Got the Meizu HiFi dac recently,
I like the sound of the Meizu better than the sound of my Fiio m5 for use with the bl-03:

Also got the DC01 dac today and this is way more my taste is sound! Little warmer but the seperation and sound stage really improves on the bl-03 with the dc01 and balanced cable.

Think I won't use the Meizu with the bl-03 ever again and I think I won't use it again with any iem, bit not sure on that yet.

(Meizu stotters in UAPP on my phone 1+7pro, dc01 does not)
From what I read in the forum and other review sites, the Meizu DAC "Pro" version fixes the stuttering and you don't need to force the 48KHz re-sampling. You got the non-Pro Meizu DAC, and that one have stuttering/pops/clicks when playing. The Pro version seems to fix this exact problem. I ordered the Meizu Pro but haven't received it yet (I'm in Brazil). Will post results in this thread then...

The meizu non pro Play's flac files fine from the fio app, and the Google play music app, only uapp and connected to my m5 seems to be an isseu.

So I let it be ;) and use the dc01 with a big smile

Now I finally understand why people praise the T2
Look, you've just granted another life to my Tin Audio T2 (whatever T2 is with you). I did not like the SQ and put T2 far aside about 6 months ago. The SQ now is absolutely different to the good side even compared with Cayin N6. The bass is like a cannon on Ztella now and massages my eardrums. The highs and the mids are decent. The soundstage is quite good. I am loving my T2 now! Thanks a lot. I would've given you 5 likes if I could.

Glad you found new life for them too. That's the beauty of a forum like this we all try stuff and share our findings.

I'm now wondering about the Ztella, try to tell my self I don't need it.

Unfortunately, Ztella MQA version is out stock now. Looks like it's gaining the popularity. I sent an email message to their techsup about the availability. Hope they will respond soon. I also ask the kickstarter guy if he is going to arrange another pledge. A lot of my friends/acquaintances are asking about Ztella MQA version. As soon as I have any info I'll share it here.
That's what I've got from them today (they responded the same day which is a good sign)
" Hi Alex,
We are really sorry that we have used up all our first production batch. We are producing our second batch and will be ready by around Jan-10. We will email you once it is replenished."
I did not realise I got Ztella from the first portion/batch. Kinda flattering, huh?:blush:
