Price dropped to $38 on Amazon with free shipping. Better than waiting weeks from overseas. Worth the extra $2. I picked one up. Only one left in stock.

Too much interference using the nx1 on smartphone?

I wish I'd done that back when I ordered mine. Took forever to arrive from the ebay seller.

The new SMSL Sap-5 might be an upgrade over the Topping NX1.

It is basically the same amp chip, with an 850mah battery and a bass boost switch.
 
I might battle these two out soon, as the NX1 is my portable amp of choice right now.

Please, excuse me if its a silly question, I'm looking for my first portable amp.
Iit is possible to plug the NX1 via otg usb cable into an android smartphone?
If so, I believe it would make a straight convention from raw audio to digital right?

No, for this you need DAC, NX1 is amp and you need to plug it into headphone out or line out (if your device is equipped with one).

I think that nx1 is only an amp and you will use the 3.5 jacket analogic, the audio cable from your smarphone, the nx1 doesn't make the conversion...
To get the audio from usb to this amp you will need a DAC (digital analogic converter) or get another amp that have dac inside...
I dont know if i'm right in all of this, but i'm talking about what i heard... ( brazilians talking in english with each other is funny lol)

How do you know it uses the same amp chip as the NX1? Topping stated that they will not provided the details for the opamp used for piracy reasons and it is definitely not the OPA1611 that has been plastered all over the internet because it's a single channel amp and the chip in the NX1 is a 16 pin IC, not 8 pin.
 

 
Not same chip

Doesn't the NX1 use the maxx amp? Same power as well.

I wasn't going to say anything until I tested this, but I already have one coming.

I've created a thread for SAP-5 so we can keep this one to NX1 conversation, as NX1 really deserves full attention and currently the highest performing for its price point.
