Hi all, on Russian forum we discuss the lack of line-out in Mrobo C5. The fact that in the description and on the advertising pictures line-out is declared, but on the big real photos we noticed that the icon of the "line-out" is more like a microphone symbol (as "Microphone-In"). Does anyone here has got Mrobo C5 and can confirm this?
 
See big picture:

I want to ask something maybe a little silly..  But why is it that these "odd" or "unique" items are found on AliExpress and then not on eBay?  I've never bought from AliExpress - I'm not even registered.

Because it won't sell on ebay, they get business because someone in a forum like this are willing to try a product and talk about it. Most people are into conventional items that are sold in the western market. Aliexpress is a Chinese store platform so items cater to the Asian market but some of us tend to find better things since Western brands can't offer the same thing for the same price

you may have to wait a bit until they are on Ebay, although sometimes they never appear.

I see.
 
Actually I just recently checked and now I'm finding the NiNTAUS X10 and Mrobo C5 on eBay.

A new dap, Xunsound XS-01: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HiFi-lossless-music-player-AK4490-hardware-solution-TI-amp-MP3-/272480084438
 
Seems pretty nice, AK4490 dac, TPA6120A2 amp, dual high quality crystal oscillators, dual single channel swappable opamp LPF (stock OPA604), and nichicon capacitors on the output. Has a Line out, and can play DSD128 as well. But only a very simple UI.
 
But I like analog volume so I'll skip this.

Looks very interesting but I wish it had a color TF screen. It has the potential for great sound with that hardware.
