Just a quick update... e-mailed V-MODA asking how much longer until we could expect a LOD from them, and they told me they'd have it ready in about 2 months.

just buy a venturecraft one. The Vmoda one will probably just be the venturecraft one relabeled/'re-imagined anyway
Why wait？

I like to think myself a loyal V-MODA customer

Me too, but it's not like you can't have TWO cables...  I am using the VentureCraft one for now and it's fine.

Yeah, I'll most likely cave in. We'll see how much longer I can go. Love the amp though- Using it nonstop.

Haven't been following this thread from the very beginning, so not sure if there was any mention of: any announcements on a metallo case for the galaxy s4?

Val said they were going to make one.  IIRC, he said it would be out a month or two after the S4 release.  Could be wrong there, just going off memory...

Do you guy think that when V-Moda will release the next version of their Verza? VentureCraft just announce their next version of their Go-Dap X called SounDroid Typhoon. It can use as DAC+Amp or Amp only. USB DAC is capable of DSD playback too.

I guess in the future V-Moda will release a unit called the Hurricane 

 
I also tried the Typhoon at the Tokyo Show, I was most impressed.

awesome, picked up an S4 on release day. I was also considering making a "universal" clamp adapter for the VAMP VERZA so that it could accomodate just about any phone, but I wonder if that idea has also been thrown around

Hurricane 

. I also spend some time with them at Tokyo show too. Pretty impressive, much clearer and cleaner than my X with LME49860. To bad that they don't have MUSES02, it should pair very well with my Socket 1 DD LE MUSES02.

You could always write to them, they seem open to requests.
 
I did try a Muse 8920/Muse01 on the day.

I always write to them. I believe that Typhoon will come with only one version and then it's up to you to switch the OpAmp.
 
Actually, I just got an email from them, they decided to change the name back to "Go-Dap X2".

 

[ExpatinJapan]

I tried three models
 
AD8066 (fixed)
OPA627AU (changeable) 
 
And the Muse I mentioned, plus another that I did not take notes for.
 
The changeable OP amp is a good idea.
Hmm, GoDapX2.

VentureCraft actually purposefully didn't choose Go-DAP X2.
 
Edit: Woops. Sorry, OT here.

So the max file resolution the Verza can output is 16/44? Is that the same as the maximum on the IPhone 5 via a digital connection? Can the Galaxy S3/S4 output a higher resolution than that?

I was quite interested in this amp but I gotta admit, if that's the maximum output, then it's lost some of its appeal and supposed versatility in my eyes
