In case anybody is eying (or earing rather) a Bellos X4, apparently there's a decent sale going on?

Quick Update, for those thinking on buying:
This is an Android phone for mainland China as such:
A) You cannot use Google Playstore, you have to install Aurora Store or Amazon App Store.
B) Uninstall bloatware , typical for Chinese ROMs
C) Replace UC Browser, with something else like Vivaldi , Firefox or another browser that is allowed in China
D) Once that is done you can install all your preferred apps
E) In order to use Gmail install a different email app like Outlook and use that for your Gmail account
F) Hiby Music is preinstalled and you will find all settings to manage music files,etc.
G) The android settings are all very standard and nothing specific for music output.
Will test tomorrow as a phone first to check bands,etc. After that will check music .
Don't have a way to measure output on 4.4 as I don't have the tools for that.
Device is pretty light and it feels like a modified One Plus or something like that.
The price point is very hood if you get a Monnriver 2 plus phone in the same chassis.Hmm, that seems like a lot of hoops to jump through. HiFiGo's Yumu Song posted on FB that its sound quality is roughly equivalent to Moondrop's Moon River 2.
Given that, I can't help thinking that it's just not worth the hassle.![]()

Still have my original moonrise.
For those who import phones like Oppo, Vivo or Xiaomi into the USA, they will be able to perform adjustments quickly.
2024 highlights...ie., flex.

I've heard that, in China, they have their own audiophile lexicon - and that it can be indecipherable.
