Hi @WolfX-700

Could you please try to measure the ADCs, microphone preamps and other interfaces (e.g., monitor controllers) available for mixing/mastering engineers in China? There must be excellent professional products which aren't the usual American/European names.

Zorloo Ztella dongle (both the MQA and normal version, they have a different ESS DAC+AMP chip combo). The old Zuperdac-S was rated very well apart from the 1V output, but this new one should do 2V.

A member has shipped this for testing (from overseas).

Any Chinese "audiophile" DAP, really.

I believe that there are some real gems in there. Real garbage, too, by the way.

There's YinLuMei that produces some gorgeous looking albeit pricey DAP's.


I was about to ask about this. Its a fair bit cheaper off TaoBao within China actually.

The A2's listing on Linsoul states two conflicting THD+N values of -121db and 0.0006%/-104db. When I contacted them about that, they said it was an error, but they have yet to tell me which one of those measurements is the real one (though I fear it is the latter).

HiBy W5 - specifically their UAT protocol claims, if possible. I would be willing to have one shipped to @WolfX-700 if he's willing to ship it out when complete?
