Customer Reviews
My previous DAP was a Cayin N3. This is big step up from that. The touch screen is very responsive and UI is smooth, no lags whatsover. Haven't tested the battery backup but the standby time is impressive. This can act as a airplay receiver and it works flawlessly. I am most using it to stream music through hibylink which works great as well. The 3.5 mm output is underpowered and lacks dynamics. Do not have a 4.4 cable so havent been able to test the 4.4 mm output. The screen resolution is pretty mediocre but does the job. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the device. The delivery from TAS was extremely swift and i received the device the very next day that I ordered it.

I carry the following items in my office bag.
1. Fiio BTR7
2. Fiio BTR7‘s type-C to type-C cable
3. Fiio BTR7‘s type-C to lightning cable
4. A 4.4mm (F) to 3.5mm (M) converter
5. Hifiman RE400
6. Type-C to 3.5mm dongle
7. Lightning to 3.5mm dongle
See the attached pictures. Earlier, I used to carry these 7 items in 2 separate cases. With this case coming in at just Rs. 250/-, I have now perfectly fit all these 7 items into one case. It’s made my life easier as i no longer have to carry and pack-unpack two separate cases each time.
I also love the fact that this case fits the Fiio BTR7 like a glove.
For me, this case has the perfect length, breadth, and more importantly width.
The case’s in-hand feel is also very good and it’s zip is super smooth.
200% recommended.
The earphones obviously are great and I just hoped to get original product as I’m ordering for first time in audio store. And the product quality is super and packaging also protects damage, I like it, I would shop at audio store to get any top branded quality product
Exactly what I was looking for my iPhone 13 Mini.
Official Apple dongle works but too thin cabled tangly one.
This one is far better form-factor & music quality wise!
About The Audio Store
==================
I made 2 purchases so far. Order to delivery experiences have been so smooth, fast and efficient.
Keep up the excellent performance guys!
I bought Audio Ehhiku before AP5 and my only question to Pritam/TAS was, is there another set that can match or beat Ehhiku's sonic brilliance. Pritam recommended AP5 as a worthy side grade to Ehhiku. And AP5's lush, relaxed and premium tonality totally justifies this set's claim as one of the best bargain from a price to performance ratio in the 20 k price point. After significant burn-in, AP5 shines like a Diamond in the sky. Thanks Pritam and TAS for recommending this set. Cheers!!
I loved this cable. This was the best one available in the least price. The cable quality is supreme and order arrived on time as well.
This is my first order from the audiostore and my trust went up.
I've always enjoyed the hallmark ESS sound - resolution and instrument separation - and own a number of portable as well as desktop DACs based on various ESS chips. The RAW MDA-1 maintains that tradition but has even better imaging and soundstage IMHO. True, the sound signature of a DAC does not depend on the chip alone; the output stage design also plays a big part - and SMSL's expertise is evident here, just like in their AKM-based offerings like the Sanskrit MKII or more recently - the SU-1. Of the many albums that I used for initial impressions - want to specifically mention one - Dave Brubeck Live With The LSO. I was able to make out even the more recessed instruments and the sound was distinctly holographic - I could pinpoint location of instruments and the soundstage depth was amazing! Extremely happy with the purchase and thanks to TAS for bringing this to India so soon!
I must recommend this DAC to any alternatives out there with 3.5mm Connector.
Reason: This is very underrated DAC , it has USB audio Class 2.0, who are using UAPP ( Usb audio player pro) they will benefit from this and knows how the sound quality differs from 1.0. And only the DAC with 70mW output power this is huge in this price range. What else need more than this ? Just go for it.
Well-made versatile (balanced, single ended termination) IEM cable. In picture it may look stiff due to nylon sheathing, but in reality it is very soft and flexible cable. DUNU craftmanship on this cable is commendable.
Great iems , recommended for gaming and heavy bass music ....
For the price at these iem are you in for a party in your head. Better to use them with a DAC as more power they get the better they sound. Sound quality is👌, better than normal earphones. Great for bass heads. Also thanks to the audio store for such quick order processing , got me iems in 1 day and gift wrap (which i did not ask for or expect) kudos to them 👏!
I've been using this eartips for quite sometime now and I've been using this with the OPPO Enco X2 and I really love the fit and comfort this offers.
Plz send update the software for earbuds & more EQ mode
I am using it to connect my 4.4 mm ended cable of my IEM to my Bluetooth dac. Sound is good.
These tips saved the Final Audio A5000 for me! The overly sharp edges on most female and some male vocals, the harsh-sounding treble, and the not-so-rounded nature of sound coming out of the A5000 vanished the moment I put these tips on. I also used this with FiiO FD5, Dunu Titan S, and Meze Alba to have a nice well-rounded sound. That's what it does - it makes sound well-rounded so that the song or music that you are listening to becomes coherent across the frequency range. Perhaps the most important thing about the well-rounded sound that it provides is that you can enjoy the entire scale in your IEMs, from the lowest to the highest. In the case of the A5000, it sacrificed a bit of soundstage but at the same time provided tight and rumbly bass, natural midtones, as well as refined treble. I am surprised by the capability of these tips! And that affordable price tag is the icing on the cake! After becoming an audiophile almost a decade ago, I finally learned how to roll tips - thanks to the folks at Dunu! I would highly recommend these tips to everyone.
Smooth Sub-bass and yet neutral sounding.
