The only real flaw this device has is that its charging and headphone ports are on different sides.

Cayin is chinese.

Because lots of DAPs have either a) acoustic characteristics that are absolutely not acceptable in this day and age (i.E. more than 1 ohm output impedance, output power barely above that of a phone, a SINAD value that barely reaches the triple digits etc.) or b) a maddeningly slow SoC (if I just...

In a perfect world, a world in which the NX7 is not just an amp, this product wouldn't be worth considering. Alas, we do not live in that world.

This looks amazing. Now, if only their bread-and-butter products were this good...

I have a pre-2021 version of those, and vastly prefer their out-of-the-box sound over that of all my other headphones (Ether CX, HD660S, DT 177X GO). The weight is actually a boon for me, because I'm autistic, and they are like the headphone equivalent of a weighted blanket for me.

On its own, the box is 150$

Judging by the abundance of good products, I'd say the weakest link in the chain seem to be headphones.

Reading the name of the manufacturer, I was prepared for excellence, but 123dB still exceeded my expectations. Needless to say, I am impressed.

The FiiO M15 is a good example for this.

I'd love to see measurements of the Massdrop DT177X Go.

Periapt is generally agreed upon to be the best aftermarket cable manufacturer, afaik.

@Dan Clark Kind of off-topic, but are you planning on giving the Ether 2 a closed-back sibling? Also, I may or may not have squealed like a high school girl upon seeing the MrSpeakers in this forum

@amirm Have you done the Ether CX yet?

The DX160 apparently measures very well.

I do.

Shanling often claim abysmal specs for their own devices.

The manufacturer claims a SINAD value of ~110dB unbalanced (~106dB balanced), and an output impedance of 0.8ohm unbalanced (1.8ohm balanced, which is quite underwhelming or dare I say, sub-par, just like A&K's entire lineup IF those values are actually true. After all, there have been a few...

A 2020 iBasso DX160.
