Sorry about your issues.
If you got it from House of DAP, I can vouch for them (but just barely!).
MP4Nation ... singularly the worst merchant I've ever dealt with. BOTH my S:flo2's -- sent in for in-warranty service -- disappeared.
BTW: I got a Colorfly CK4 from China and it has been my main player for months. So the HOD Teclast T-51 I have may very well be unreliable in the
long run. But I no longer use it as the CK4 is superior.
On ordering from China ... cheap prices and (usually) fast/prompt delivery ... but after the sale ... you're pretty much left for the wolves ... both with product manufs and online merchants. E.g., taobaofocus.com (where I/others buy DAPs, like CK4) ... horrible service during sale. Many say I got lucky in getting a DAP from them that worked at all. And Colorfly,
the company itself, has a reputation for bad cust. service incl. NOT honoring warranty.
Better to order from Dimitri at

Also, QLS HiFi has excellent customer service, before/after sale, and great-sounding products that are built like Panzer tanks. I have a QLS- QA350. Too bad, it's big/clunky and only plays WAVs.
EDIT:
Just saw frenchbat's post:
