Or I found new Products are being sold in Aliexpress

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003142795469.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.6e8e4968evBAax&algo_pvid=2d3817f3-4a2d-477e-bbb5-69a02a6237fd&algo_exp_id=2d3817f3-4a2d-477e-bbb5-69a02a6237fd-4&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id":"12000024324731422"}

But they are selling quite higher than original retail price. New Products are

Reliable and secure shipping adds about $60.00 then import fees and handling fees on top. Plus… their feedback isn’t looking that great either.

My 300Max Ti has arrived in Philadelphia but is not scheduled to be delivered until Thursday. I am about 20 miles away from Philadelphia.

I bet you’re climbing the walls! Could you visit with ID to collect? Saves them time and mileage as well.

I bought mine in here https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/...o-smsl-topping-i2269596362-s10238558248.html?

Looks like they still have stock

My Ti has landed in Taiwan. Scheduled delivery is tomorrow but I guess it’s gotta clear customs first, can’t wait.

Nice find and recommendation. This is one for you mfgillia.

I am hoping that they will deliver it tomorrow. Unfortunately due to work I am not able to go into Philly to collect it.

No worries. Looks like you may be the first to receive the Ti….

Not at all. SD card vs sound quality is not exclusive to 3Max. Any device using SD card.

On another subject, since the 3MAX included coax cable is too short for my use, I tried a 4-pole 3.5mm-to-coax cable I had and it doesn't work with 3MAX. I think a 2-pole 3.5mm coax cable is necessary. Anyone try?

In theory, 3/4 pole cables are only used in daps where spdif coax 3.5mm output is shared with headphone. iBasso uses dedicated spdif coax output port, so 2pole has a better compatibility.

Regarding microSD discussion, while some explanations might not be as convincing (just my personal opinion), there have been many instances in my audio gear review journey where it made no sense, yet I heard the difference and I'm a believer. Don't use any removable flash storage since I mostly stream hi res and have a dozen of low capacity micro SD cards with test songs library, used for dap testing only. And also, I'm not an expert when it comes to this subject. But typically with a digital signal the source of errors comes from timing that results in jitter due to skewed clock/data edges. Now, that would relate to micro controller on the card and DAP's SoC accessing it. So, perhaps, different brand name cards use different internal micro controllers and that will contribute to the difference?

Probably going to be shipped to you today. My experiences is that anything arrives at local region by DHL before 10Am has a big chance of going out that same day

Yes, and also the system hardware being implemented on it. There are tolerances, and the higher precision they are, the better it gets. Most importantly would be the algorithms for sure

Oh yeah, and that too, the quality of the components!!! Even within the same brand, the component grade will make a difference, such as tighter tolerance, wider operation temperature (industrial vs commercial rating), max number of read/write cycles, tighter screening process during manufacturing, etc.

good gosh, way to raise the anticipation!! and ruin his day if it doesn't arrive lmao

好像還有貨

Hehe, I buy my wp900 here Great Wall digital. All items come from China

3 poles should work, and I have one that I don’t use. Want to help me scoop it up ?

Thanks but I’m making a pig tail for it so I don’t have to reach back and reconnect when I swap. That looks like a very nice cable though!

Yeah, I used it to test the coax out on DX200Ti/220 to my Desk DAC previously
