Just an FYI, the Meelectronics a151p 2nd generation is on Massdrop for a lowest price of $34.99 USD. That is an incredible deal for this earphone guys.

If you are looking for reference sound and balanced tuning these are great. Read the reviews and take a look.

 

 
Thank you for making me buy more iems! NOT

Topping nx2 finally arrived. Just testing it out - it doesn't work with my phone. Most other dacs I've tried have worked no problem, my old fiio E07k being an example. 
 
That makes the device slightly impractical as it has 2 usb inputs, one for charging and one for the dac part. That makes it a little bad as a desktop device on top of not working with my phone (which has android 5 on it). 
 
Anyone know of tricks to get dacs to work on android 5, do I have to select it somewhere? I didn't have to do anything like that with any other dac at least. 
 
Well, on to sound - due to mostly spending my time on debugging I haven't really listened to it. Did a couple of songs on my Havi b3 and I can say that it can get the havi to volumes I wouldn't want to hear. It seems to have a slight bass boost (similar to the nx1 maybe?) sounds clear with possibly a bit gritty/harsh highs - will need to test more.

A finding on VJJB V1. I noticed that the housing is not assembled properly and there is a tiny gap that allows air out from the housing and thus impacts SQ. The gap is in the from part where the transparent plastic part with nozzle connects with the rest of the housing. Used superglue to close that gap and now it's sounding a lot better.

@EISENbricher, Piston 3 , ED9 , VVJB V1 . Some of these are better than soundsoul S-018 ?

Is this a gap on part or fonctionnality?
I have removed on both sides the nozzles from the housing

when pulling them

I was just selected to the beta test HE-1000 program, which is awesome. It goes against the value nature of this thread, but it's good to have an ultimate flagship as a comparison. HiFiMan is still technically Chinese right?
 
I will not be able to answer any questions about it. I can and will only provide sound quality impressions. With my incoming Geek Pulse Infinity, it should be an unbelievable combo.

Summit fi ftw. Value nature be damned, I would kill for a chance to listen to the HE1000. Congrats on being chosen! When do you get the unit?

I don't have P3, ED9 still not received. S-018 slightly better than V1 but V1 is kind of special since it gives feel of surround sound that I had never heard in AN IEM except for Havi b3.

Lol man you gotta ensure that there are no air gaps, even slight on the housing. Of course it's not a part of design to allow air throught, it's just happening because of build issues. Seal it well and see the difference it makes!

I agree with you for the special surround sound and for listening piano waoooo!, but for me it seems leak some high frequences, i continue burning it.

If you look at VJJB V1 close-ups from this thread, you notice that drivers in reversed phase. Same with the first vesion of Havi. That type of connection makes "surround feeling" for both models

Reversed phase? Would you please mind describing that?

I just ordered a NX2 too, waiting for it to be delivered
You said you had compatibility issues with your smartphone? 
May I know what smartphone are you using?

Sorry, my mistake. At the first look on pictures it seemed to me that black and red wires are crossed, but it's not.
Read revew of old Havi version recently. There mentioned that two drivers connected like that.

If a dac isn't working with your smartphone (Assuming your phone has usb OTG function) it'll work well after you install and use USB audio player app. 
 
NX2 should work without issues on any USB OTG phone with USB audio player.
