Would rather be interested in tour....but i'm afraid shipping cost wil be too high from Canada if I have to ship to another country....like 40$ or something...

My gear and 1/5 of my reviews are on my profile.

Right now I have the Hifiman RE2000 and Campfire Polaris but its a loan.

I reviews lot of DAP, i'm obsess about them as I don't use phone for music....right now have in hand the Faudio FA1, Ibasso DX90,Xduoo X20, X10, X3, D3, X1....have own lot of others.

If next loaner is from Canada i'm In!

My about has all current reviews and will be updated with more as they come out.

List of current equipment includes:
Hifiman 901s > DHC Comp4 IC > Nakamura Corp Aclear Porta NXT-2AK Headphone Conditioner > Alo Audio Ref 8 balanced 2.5mm cable > Sony Z5

so a comparison can be done with your teams new DAP and my current source, effects of the headphone conditioner for more food for thought.

Additionally I also have the Monk+ and RE 600 balanced IEM and Hifiman 700 to compare to give different impressions/comparisons with.
If you need anything else be sure to let me know and I'll get back to you with that info.

Location Portland, Oregon

Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward to seeing if a android OS DAP can sway me from my current feelings about such DAPS.

Regards

Just to recap, we have 10 reviewers on-board so far, Switzerland x1, Germany x 1, Canada x 1, USA x 7

I hope we have more reviewers on-board as it is a bit difficult (and therefore expensive) to arrange the tour route effectively.

Please come and join us, the tour application will be closed by 11:59 of 28 Feb 2018, Pacific Time. so please act immediately if you are interested in checking out the Cayin N5ii DAP,
