Anyone know how the vivo X-Play 5 elite will perform on T-Mobile in the US? This seems like a phone to get. Don't want to sacrifice the phone function on an already crippled phone service in my area, lol.

I have 2 phone of letv max x900. One is used as usual phone. another I use as DAP (airplane mode).

surely cuz I cannot find usual dap in the price range that can really blow my mind.

well my ear might be badass - not able to find dap better than phone from this price range.

this is mini impression

Well you got me. I just hope i dont feel it as a downgrade from galaxy s1 with voodoo sound kernel + v4a.
Got any advice where to order from if im in EU perhaps?

Well, then you're one of the precious Golden Ear population, who can distinguish 320 MP3 and lossless. Congrat.

It's my current phone. Not support Hi-Res output. It could play Hi-Res file but down sampling to 16bit 44.1kHz

Going offtopic here, but is there a similar thread about Chinese ear/headphones? I am looking to buy a pair of in-ears and on-ears (already have over-ears). Only tried HiFi man in the past - was not impressed. I want something with more warmth/life... And something that can go nicely with a Meizu Pro 5, because it looks like I will choose that phone in the end

Oh yes, there is and it's a long reading

Why just stick with chinese iem, oe. I mean there are plenty of choices all around the world. Just curious

Because for about 10usd (or less) you can get great stuff.

I try kz zs3. It is nah for me with stock cable. I'm thinking ve monk plus is the best for budget. <10 usd

Actually i think visang and kinera is good for 30 usd.
For 40-60 usd, i think ttpod t1e and ostry kc06 is great.
but for 10-20 us iem cannot find good one.
