@ rlanger: I tried to do a movie to show you the sweetness of the button but I can't upload it on the forum.

Francky :wink:
Thank you for your effort. I imagine it will be fine. The unit will sit on the left side of my laptop, since that's where my 2 USB inputs are. That should make it relatively easy to use my thumb to adjust the volume.

Thats Class A amplication with AK4497, should be better then stock opamp Xduoo . Im utilizing the aux out from Xduoo for Class A amped ( MG2).

I know XD05 series have 3.5 line out at back panel, at the XD05 BAL - the 4.4 out does it have line out function?
Not that im aware of, you will be double amping. Best to use the true dedicated lineout 3.5mm AUX at 2V.

hard to say - with stock OPA: definitely not, as some reviewer suggested, but with best OPA.. should be very, very close, I think. Honey H1 sounds nice, but for the price and its functionality.. I do not think it is a great value and does not give you same versality like Xduoo does. I have been in dilemma like you and chose Xduoo.

Kind of think of it, if you use Oriolus BA300S power tube amp, you will be using Xduoo as preamp balanced.I just ordered BA300S, will feedback how it will stack. Also just ordered A&K PEE51 dongle as dedicated dac for 3.5mm AUX input on Xduoo.

I was briefly considering the H1 before I pulled the trigger on the XD-05, but even with the purchase of 2 Muses02 op-amps, the XD-05 worked out to be about $200 cheaper. I'm sure the H1 sounds great, but I can't imagine that it would be worth that kind of price jump.

Just curious as to why you got rid of the H1?

Oh, and still waiting on my XD-05. :weary:
