Do you think that ZCash will change their algo. Do they have the guts ? Really it definitely looks like all of algos will have an asic this year. I think next one will be NEOSCRYPT. We need new algos. The cycle is repeating.

This will sell out quick , A3 first batch ROI'd quickly , but 1st batch B3 and E3 and X3 saw quick drops in price for 2nd batches coming immediately after 1st batches ... Obviously X3 saw Monero fork / change algo...

Not sure that Zcash would want to fork : http://www.crypto-news.in/news/alt-coins/zcash-founder-zooko-not-interested-asic-resistance/

* EDIT *Or this, more recent update : https://forum.z.cash/t/let-s-talk-about-asic-mining/27353/638?u=zooko

May have to keep an eye on this, would love a Z9 asap but my gut says wait til batch 2

Thank you for the update, it looks like indeed this will be a new journey and further disruption to the GPU mining.. with Casper looming on ETH and POS , we might see the eclipse of industrial GPU mining this year..
