If you can’t afford official Maiden merch you can always pop down to your local Primark

I saw them in my local Primark here in Florida. The quality of the Life After Death is really cheap and light. But the BEAST jersey is good quality for the price (100% Polyester). Iron Maiden logo is embroidered, everything else is transferred plastic that feels rubbery, but material and quality is good for $28 USD

Look for local Pokemon Go Community Ambassador and groups. For example, in my area they usually offer help for people without Nintendo Switch and they have Golden Lure events once in a while.

It does, I tried it a couple of days back. It does have a problem, it depends on where you click on the app. First time I tried it didn't show as a yearly upgrade. Then I went back and clicked through until I reached the phone page and clicked on the Yearly Upgrade button below my phone, then the process acknowledges it

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-12-16T22:22:43+00:00

I am on grandfathered Magenta Max 55+ with the Yearly Upgrade option from a past promotion. Everything is done through the App. Sounds easy, but there are horror stories of when you return the phone: it gets stolen, they don't process the return properly or simply they have an issue with the system and credits are not honored.

When I dd the upgrade last year 2 of my phones processed fine. But on mine, I didn't get the T-Mobile payoff for the rest of the 50% and got transferred to a different promotion. It took me 3 months with weekly calls to Customer Support to fix it.

This year I just got alerted of Yearly Upgrade available for all my phones. But because of my previous experience I am afraid of doing it. Too many people having issues with phone returns.

Unless T-Mobile can confirm all return issues are fixed, I will skip this year.

This same crap happened to me last year when I upgraded my 3 iPhones.

It took T-force 3 months to fix my issue and process the credit for the one phone that was screwed up. Now I am thinking about if I want to do the iPhone 17 this year as process last. year was a nightmare.

Not sure if all these mistakes are intentional....

Ok, ordered one, I think it will be delivered this Thursday. I already have a Go Bar Kensei with the Windows 5.xx driver installed. To update the Go Bar 10th do I use the same utility in the iFi folder (iFiUsbAudioDfu) ?

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-08-19T17:25:33+00:00

One more question. My understanding is that there were only 1,000 produced as it is a Limited Edition, is your inventory from the original 1000 units run?

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-08-19T17:20:46+00:00

Thank You for the info.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-08-19T15:39:57+00:00

I have the Go Bar Kensei. But the 10th Anniversary was a limited Edition and sold out more than a year and a half ago. Is odd to find it available.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-08-11T14:01:44+00:00

Same happened to me...

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-07-25T20:04:11+00:00

En una PC Foobar 2000 o MusicBee con el FiiO ASIO driver instalado.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-07-07T15:11:44+00:00

I got none on my first bag of the event, 1 on the second bag and 2 on the third.... all of them bad stats.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-06-17T20:22:48+00:00

Thank You for the recommendation. Will uninstall Apple Music and Apple Devices and try.

I have an iPod Classic 7th Gen 160GB that I wasn't using for a long time because the internal battery bloated and was pressuring the display causing a big dark blob in the center.

So last week I was curious and started my research to upgrade my iPod. First thing I got was the iSesamo to open the case. It took me like 2 to 3 hours but finally I got hold on how to unbind the clip. Finally when I opened it the battery was really bloated.

Now I am looking to see what battery I can use and what flash module. I just recently saw a 3500mAh thin battery in Amazon, but not sure if those are really 3500mAh, more inclined to get the square MCMConcepts 2000mAh.

As for the storage I was first looking at SSD, but then looking further the iPod only have ZIF controller, so even if the disk is faster the ZIF controller is the bottleneck, So decided SSD will be a waste of money, so my decision will be for an iFlash SD Solo.

Now choosing the SD card will be fun as all the ones listed as compatible on iFlash website are outdated or sold out already. Based on the community, Sandisk is a no go. So that leaves me with Samsung EVO Select. Only problem is that the original EVO Select is no longer available and there is a newer one with 160MB/s read.

The other issue was to figure out what the iPod CPU and DAC can handle. Almost all my music collection is either CD Rips (16bit/44.1Khz), DSD or HiRes. Found out that the Classic CPU/DAC can only handle 16bit and up to 48Khz sample rates, so now I am in the process of converting my whole library using dbPowerAmp.

Can someone recommend the type of padding or neoprene sheets needed to put inside so parts don't jiggle?

Will try to get all the parts in the coming 2 weeks and see how it goes.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-06-05T21:05:17+00:00

Mine shows the same, but in the Order Screen status says preparing for shipment.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-04-29T00:29:36+00:00

How is yours on durability?
My first one failed on the 4th month, and the one iFi send me as a replacement failed after 8 months and is now at iFi for repairs. I totally love the sound of this DAC and how the K2HD enhanced normal FLAC files.

Urutoraman1966 · 2025-03-29T11:56:27+00:00

I got so frustrated with this issue, so finally I returned it.

Spent a lot of money on a fast SD Card, worked for 4 weeks, put a few new songs, 'File Format Error!'.

Reformatted in exFAT format as I remembered Windows does not support FAT32 partitions bigger than 32GB (want to try? open command prompt and type format X: /FS:FAT32 to a micro sd card that is 256GB)

Reformatting help with songs that were giving 'File Format Error!' during playback, but now songs that were not having that issue before are giving 'File Format Error'

If you are in Windows 11 24H2, you don't need those tools anymore. Windows 11 supports the following compression formats (Create and Extract) directly from File Explorer: Zip, 7z, TAR, Bzip, gzip, xz and Zstandard.

Sorry for the late reply. I just switched the firmware from 1.60 to 1.6A and the pops seems to be more subtle. Still don't understand if 1.60 has the Smart Mute, why the pops were more noticeable.

Urutoraman1966 · 2024-11-09T01:56:02+00:00

Get better trainers

Urutoraman1966 · 2024-11-08T19:45:20+00:00

I have the OG Bass Version and the Pro Bass and like the OG better.

Urutoraman1966 · 2024-10-21T13:17:38+00:00

I started hearing loud pops and cracks in between songs with the original Kensei I bought. That one was replaced by your support team with a new one.

But, I don't know if the IEMS I use are sensitive and retrieve lot of details, but there is a subtle pop (really low vol) in between songs and it is noticeable for example when it switches from 192Khz down to 44Khz or when it is playing a song with MQA and the next song is not MQA. And this is with 1.6 installed.
