In the interim and until something comes up I bought a xuelin 770 and not bad sound at all with my earsonics sm64 it pairs very good. Still want to try the alien
It is a great alternative to the likes of the dx90 x5 and ak100. There are a few reviews for it now, its worth consideration if you are looking around that range
Is Hum dap the same like having Samsung S4 with UAPP?
I got my Alien today. I think it was the last one that Penon Audio had in stock. I was a bit surprised to see it so soon, only five days after I ordered it. That's pretty good from Hong Kong to central Canada.
I'm not sure what I can about it that hasn't already been said many times in the127 pages of this thread, but I will say the praise is deserved. The sound out of this little guy really is good. I've been listening to it through my Grado RS2s because I don't currently have any IEMs that do it justice. Now I'm going to have to go back and read this thread all over again to decide what to get to pair with the Alien.
Better late than never hey?
Alien does have a tendency to be addictive, or if you get bored you can just stare at it for hours.
Also, just because Alien has halted production we (the fans) won't abandon the thread.
I'm quite persistent to reach page 500 (at least)

We'll do what we can.
I've ordered some Etymotic ER-4s to go with my new Alien. Due to working at home, I haven't done a lot of portable listening lately, so the 'best' IEMs I had on hand were Shure 315s. The Alien really revealed just how crappy they were. Using them with a Rockboxed Sansa Clip, I had managed to EQ them enough that they were tolerable to use long enough to shovel the driveway in the winter or cut the grass in the summer, but that's about as long as I could stand them. After listening to the Alien through my RS2s and then going back to the Shures, the shortcomings of the 315s were too much to take. Hopefully the Etys will do the Alien justice.
ER4S is a good choice and pairing for Alien. theres not much between an ER4S / Pono player or Alien.
I actually own the Ety and think its quite capable, even at the 100ohm rating Alien does them justice.
