Miracle & Mystic Brothers

Mystic XP1 closely follows the design of the ONIX Miracle, adopting elements of the classical ONIX look for this new generation of devices. Exquisitely crafted by CNC machines from high-grade aluminium, for ideal unibody construction that’s strong and beautiful, especially when paired with gold-plated volume wheel and vintage dot-matrix OLED display.

High-End Audio Configuration

Based around a pair of flagship AKM AK4499EX DACs, combined with their matching AK4191 modulator, for the ultimate resolution and natural tuning. The fully balanced headphone amplifier utilizes TPA6120A2 and it was optimized for use with full-size headphones. And with additional Muses8920 circuit for the balanced line-out/pre-amp function. All enhanced by the in-house “Brighton” I/V Conversion stage.

​

Lossless MicroSD Playback

While other portable DACs fully rely on smartphones or computers to feed them data, Mystic XP1 features a MicroSD card slot, allowing for a fully lossless playback of all your files. Play directly on the XP1 or connect it to Eddict Player Android/iOS app for easy browsing of even the biggest music libraries.

Digital Connectivity

Connect Mystic XP1 to your smartphones or computers over its high-performance XMOS XU316 USB input or opt for the convenience of Wireless connection over Bluetooth 5.0, with support of LDAC, aptX HD and AAC. And for your traditional Hi-Fi devices, XP1 offers a combined SPDIF Coaxial/Optical Input.

​

Optional External Power Supply

At your home, office, or anywhere else where the conditions allow, connect the Mystic XP1 to its external power supply for a significant boost to its power output. Offering up to 2360 mW @ 32Ω // 480 mW @ 300Ω, matching power outputs of many desktop amplifiers, turning XP1 into a serious partner for even the most demanding full-size audiophile headphones.

This looks interesting. Would welcome a comparison with the Hugo 2 in the background.

Initial impressions please?

 

[Gnofnaik]

My first impression on Mystic XP1 is the wide soundstage, the bold and warm musical signature. It is different from any portable devices I’ve been listening to.

Mystic has superb soundstage and great instrument separation, vocal is warm and smooth. Drums and percussions are bold and punchy. Guitar is lack of the metallic pitch, but I like it. Sorry I’m not a reviewer, I don’t know how to categorize these music sounds as low, bass, mid or trebles etc, ha! I really feel it push my IEM (Elysian Gaea, Project Zero, IE800, Tangzu Waner, Shimin Li and Campfire Solaris etc) to their limits. I also tried the HD6XX, it sounds great too. But I’m not a headphone guy. I really enjoy the music with this dac/amp.

I also tried to listen to music from the micro SD card using the Shanling app. It works fine and sound great. Didn’t try the Bluetooth yet, I’m not interested of this function on this device. I own an Ifi Go Pod, I’m very happy with that.

As compared to Hugo2. It is transparent, relax and analytics compare to Mystic XP1. I never realize the “ss” “SH” in vocal (in Hugo2) can be a bit annoying after listening to Mystic for a few hours (hope it make sense). Both have different sound signature, but feature wise Mystic is a beast with all the gadgets and gimmicks that I’ve been looking for. Some may thing it is an upgrade from H7. I’m not sure as I haven’t tried.

Before I tried the Mystic, I was listening to Enleum HPA-23RM with Hiby RS2. Then someone (I think is the sales guy) pass me this device, I’m impressed by how good it sounds at first impression. This is much cheaper than the Enleum, so I ordered one. Not saying it sound better or on par with Enleum, that would need more listening and comparison.

Excited for its review!!

 

[jazzzy]

headphone amp without balanced 4.4 input ???

 

[deep2285]

headphone amp without balanced 4.4 input ???

I think because they are not considering it to be used just as an amp but more as a portable DAC + AMP.

 

[Gnofnaik]

Did you get the optional power supply?

No. But i plan to get one

I am surprised to see someone else mentioning the “Ss” and “Sshh” from Chord here. It is a thing among all Chord, even the Dave.

Glad to see the Mystic is a better option here. Is there any news regarding the PSU

 

[Loftprojection]

Wow, very very nice indeed, bravo Shanling. I'm just sad they didn't implement it with an R2R DAC but hey, one day one of those nice manufacturers will make the jump into transportable battery R2R DAC.

Ordered one after the testing. Received the package this morning.

Where can this be purchased?

Where can this be purchased?

Not sure for international shipping. I bought from a distributor in Shanghai.
