What DAC does it have? I have been searching for a new dap (zx-1 / calyx m / cowon P1). Maybe i should just get the Arrow 5G, and get a compatible cheap android phone to go with it (not worried on the wifi/2g/3G distortion since i don't plan to use it as a phone at all).
 
I have Arrow 4G and like it quite a bit, what i want is a stand alone dap, or something to Drive arrow 4G. or just get the 5G, maybe i could trade in the 4G for 5G?

DAC is PCM2707. 
AD8397 Opamp in Output Stage.
Tube Boards is an 
audio board with the AD8620.
Punch Board is ab upgrade board that makes the bass boost much more heavy and punchier.

Anyone know if anything has been done to the slight channel imbalance issues at low volumes that at least some 3G's were suffering from? As the Arrow 3G is my favorite amp for EDM and bass heavy music I'm definitely getting the 5G Punchboard edition! Can't wait!

edit: NM! Found the info on headphonias website:

Digital Volume Control

A digital volume control with 65-steps and mute function has been implemented. Especially users of IEMs will like this new volume control as there is no imbalance between right/left channels on lower volumes as it appears on most analog potentiometers.

I have the 4T 3G, and 4G arrows. The 4G and 4T i think are virtually the same, but the T stands for treble boost which I don't typically use. In relation to the question above my post, I think the 4 series does improve the imbalance at low volumes, but on my FitEar A111's at really low volumes there is a slight imbalance, although it isn't notable with other IEMs or over the head models. Overall the Arrow is my go to portable amp still, I prefer it over other models in it's area such as the RX Mk2 and Pico slim. It also has the best fit/finish of the aforementioned models in my opinion.
