Excellent work @McCol !!! Thanks a ton!

Nice write up mate. Please update your impression when you try it with a pc

for pure SQ, how does Gryphon compare with Gold bar?

Nice review! I always like the idea of using a cheap android phone with a dac-amp with no batteries. Much less expensive but better performance than most daps.

This is based purely on my own opinion and I know others will disagree but form a musical perspective I prefer the Gold Go.
The Gryphon has more power and more features and is on paper the technically better option however to my ears I prefer the music reproduction on the Go, detailed yet with a warmth that is never bloated or fuzzy, nice spacious sound as well.
