I take the Gold one.
Gold plated copper, not the hybrid. Sound description ticks all my boxes. Snake oil? Yes maybe, but I am cooking with snake oil, and it tastes great. No no, I noticed difference myself with interconnect.

I have same like that for the front side but from top side is still flat. It's more noticeable when light turn on. :sweat_smile:
Mine still new, so I'm not sure condition after long usage. But i don't mind slight cosmetic for now.
My knob slightly is on the right side, but perfectly flat otherwise. I think Romi put the knob a bit on right center because they had to do it like this. Mandatory in the design. Moreover, moving the knob is very smooth and gives a solid feel. Nothing to worry about, I guess.



My knob is also to the right (so to speak...), but what really grinds my OCD gears is the typo on "Input." They had the same typos on non-Plus. Not a big deal, but just looks a bit odd. The typo is even replicated on the box, so I guess they didn't realise that's not how "Input" is spelt.

Its quite comforting to know that its quite normal to have this slight cosmetic issue. Romi Audio on the other hand quickly replied last night and asked me to ship the item to UK although my thoughts are battling if I really should send this. I think I can make do with the plug problem. Just a slight pull from the plug sorts out the missing left channel sound anyway.

Also my knob of the BX-1 leans a bit on the right side. So it seems to be „normal“ :wink:

I've been listening to the BX2 Plus with the humble Lotoo S1 this morning driving the Audio-Technica WP900. Super nice combo. The BX2 Plus makes the S1 a formidable dac.

Anyone know if there is typically a sale for Chinese New Year on their site?

First time tonight that I try pairing BX2+ and DTR1. Ok, it might be the Oyaide interconnect and the Romi Zero cable with my CIEM, but the synergy is at its best. Better than with the Calyx M. Not by much, but it "moves" me. All is there and nothing's missing. I never had this "end-of-road" feeling so far. Breathtaking audio.

Since the Romi amp came in, I just spent 3 or 4 days with the Phatlab Chimera. I think *cough* that the BX2+ is the better amp overall. This natural sound, effortless amplification is a marvel. Cannot get enough of it.

She's a beaut. I can see the battery wires in the top right. Looks like two pin JST connector. I would imagine that it would be pretty easy to wire a new battery into this enclosure.

Thanks a lot for linking the photo!

Happen to see this picture on Taobao which shows the internal with the battery.
