacity. Buffer empties from the camera in half the time of a 400x CF card I have too.

Write speed via the card reader connected to my monitor's USB3 port is 72-73MB/s and read speed is 150MB/s.

Give the ends of the shackle a wipe over with WD40 or ACF50 every now and again, I've got the same one and the water seems to sit and rust the ends up a little bit.
Purely cosmetic but irritating when you end up with rusty water on you every time you use it!

This is going back, I've given it enough chances this evening.... will post pictures of it boxed up :D

1 - Really rubbish as a USB dac. I cannot give it any credence in this mode.

2 - as a player it's so so. Sounds ok with cheap headphones but unable to drive any decent headphones/IEM

Avoid with a barge pole guys
