Anybody wanna be the first? Looks pretty damn good, wonder how the dynamic $69 will sound. The seller says much nicer than 4in1.

For future references only! If portability and easy to use is important, why not buy a smartphone, then you only have to carry one device. There are several smartphones today with excellent SQ and many of them can compete with low/mid tier dacs. I assume all carry a smartphone.
My employer pays a portion of my cell phone bill as I am on call 7x24. As such they require an MDM product on the phone and the right to wipe the phone at any time. It's a condition of employment. Spo my phone has next to no apps on it and I use it as a phone/messaging/email device. As was previously stated what you use, what the value is and how much yo spend is very personal. I don;t spend much on my portable system because I just it every where and travel quite a bit so when I lose it running thru airports like OJ it's not a big deal or heart breaker

Sometimes you have to decide what you're happy with. For me I'm debating between the Lotoo Paw 5K & AK70, which is a $200 vs $600 Dap choice. Both offer balanced 2.5mm, line out, ability to be transport, ease of portability, bluetooth, etc... It's a rough call on trying to decide what I want to spend. I know the AK70 will be an upgrade to any Dap I have, where the Paw 5K might be a sidegrade to my Fiio X5 gen 1, but will be an upgrade to my HM700 for balanced play. If I go with the 5K, I can justify setting aside the money to try Audeze's iSine 10 in a couple months. If I get the AK70, it's basically an audible upgrade across the board vs the Daps I have, and can easily pair with my Mojo. It's an expensive hobby, but there's always something new around the corner if you wait long enough.
Sorry for a stupid question, it's always very confusing for me when I read that a person have a high end dap like AK70 which costs S600 and then he also need a good amplifier like mojo to give him enough power,
are these daps don't have enough capabilities to a run a iem/headphones properly, what that manufacturers provide against a huge $$$,??

It can most certainly run many IEMs/headphones without issue. The thing about the Mojo is it has an absolutely fantastic Dac with a decent amplifier as well. Really, for many people, the pairing of the two will accomplish a more detailed & neutral sound, and the AK70 alone will sound more fun. It's really that I already own the Mojo, so the ability to use it is a bonus.

Ahhh that is the actual problem, yet we never receive our parcels and something much nicer comes already.

To pull a line from gestalt, this is purely my opinion and based on SQ and return on investment I have now tried many systems and for $225 this rig right here
will hold it's own with rigs costing 5 times as much baring the same quality file is pushed through it
Of course you know what they say about opinions

Looking forward to the review. Thinking of buying TKH1 to satisfy the basshead within me.
On the other hand, it's been almost 2 weeks since I ordered 4in1 from HCK, tracking status is still "Electronic data received". I can wait for one more week. What should I do if it stays longer?
I can guarantee it will serve your needs. I say cancel there since as the other member said, Jim doesn't even have stock. Bring your business to another seller and grab the TKH1
