It's here! Pic has hiby r6 on the right.

Initial impressions... Having a hard time with it. It's comparable to my hiby r6 in some ways. The r6 is all around better from a device standpoint (screen, ui, responsiveness). I don't really care much about that though...

The sound is pretty warm. I'm hoping the fact that it was frozen (literally) has a lot to do with the sound as I'm getting some distortion in places where I really shouldn't. I've only had it for about an hour.

Otherwise there may be a m5s for sale in the classifieds soon. Going to let it burn in for a bit before coming back to it. But it's not as resolving as I'm used to thus far. Crossing my fingers for improvement overnight....

Ok, take my strength man \:triportsad:/ let's hope it's not that bad cause this is supposed to be my first "real" source.

Nah, I'm not saying it was bad. Just not an upgrade as I was hoping for from the hiby r6, which really was probably an unreasonable ask given the hiby goes for 100 more.

I'm guessing it's somewhat similar to the dx150 or other akm 4490 variants.

It's still a clear step up from my Cayin n3, it just feels a little rough around the edges compared to some offerings, and so far, the detail retrieval was a bit disappointing in terms of the 4493 being an upgrade from the 4490. Hoping it burns in over night and was just cold and such from being on the mail truck.

To be fair, my expectations were unreasonable ...

Black. No screen protector or case of any sort is included. Very nice construction. I really wish a silicon case was included given the materials and build quality.

It'll live on my nonslip zune pad for the time being. There's a sentence you don't hear much...

What do you mean by responsiveness?
