Terrific idea and I'm sure it will do well. I'm waiting for sound impressions and if they can implement a PEQ into the app.

I'm an iSlave. Can anyone recommend a good starter Android device with Magsafe to optimize Tea's wireless connection?

When I get home tomorrow I will hook a Surface Duo to the one in my mailbox and report back

mine just arrived. music played. bluetooth paired. i'll test SQ this afternoon from apple devices, wired and wireless. i assume I'll like a portable tube amp like ALO Continental with it better than straight Tea.

Everything is working great. Except…
I tried to use Tea as a preamp into ALO Continental v5 pocket tube amp. That doesn’t work at all. No music. Just a whoomp whoomp whoomp sound. Impedance problem? Volume controls on each device control the whoomp volume.

Same, but gone mad last month! Got this coming for use with an iPhone 13 mini, a Hiby R5Gen2 and a Sony WM1AM2 .Looks good, waiting for mine to ship/show up.

Mine just showed up, decided I would first try it with my Celestee and the cable termination is a bit too thick and pushes some of the tea off of the phone. Good news is it powers the Celestee perfectly, volume is about 30% and is plenty loud. Plugged in Solaris 2020 and the background is black which is great.

@KHADAS - Any idea when we can expect the companion app? The QR code in the manual leads to a 404 page

I use either a short aux extender or my ifi iematch for chunky cables. Powers my HD600 to "ouch" volumes at about 75% - great stuff. The build quality is top notch and I like the button combinations they let you do - e.g. switching from volume control to track control

I received an update from Khadas this morning, app is expected around end of Q3

Been giving it a work out against a new Hiby R5. Got both this week.
Not for those with hiss-magnet IEM's like my SE846. Easily noticeable between tracks and slightly in tracks with quiet sections. Not an issue with my other IEM's I have, and SE846 are known for revealing any background noise.

Just received mine the other day and sadly, it's defective. Shows that it is in BT playback mode when not connected to any BT devices. DSD mode and MQA mode are non functional. Sent a message to Khadas support - let's see how long this takes...
