Is there any thread for pocket friendly Chinese amps?

How about checking out Fiio A5 (Link: Review posted (Link: https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/t...uses02-lme49600-800mw-19vp-p-12-hours.819831/ )

You might not believe it, but a HiFiMAN Megamini is one awesome DAP that does an awesome job!

If you need an amp that is small, I would probably recommend FiiO A5

I second the A5. It's got loads of power, great build quality, excellent sound thanks to the superb MUSES02 opamp, and better specs than the E12 (which is also a great amp).

I went crazy and took the gamble.
I just ordered a Shanling M1 from JoyBuy.com (a.k.a. JD.com).
A black one for US$95 incl. shipping.
Now keep my fingers crossed.
The price is too good to be true but JB is AliExpress biggest competitor.

Gives me joy to know that!

Has anyone seen a sort of Chinese desktop player, that has a very good line out and preferably is DSD capable, or a DAP with a serious line out.

You can compare it to the Ruizu A 50.

With the great new reviews today of the Ruizu A50, I think they will sell quickly.

Does anyone know where to check for the latest firmware? Mine is V1.101.10 June 28,2017. Is that the latest?

I believe that is the most current version. Hopefully there will be a new one soon to fix a couple of minor issues.

If I get it (I say if because at this price: if something looks to good to be true...) I will surely do that.
From what I have seen in several reviews the Shanling is better and looks even better but costs more too. We'll see.

My husband has the Shanling but I have not played with it. I do not enjoy trying to make critical comparisons .I will leave that to you guys. I am more than happy with my Ruizu A50...small player for in my pocket. That was all I wanted and it has exceeded my expectations. i do also have my Opus #1 that I use with my home listening area and I have a rockboxed xDuoo x3 which seems to now be my backup player. All set for a long long time. Now if I would stop reading about headphones...
