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.

Let customers speak for us
The soundstage and imaging in games is awesome. I can hear every minute detail
Very detailed sound and wide sound stage
The quality of the product really good and audiostore experience as well
The audio quality was great... And this is the first time I m buying from audio store... It was good experience and it came very faster than i expected !
The resolution of audio has improved drastically due to the balanced cable. The cable makes my Shanling UA2 Plus DAC + Amp to provide more power to the drivers of my Sennheiser HD620S headphones. So, the volume of the headphones has doubled.
The build is solid and the most impressive thing is the flat sound stage.It is recorded to use a portable DAC to get the best sound possible.Not recommended for bass lovers
Good
Very prompt response
It's very good very energetic sound
Audio quality is too good
The fitting and impact of sound quality and comfort is amazing I would love to buy more this kind of eartips
Most convenient
This was a gift for a friend of mine. The shipping took some time but when it reached them it was shipped the same day and after two days it was received. It came in perfect condition. I'll copy my friend's review below:
"This is most balanced IEM with a touch of warmth among everything out there. The Bass is just a bit much and with a 3db high-pass filter it became perfect. It doesn't get much better from this. The soundstage and imaging is decent and competes with +800$ stuff. The tuning, resolution and timbre is one of the best even under 2k. I'm very much in love with them. The comfort is pretty decent. I haven't got tired of them even after long hours."
The audio quality is very crisp and refreshing
The sound just amplified after using this with my kz castor pro IEMs....it is amazing.
