Overview
Not a phone with a music app, this is a dedicated digital audio player built around two ESS DAC chips and an FPGA chip. It plays high resolution files, offers single-ended and balanced jacks and works as a USB DAC for a computer.
Balanced output and native high resolution decoding are the reason to choose a player like this, along with Bluetooth in both directions for wireless headphones or sending sound to a speaker. The screen is small. The after-sale route is long, since repairs involve shipping the unit to a factory abroad.
Who it's for
Listeners with wired IEMs or headphones who store lossless music files and want a dedicated device get the most from the DAC chips and balanced jack. Casual listeners who stream from a phone, or who want easy local service, will find it unneeded.
Pros and cons
- Dual DAC chips
- Balanced and single-ended jacks
- Wide high resolution format support
- Two-way Bluetooth and USB DAC
- Repairs ship to a factory in China
- Warranty claims need paid freight and duty
- Storage setup needs checking
Performance notes
Sound quality depends on the DAC chips and amplifier stage, with the balanced jack giving a separate signal path for compatible headphones. Format support covers lossless and high resolution files, and Bluetooth codecs allow wireless use. Battery average life is listed in days, which reflects casual use rather than constant playback.
