Xiaomi back cover is really easy to remove. So I hire a DIY tinsmith to mod opamp to be opa211 and change digital asynchronus clock to be Japan-grade. SQ is so improved that I never touch my dx100 again and think about selling it instead.

Add more info on SW modded in case somebody wanna know, I ask WindowX to mod a fidelizer to it.

Very interesting to hear again. Didn´t expect that someone would go so many lengths to improve ones smartphone sonic capabilities...

Did you ever notice any defects after the HW and/or SW modding?

Everything goes alright. No backfire or spike to my phone. Thank to my professional tinsmith and software developer.

@Anice29 I try meizu 5 pro was amazing SQ but I cannot find much difference with mx4 pro SQ.

That is why i go for another candidate, letv.

An email to Meizu on DSD support in PRO 5 -
 
 
I can't claim to be very knowledgable about all this (still learning and investigating), and I don't claim DSD/DXD to be superior to PCM, Ape vs Flac vs Alac etc
 
Anyone here on head-fi knowing more on further models with hi-fi DACs (w possible DSD support) e.g.; Vivo x5 pro, LeTv one pro, Lenovo x3,
