You're right, if I buy ZuperDac I will left my impressions here. This thread is very interesting I don't know why only there are 4 pages...

Buy zuperdac and dragonfly and compare two, with daps like fiio x3 you often pay for redundancies like lcd processor, software and then dac and amp. with dac you just pay for dac and amp. software is clunky on daps too, no soundcloud, no apps etc. some daps have android on it like sony daps but thats like buying ipod touch with a better dac, rather dinosaur technology buy buy what you like
dr red is better than zuperdac but at 200 euro its not a cheap dac
Hello all:
First post by a long term lurker here.
Have been watching almost monthly it seems new names from China come out with DAC products. Some with good designs, some bad and some pop up as just rebadges. Saw the reviews on the ZuperDAC and it seems o hit a sweet spot for me - great affordable portable sound. Don't know the company, but the price at $50 IIRC is "gamble worthy".
So here's my question: Where are you all buying the ZuperDAC from? I went to the Zorloo website and it's not available from there, Amazon, NewEgg, the Indiegogo sponsor site. Microcentre in the US tells me they liquidated their stock....
Is the ZuperDAC a dead duck? Or is it just a case of "wait till the next production batch"?
Can anyone direct me to where I might be able to snag one?
Cheers in advance,
Rich

some update on zuperdac and dfr dac
zupperdac is 80 euro new including postage on zuperdac site
audioquest dragonfly red dac is 210 euro with postage new on amazon
been comparing two sacs with three iems I am using
ted baker Dover 31 euro on amazon with postage bought in tkmax for 35 euro
hz ep001 iems 25 euro on lendmeurears with postage
and custom iems I made with flare dynamics with cost 50 euro
now to audio quality, dfr is actually way cleaner than zuperdac but it is not as clean as fiio x7 dap, that dap is much better at detail and dynamic but beside that
zuperdac is less clean but it has nice sound type that pairs well with ted baker iem. ted baker Dover sounds cleaner with dfr but I like it with zuperdac it pairs better with zuperdac even though detail is less.
hz ep001 is similarly from both dacs but cleaner with dfr
and custom flare iem sounds better cleaner with dfr, with zuperdac it also sounds nice but less dynamic.
I actually will keep both dacs because zuperdac pairs better with ted baker dover iem and I like those, and dfr pairs better with custom flare iems with occ cable with silver and sounds way better because dfr is much more dynamic.
I rarely listen to iphone dac anymore, zuperdac and dfr are just better than iphone
ye, two issues for my use,
1. I don't have any be iems, and ones ba I had were hybrid and probably are made to work with dd amp dac
2. I prefer more bass and more ohm means more bass and less ohm means less bass
and three dfr is ear fatiguing because of more high frequency.
so for me 4 ohms on zuperdac is what I like, if you have ba iems don't complain you know what ohm amp dac you need, it's nothing to do with dac itself, more ohm means more bass on dd iems
NOTICES: We have temporary run out of ZuperDAC inventory and are arranging production now. We hope to get ZuperDAC ready by md to end September. In the mean time, we have some refurbish units available, please leave a message to us if you are interested.
