Is there any info about output impedance for this thing? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

does anyone can compare MUB1 with other DAP ?

I demoed the 64Audio Volür today (thank you @Audio46) with the MUB1.
Worked very well, plenty of power and bass, but still highly controlled.
It's the CEMA Taiwaitian, quite rigid though
He is here !

Anyone compared this one with the Questyle M15? (sound only of course)

Is it safe to connect MUB1 to fast chargers? Coming from Q5k and I know that Q5k warns against doing this.
In my case it didn't blew up. This days fast charging is operated by special chips both in charger and the device being charged so MUB1 would draw as much current as it need.

MainPictureThere:
Got mine MUB1.
I'll go straight to the sound:
0) OMG THATS POOOOOOWEEEEEEEERRRR!
1) out of the box it really sounds strange and muffled.
2) enormous power - Shozy Pola(veryPowerHungry iems) sound great, and other sources (FIIO M17 Q7) could not reveal these iems.
3) the peculiar sound inherent in this DAC, i.e : the bass is soft, there is no clear impact like the QLS QA361 (the bass is like a jackhammer), the mid frequencies are straight and somewhat harsh in the upper middle, the high frequencies are good and have a good balance between airiness and weight.
4) filters change the sound (but Nos mode sounds narrow and soft for me).
5) too compact size lika a magent powerbank for iphone.
6) some noise on 4.4, better use a 3.5 for iems(also power too enough).
About the comparison: many were waiting (including myself until I bought Mub1) for a comparison with the QLS QA361.
So, the QA361 sounds smoother and more aggressive, a little more technical and bright in the upper mids, and less bass. I would say that the MUB1 is the 361 with musical presentation and added weight + pumping on the bass as well as increased power.
Also have a QLS QA390 but...this is different: 390 is wider on soundStage, more powerful bass(biggest and deeper), higs more and more brighter.
When compared with other wireless DACs, it easily outshines the Fiio Q7, especially in terms of power (Shozy on the Q7(no pc mode) - 90%, MUB1 50%).
