how diferent sound warm/neutral,brighter utws5 vs ifi go pod?
From my memory since I didn't use the utws lately (since I got the pod) fiio is warmer maybe less brighter with good detail and way less driving power.
On the other hand the pod has better detail, way better stage, and enough driving power for my ie900.
Fiio is good for BA IEMs not for DD imo.

yes. same sounding,understand.but utws5 more comfortable. thanks:L3000:
LOL, what? You don't make much sense, sorry.

Understand this: to get a concrete, serious, answer to your question, IF you are serious about it, you need to list your IEM(s), your sources and the type of music (genres) you are mostly listening to. And even then, all you will get is the subjective opinion of ours, which will greatly depend not only from all the aforementioned but even from our mood on any random day.

Finally, wanna really feel the GO Pod? Buy/Get one and try it, yourself for a week or two.

There's also a nice tool called Google Translate, if you're struggling with English.

Good Luck

Since I didn't hear either that IEM or those DAPs I can't really tell you. :)
To sum it up the go pod is more sophisticated product than the utws which comes with a higher price tag obviously . The SQ is comparable at least or even better than the ifi go blue, however I am deadly sure that the pod cannot compete with a wired IEM connected to mid high lvl dap like M7.

@Mr BubbaHyde any update regarding the case size? Like the depth so that we will have an idea which IEMs can fit in?

Checked my email this morning and saw that iFi had updated my open customer service ticket informing me that my replacement Go Pod has been shipped. That’s very fast service given the one I sent back to iFi arrived at their facility on July 3rd, and today is July 7th.

Thank you so much iFi for such a quick turnaround with testing the Go Pod I sent back and getting a replacement shipped out!
Glad you got it all sorted out!

Hopefully all will work out this time, Thanks for your patience.

Cheers!!

At the moment I do not, I would assume it would be Monday at the earliest.

Cheers!!

My ultimate question to you is, are you happy with the sound of the UTWS5 + Meze Rai Penta?

Is there any way we'll be able to set the go pod to start with the codec we want? Mine always start with LDAC and I want to use Aptx more. Everyone these connect I have to switch it. Not a good system but should be a simple feature to implement
