That angled Neutrik interconnect was in my wishlist for some time...
 
Since I already have a longer, 4 wire version I didn't order.
 
But thinking of the total price (15 USD) it seems as a steal. Hope the cable they use is a good one.
 
Please inform us about the quality after you receive them @Wokei
 
 
 
PS: The price for single Neutrik jack is nearly 9 USD (icluding shipping)!!!

BTW, I am approaching 85 hours now. No signs of flat battery yet. Apart from the sound quality this battery run time alone is worth spending 40 bucks

I really want to now what kind of chip they used inside...

Will do...in 2 weeks or more.

Me have the same thought too... just the plugs itself... so why not

Each day goes by I am regretting ordering from Ali Express, even though I saved $6 from not getting it from Amazon or Radioddity.  I looked into my AliExpress account today and found something interesting.
 
There are two orders in my account.
1. NX1 that is awaiting payment (I already paid)
2. NX1 that has been shipped.
 
I have no idea what that #1 order is, but I'm leaving it be for now.  I emailed them to find out how I can track #2 because every site I've tried cannot find it based on the tracking number provided. 
 
As for the cable, is it necessary?  Some of them look really nice.

If I can get my butt off the sofa I will compare the original NX1cable with my Neutrik golden angled jack, silver 4 conductor interconnect wire and report today.

Comparisons finished :)

Silver wire with neutrik gold jack is very close to the performance to NX1 cable for most -hard hitting- songs. On calm music like Susan Wong "My Cherie Amour" I can detect slight differences. Silver wire yielded slightly more details and slightly higher volume.

Is it worth spending extra 15USD (I am talking about the cable that wokei ordered) on a better cable? Well it depends... Lets wait for more inputs on this topic.

FYI: I ordered on June 26 from ebay:

with free shipping (which they later changed) and it arrived today (July 10) to Dublin, Ireland. Unfortunately, I'm away for two weeks, so can't play with it yet.

Just ordered one for £21.99 from a seller in the Netherlands from ebay. Based on the reviews on here I'm really looking forward to it as my portable rig after the e18 turned out to be much less portable than I'd hoped.

Looks like I ordered mine from the same seller. Was hoping for speedier postage than that but it seems like its probably worth the wait.

Yeah, I was hoping to get it before my trip... missed it by almost a week. The sellers ships in 48h, but this is of course working days only and from my experience registered mail seems to be painfully slow, but well... it was free shipping.

Me have not use the original cable that comes together with Topping NX1 ...instead have been usiing these three cable ..see pic



First cable from left ...sound warmer ..bass wee bit harder ...

Middle cable .....bass wee bit less than first cable but details n treble wee bit clear

Third cable on the right ....best of both world of the two above ( thick pure silver cable )

Me dont think difference is night and day ...but noticeable ...maybe with better source or different amp might yield much more ...I dont have any other amp to compare with...so have to take me comparison for what its worth with a pinch of salt ...
