We really appreciate the genuine feedback, we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well!
Have been using as a dac, bluetooth transmitter, reciever, portable Hifi music player. It's tiny but is the most powerful device around the market
Thanks a ton for sharing your review with us.
I was initially worried about the nature of the UI of this device since the small screen may lead to a very cramped user experience.... but i was pleasantly surprised at how the UI was operating quite efficiently .... some people may find it claustrophobic but i can pretty much assure that most people will like it ..... of course not having a dedicated play pause and next track button sucks but hey .... thats a price you have to pay for the portability and of course the budget oriented nature of this product.... and you can set of those function in the double click of the power button.... Sound wise i would say it gives a better sound stage than most smartphones out there excpet those LGs ..... and for the prices it delivers a pretty good output.... Can be use an external soundcard for your computer which is friggin awesome and also as a bluetooth amp with your smartphone ... a small nitpick tho... i found the sound a little bright for my taste but still enjoyable and "tolerable" enough to call it good..... for people who might be curious the inline controls of earphones dont work ...atleast not for me.... since those controls were designed for mostly android and ios ...and since this has completely diff OS it cannot interpret those signals..... all in all a pretty good buy for the price and a very good entry level audiophile gear...
Thank you so much for sharing your review with us.
I was worried at first since the small screen may result in a cramped UI given its touchscreen nature.... but i was surprised that the UI actually works quite well... of course not having dedicated pause play and next track button dont exist and only exists in touchscreen form... but hey its small what do you expect... plus you can configure the double click on the power button to one these tasks.... considering the sound i would say it gives you a better sound stage than most of the smartphones out there except those LGs ..... and over all considering the price the sound it produces is pretty godd.... one thing i noticed is that it produces a rather brighter sound than what i would like but very tolerable and enjoyable... all in all this is a pretty good buy for the budget and pretty good entry level audiophile equipment...
It is almost a week since I bought this player, It sounds amazing and I'm already loving it...
I use it with my Sony MDR100ABN headphone. With wired connection, the sound is amazing. However, with bluetooth connection, the volume is too low (LDAC auto mode). I am not sure where is the problem, as my headphones work extremely good with my galaxy s10.
Hey Piyush, thank you for sharing your review with us. The reason you might find the volume to be low while bluetooth because the best output you get when you use with wire connection.
Best product this price range
I bought this after seeing several good reviews and I was intrigued at something this feature packed for not much more in price than the Fiio BTR3 or the ES100 BT receivers. After using it for a few days, I have to say that it's absolutely worth that extra cost as it works flawlessly.
Great audio output, solid battery life, very responsive performance and perfect LDAC functionality (with the option of controlling the music in this player).
The only con would be related to the screen size itself. First the screen might be a bit too small if you have larger hands. Also, the screen size means that your music naming conventions might need to change as the screen is only able to display the first 15 or so characters (didn't count the exact number). So when browsing folders, if you name files like - , then chances are that you'll only see a list of the Artist Names.
These are both minor issues though as the player is superb in every other way. Highly recommended as a gateway into the audiophile DAP world.
