I have ordered these diy k3003, they look nice, expensive, but I figure the balanced armature's are not cheap. And there are 4 in total.

I'm looking forward to trying them out.

4 in total? I thought that this are hybrids, 2BA + 1D?

2x BA on the left + 2x BA on the right = 4 in total, plus one dynamic driver per side.

Ach, that's right.

Has anyone here tried Meizu M1 note? It has cleaner more detailed and articulate sound when paired with Topping Nx1 and Re0. Absolutely loving what I hear more than what Ap100 offers. You may think Ap100 is detailed until you hear M1 Note + Topping Nx1 + Re0 combo.

Pretty barebone, but it somehow sounds cleaner than other players I've tried.

I have meizu m2, same IC's, minor facelift. I do not like sound though, clearly xiaomi mi4 is better. possibly meizu mx4 pro is a better alternative.

Yes M2 is nowhere near M1. You can check with gsmarena to see the audio output of these two phones. What I hear is a flawless and brilliant sound out of my M1 Note.

I am also surprised it hasn't caught on with the other side of the world, but with most western people programmed into following some sort of hype I can see how it doesn't happen.

I can thank @1clearhead for helping pull the trigger, now for the extremely long waiting as my parcel takes the long boat from China. Probably 4 weeks, I should have asked for e parcel delivery.

We'll celebrate in spirit, unless you're in China we'll celebrate with cheers!

Technically yes! You can say each BA has 2 separate chambers that provide the midrange and the treble in one unit, and your separate dynamics on each side.

Oh well, there is a reason to change a phone then

Ok, the last couple of posts has got me interested in the Meizu phones.

After doing some research it seem as none of their offerings are good enough for me since I need SD card slot. I'm really disappointed that the M4Pro doesn't support this.

Does anyone have other suggestions for phones likely to be on par or better than the Xperia Z3c in audio quality (I'm especially fed up with the low power output on yhe Z3c) and work with 4G/LTE in USA and Europe?

^ I had that gripe too but you're in luck since their latest greatest phone actually has an SD slot that even support 128GB card, coupled with having the ESS9018K2M and OPA1612, it's one of the best specced phone to date yet. It's even reasonably priced.

Thanks, excellent and exactly what I'm looking for!

Seems as if it's not even released yet so I need to be patient but it sure seems worth waiting for.

Meizu is worth buying.

I am in Australia, but next time I'm in China let's grab a beer .

Considering the price for the BA are around $60 to buy sperate, their overall cost is reasonable.
Maybe the current marketing needs a new touch. And new naming/labeling, just saying.
But I'll come back and report my findings after burn in.

Meizu offers usb otg feature so you can expand the memory. It adds some bulkiness to your phone but it can be worth if you are worried about the internal memory.

Thanks for the information but sd card slot in 2015 is not negotiable to me

The Pro5 seen to be a very solid offering though.

To bad the Norwegian currency is so weak but hopefully prices will fall some when availability gets better.
