Well I wouldn't mind joining in. I'm in Shanghai so particularly if there's a way just to keep shipping within China that would good. I guess the review tour is mainly aimed at an international audience so no worries if the logistics don't work out.

I also have at my disposal to use while reviewing:
* Plenue S
* Chord MojoPoly
* Fiio M11 Pro
* iBasso DX80 (yeah still rocking the DX80 :wink:

)
* Arcam rHead amplifier

Headphones are B&W P7, P9 (probably be sold soon), Sennheiser Momentum 2 + a pair of Drop Panda's for me are currently going through customs clearance at Pudong airport.

I haven't written a full review for a while now that I think about it, been mainly commenting on threads these days, but previous reviews are here: https://www.head-fi.org/members/someyoungguy.448722/#showcase-reviews

My regular portable set-up is B&W P7s with Plenue S or M11 Pro.

Hey, I would be up for this tour. I am in Minneapolis, USA. I used to write reviews, mainly of electronics. The one I bet Andy remembers was of the i3 from a company named Cayin (I liked it). I would be using the LZ A7 and FLC 8D with the unit. I would test about 70% rock, 20% jazz, and 10% classical. Mostly hi res or SACD ISO.

Chimmy9278 · Nov 26, 2020

Hello Andy, I would want to try out this new portable tube DAP, though I have to apologize for not having any previous reviews posted here. Thanks for listing this and considering me. I will try my best to cover all the aspects of this DAP if I am accepted into the tour.

NY, USA
Westone UM50 pro 2nd gen )foam tips/silicone. KGST amp and Stax 007 (stock). Both devices balanced and SE ready.
Sadly this will be my first one.
iBasso DX220 Max, and Westones mentioned above.
These are my only ones for now, but will be comparing them against all of it, to give my honest opinion. With Classical, Acoustic, Jazz and vocals. Some DSD and some high-res flac.

Again, thanks for looking at my humble request.

Hello - I would like to join this tour if possible.

1. Location: USA/ Lynnwood, WA (Seattle area)
2. Hidition Viento & Unique Melody MEST and ZMF Verite headphones
3. http://www.AudioDiscourse.com is my main review site, and I have posted reviews on headfi as well
4. Lotoo PAW 6000, Cowon Plenue 2 MK2, Hiby R2
5. Hidition Viento CIEM, Unique Melody MEST CIEM, and a dozen other IEMs. Various headphones like ZMF Verite, Hifiman Arya, Audeze Sine, more....

wmischke · Nov 30, 2020 at 1:56 PM

1. Memphis, Tennessee, USA
2. -IEM: Fiio FH5, Moondrop Starfield, Thieaudio Legacy 3, KZ ZSX, BQEYZ Spring1, Simgot EN700 Pro
-Over-Ear: Audio-Technica MSR7b, Phillips SHP9500, Meze 99 Noir
-Bookshelf speakers: Klipsch R-41PM and Edifier 1700BT
-I’ll probably hook it up to my iFi Zen DAC to test out the function
3. I am still fairly new to this hobby, and so far I have never published a formal review online. I would love to make my debut with the N3Pro. I am, however, a proficient writer and an avid reader.
4. If I’m working at my computer, I play FLAC and DSD files through JRiver to an iFi Zen DAC and then out of the 4.4mm output to either IEM (usually Moondrop Starfield), or the ATH-MSR7b, or to bookshelf speakers. My true portable rig is a Fiio M11 Pro, typically using IEMs, either Fiio FH5, Thieaudio Legacy 3, or KZ ZSX. I also use a Fiio Q1mkii on occasion, maybe if I am using my wife’s tablet or my iPhone, through USB Audio Player Pro.
5. I applied for the iFi NEO iDSD tour, but not sure if I have been accepted.
