Not a at the moment but since it is 92x58x19.5mm and a credit card is 86x54mm, so the S6 is roughly 0.5cm longer and wider. More or less the same size as a credit card.

 
Damn that is small, thanks. Very tempted if the SQ is good.

Wait for a couple of fw iterations to see if quirks are ironed out. After that should be a great package.

I would really appreciate a SQ comparison with the Shozy Alien, as that's what this would replace. 

Sure! I plan on it.

Sure! I plan on it.

AFAIK, the Shozy is like a budget Tera Player with the same usability plus flac as a bonus. We shouldn't compare it to the S6.

We should compare everything to everything.  I hope S6 sounds like Grapefruit.
 
Shozy seems very highly rated SQ wise. I should get one probably... spend so much time listening to shuffle anyway

Headfiers tested the Shozy and compared it with daps over $1000, I won't say that we shouldn't compare it, but at least with something in the same category with same usability. I'm looking forward to buy the S6 but I need comparisons against daps in the same range to take the right decision. It will be useless comparing a lorry with a car

Yup, that's a good way to think of it. Still, it would be nice to see how the S6 stacks up against my other players SQ wise. I'll also be comparing it to the J3 and Aune M2, so as far as functionality is concerned, I'll make mention of all three.

Can give a quick or preliminary comparison between this S6 vs iBasso DX90 in term of Soundstage, separation and detail?

Need to decide which model to purchase.

It's like Lancia making cars again,you remember the experience but also the pain.

If it was like a 60s Fulvia I'd give my right arm for it

I have never heard the DX90.

Anymore SQ impressions and/or comparisons with your M2S?

 

[Mimouille]

Hey guys I will not be listening much the coming week because I will on vacation for Chinese New Year. I will not take the S6 with me because the UI is much too troublesome at this stage.

I recently bought an Xduoo X3 for my niece and I got the occasion to audition this little beast, it seems quite similar to the S6, but at only 25% of its retail price. Both daps seems to have the same screen level with nearly same UI and features. My question now ; is the S6's SQ 4x better to justify the price tag? I'm also chasing the Aune M2, Cayin N5 and Colorfly C10 which can be considered as direct competitors for the S6 at nearly half the price.

I had the opportunity to appreciate the Studio V, the SQ is really good with a tad brighter signature compared to Fiio and Colorfly devices. The amp blowed me away as this little thing is more powerful than my Fiio E11k, bassy iems like Sennheiser IE80 fitted the Studio V better than analytical iems such as ER4S or Shure SE846. As the dap is on the bright side, it can't be paired with a bright iem/headphones. I don't know if the story is different for the S6, I'm waiting for first full reviews.
