As a retired System/Electrical Engineer, I take offense of your statement that the power cable makes a very significant performance gain.Since no one has mentioned it, I highly recommend playing offline tracks via Tidal and turning off wifi and set tidal to offline mode for a very significant upgrade in SQ and is the best SQ in my tests.
I'm enjoying how much sonic gains is to be had on DC power. Using an ifi elite + line conditioner and a Ifi nova power cable / DIY silver power cable and the silver power cable makes a very significant performance gain.

I'm offended I need a silver power.cable to make these stuff sing indeed. It is only with the silver power cable that the Susvara, Utopia, and Atrium sounds like their MSRP value.As a retired System/Electrical Engineer, I take offense of your statement that the power cable makes a very significant performance gain.

When it comes to support FiiO is hands down best. I had not so pleasant experience with Xduoo support.
This isn't a DAP, it should compared to portable devices like the iFi Diablo, upcoming FiiO Q7 etc.

(2) Get a 100 USD coupon before placing an order;
(3) Promo time: Starts on Sept. 11th; the end time depends on the actual situation.

As I had recently a bad experience with a poor 3€ item bought on aliexpress which showed that it is not really secured for the users with unreceived items .. I won't order in Europe other than amazon now (I just closed my aliexpress account because of this after a few years using it)..Wish you had an italian/european amazon store too!
