You're right.I don't have a good feeling either.Someone mentioned that he asked a seller and he said it has the same chipset with Benjie S5.Reliable? who knows..
Plus not mentioning the full specs of their products makes things even more complex.
Anyway, that's their official webpage: http://www.mrobo.com.cn
I'll try to contact them later and ask for more info about the C5.I don't think it will get me anywhere but i'll give it a try.
Of course an opinion of someone from here would be the best way to judge it!

I like how the specifications tab just shows a picture of the button functions

Even if it were using the same chip, similar SQ would not be guaranteed. Although if it were really a S5 with better UI and scroll wheel it would easily be the king of budget DAPs at $39

I wrote to them on their official site, but they have not answered. Maybe someone better luck.
 
In particular, I asked them about the line-out (above I wrote about it). In the official specifications specified line-out, but it does not present on real photographs (more precisely, icon of the "line-out" is more like a microphone symbol - as "Microphone-In").
 
And unfortunately it is only 32 ohm (ie no amplifier).
 
But design is gorgeous! (However, the wheel is located on the right side, it's not very convenient right-handed).

Although i have absolutely no experience with them, Xduoo X2 for example is close to that price range so it will have some competition to say the least.Still, we can't say for sure until someone gets a hand on them and write a review

  That only has LO and PO while Zhisan has an extra coax out.......Perhaps Zhisan wil be more future proof? As you can CO it to  a better amp/dac
 
Let me know what you think.

 
thanks for the warning, i'm not planning to use them with an amp/dac..
my only concern about zishan is qc issues lastly reported while i was leaning to him..

Just gotten my Benjie S5, and boy i must say the speed transfer is really slow. Will be getting the MicroSD card tmr,
 
Can i check what class of SDHC and SDXC card does it support? And what is the optimal size should i have in the player and card itself to ensure smooth operation?
 
Thanks in advance!
