Thanks buddy @mailer
I am assuming you are trying on AliExpress.
Seller must be AK audio or **** earphones store.
You have to order it, but you must not finish paying for it.
Then it will be in your orders list as unpaid.
Then contact seller about discount you saw on facebook.
Wait a day for his answer and message about lowering the price, then finish the payment of unpaid order in reduced price and profit.

I also saw that discount is limited so hurry.

Yes, the AK 4490 DAC itself is capable of decoding a DSD stream (and, as far as I read, it does it natively, i.e. without an internal DSD->PCM conversion, contrary to ESS 9018/9018 K2M), as all the modern DAC chips are but the implementation in the X10 does not provide for feeding a "pure" DSD stream from the DAP CPU  to AK 4490. However, it is not a big deal, IMHO. I guess overall SQ and usability are much more important. It would be interesting to see/hear how this inexpensive DAP competes with Shanling M5 and even L&P L5 Pro more costly DAPs using the same DAC (implemented differently, of course:)  


This is probably a dumb question but is "supporting" DSD and "decoding" DSD 2 different things? Their website shows DSD support for this player.

What do you guys think of X10 vs Zishan DSD?

Seeing as they both use the same chip (perhaps differently implemented), I think the Zhisan maybe the DAP to have better CPR?

But I maybe biased as I am planning to buy this Zhisan:

But I have no doubt the X10 will be a terrific player as I am an X3 user myself, just hopefully, the X10 won't require RB to work properly.

I got a shipping notice from Aliexpress on the 21st but when I spoke to the seller yesterday he admitted that he still hadn't received them hinself.
So I wouldn't expect them for a while longer!

I think the official release date was the 30th of November so you'll probably get it soon.
very soon :wink:

Mostly positive feedbacks as I have seen.  Only negative was about a driver installation issue which is mostly a technical skill issue from the customer side.
