Anyone here order their NX4 DSD from Massdrop? I did, and I just received it today! Have some pics! MVIMG_20180417_191859.jpg MVIMG_20180417_191907.jpg

Call me crazy, but I don't think this looks right. Am I out of touch?

That is definitely not an NX4 DSD. Looks like someone at Massdrop messed up. It's an NX2s which has a different DAC chip (Texas Instruments PCM5101A).

Yeah, I know. I contacted Massdrop before I posted. I wanted the NX4 to hear the ESS9038 and to hear how it compared to the FiiO Q5. Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer! Oh well.

since i got both Topping NX4 DsD and fiio q5, my judgement on both them are: both are actually warm sounding, fiio q5 is warmer in the mid section while the nx4 dsd is also warm in the mids too, both have neutral sounding and natural.... there is abit(negligible) of roll- off in the bass section for nx4 dsd. Overall, both sounded almost similar except fiio q5 is abit more detail. Fiio q5 sounded almost the same as fiio x7mk2 but fiio x7mk2>fiio q5 Therefore, im gonna exchange my fiio q5 to IFI xDSD soon. what heard that IFI xDSD also share the same functionality as fiio q5 such the bluetooth fuction but with sound quality comparable to chord hugo 2... hopefully.

Haven't heard xDAD yet, but I'm subscribed to the thread. Other reviewers have added that the individual comparing the xDSD to the Hugo 2 was excessively reaching, but a Mojo comparison was certainly valid. Mojo considered a bit warmer, xDSD a little more detailed in the highs. xDSD supposed to be a great DAC/AMP though

Does the NX4 DSD support MQA and how does it compare to the more expensive Nano iDSD BL?
Topping NX4 DSD does not support MQA and Nano iDSD BL is better sounding but that was a brief listen to it dou but it come my deduction that Micro iDSD BL > Nano iDSD BL hence, NX4DSD < Nano iDSD
*Latest Update firmware 5.30 for Micro iDSD BL now have MQA capability.
