Happy to report my NX4 is rattle free!
Exceptional unit - truly exceeds my expectations.
Ordered from Apos (Oakland California - US Topping distributor) - cannot recommend their customer service highly enough (no affiliation).
I bought mine there as well as the D50s. Great people to deal with!Thanks for the tip on Apos Audio. I’ve been considering the NX4 for a while and saw some $135 Black Friday deals on Amazon this weekend. Much preferring to deal with a reputable retailer, I went to Apos and found that they have a really slick price matching functionality on their site. Literally within seconds they had honored my price match request, and they offer free shipping to boot. You do have place the order at full price and then have a refund for the difference credited to your account. But with any luck, I should have another $25 coming back to me shortly, along with the piece of mind that comes from knowing you’re working with a well regarded authorized dealer.
You will be fine using a CCK kit, don't worry.So my NX4DSD just arrived and I’m wondering what’s the best way to connect it to my iPhone XS. I see many older comments online talking about how nice it is to use the lightning to micro USB adapter that comes with the amp. But mine doesn’t have one in the box, and looking at current retailers’ sites, I don’t see such a thing listed as an accessory.
Should I just use my CCK adapter? I’m a little reluctant to try this only because there are so many warnings in the user manual about using the provided cables.
You will be fine using a CCK kit, don't worry.
Agreed. In my case, I use Fiio CL06 cable (usb type c to micro usb) to connect the nx4 to Fiio m6 dap and all is well. Been using this since October with Senn. 6xx, 660s and ath m50x. Happy camper hereYou will be fine using a CCK kit, don't worry.
Are you sure?The ifi micro BL, right? I think the nano was underpowered. It's almost 6 months with my NX4 and I am very happy with it.
I was looking for a DAC ($200) for my PC and iPad to feed my IEMs and the Yamaha AS-500 integrated amp. So, need a decent headphone amp with low impedance and a good enough line-out.
Portable would be cool but not a necessity.
So, I have Topping NX4 DSD and iFi nano Black Label along with the Chord Mojo in my mind.
Any help in selecting the right one would be great!
Are you sure?
I have seen some superlative reviews for the iFi nano BL and they never mentioned its not adequate.
I sold my Mojo+Poly after acquiring NX4I have had two mojos, bought sold, rebought resold. I can`t appreciate it a lot. I had the hugo2, sold after the sabaj d5+thx887. I had in 2018 the ifi idsd BL , sold. Now I own the sabaj d5 and the nx4 and g7 as portable solutions (nx4 bought last week). Well I finally reached a status of peace. The nx4 is great, black background, great power, portable. The only thing that I do not like of nx4 is micro usb as it is less strong than usb c but it is not a problem considering the price of nx4. From my remembrance between the 3 you are considering I will catch the nx4 without a doubt.
Can be used whilst on charge, no issues.Wow, that's some endorsement for the NX4!!
And the best thing is it's the cheapest one of the lot!
So, the NX4 it is then!
Thank you guys!
I have a question reg. NX4. Can I use it while it's charging ?
I'm going to use it as my main DAC for gaming sessions which can last up to 7 hours.
OFFTOPIC:
I'm amazed at Mojo in that it uses a FPGA or something like that. Also the reviews it gets is incredible. Its only in ASR that it gets a sort of a neutral review.
With the recent price cut, it's in my budget and that's the reason why I selected it as a possible candidate.
Very interesting to see you guys actually ditched it for the NX4.
Btw, I'm a member of head-fi as well and I got a recommendation for the FiiO X3 mk3 there.
Seems like FiiO too have some well specced dacs, even in their DAPs!
They use AK dac chips mostly. Kind of different from the ESS dac chip used in the NX4.
Intriguing...
Yeah, I understand you. Great little (only in dimensions) dac ampI sold my Mojo+Poly after acquiring NX4
All I could find were drivers.Does anyone happen to have the firmware updater for the NX4 DSD? I bought one 3 days ago but i have an issue with the DAC function. It worked the first time i plugged it to my laptop but once I reboot it, I can't get it to work. Same goes for my phone and home laptop, works on the first plug in and nothing after reboot.
I could still get it to work on my phone once in a bluemoon after it gets charged but once i reboot it, my phone only detects it as a charging device.
