I like the Japanese company Nikoli's puzzles; they're actually not computer generated so it's a lot of fun actually doing them.
My personal favorite type is Nonogram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which has a DS game, Picross DS. Good fun.
They've taken care of all the DHL shenanigans too, very honorable. (see the HF thread for details... basically DHL customs defiled the original box and sent them back out in bubble mailers that didn't protect the amps, total fail)
All this USB cable BS aside, I've read some Japanese audio enthusiasts say the Carat Peridot is a good value. The other contender in that category is the iBasso D10 IIRC, can't think of any others at the moment.
I used to have the Opera and the M^3 stomped all over it. If his former flagship exhibits that kind of mediocrity, what's to say his new one won't?

Is this AT ESW9 fake or real? - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
Dunno about ESW10 fakes, but it'd be best to hurry (not rush into possible fakes, though) because the stock is running low.
Did you get the premium optical cables with gigantic connectors? It should kind of lock if you push it in all the way, and I like to get their nonpremium optical cables since they'll never not go in.
