The microdetails on this player is still slightly lacking compared to the top dogs from Ibasso, AK, Hifiman and Calyx.
But the price and battery life of the player make up for it.

depends on how much time you have with it, i had similar impression "it sounds just like my A17 i am so underwhelmed, I wanna return it!!!" but let burn-in magic do its Expecto Patronum and it's a charm right now

Some of my ex players didnt even have such long of a burn in time too.

24 hrs in a day, thats like 12 days of non stop listening.

Gotten my set since early October. Thanks to the long battery life, able to burn in for 3 days after each charge.
Unlik Calyx M with only 4-5 hours of battery life. I think it only clock about 200 plus hours.

the 128gb internal not enough for you?

 

[BartSimpson1976]

128GB is not very much.
I have the A17 and the 64GB internal is just ok to have my essentials stored on the player.
For a selection of the rest which I change from time to time I use a 128GB card.
 
DAPs nowadays should have 1TB internal...

Nope

 , wish there was the 1.0TB microSD to carry all my tunes

i also collect plenty of albums before, but i find my self just skipping some tracks, so i listen again
to the albums and just choose the one i like, end up saving plenty of space on my laptop. i only keep 16/44 flacs and some MP3s

In this sony classical album i got a cool conclusions masterings are different... sony classical (re)master of allegro from concerto for two violins in D minor, is brighter than the original by CBS Masterworks which i have the complete album dont remmeber the date of CBS one but this one is from 1994
 
EDIT:
 
CBS Masterworks (Original): 1990 -  Full work BWV 1043 and also BWV 1060
Sony Classical Greatest Hits Bach REMASTER: 1994 only allegro from BWV 1043
 
CBS sounds Darker and bassier than the sony remaster
