Exactly what I had in mind and wondered why it had not been proposed here before... :)

None of these IFI come with USB-C adapter in 12V version, only some of them come with 5V version... So none of them compatible without additional DC-USBC adapter.
It’s risky to have a USB C adapter with a 12V power supply because people might connect it to devices that only support 5V and damage them.

Today I tried my new Burson V5i-D and OPA1656 along with stock OPA1612. It is quite hard to tell differencies in SQ beetween these 3 opamp from first impressions.

I think each of them needs proper burn-in about 150hours or so to reveal each opamp more noticeable individual signature. I swapped each of them 4-5 times and had noticed only minor differencies affecting sound qualities.

V5i-D out of the box sounded the most sweet in vocals, almost without any harshness or sibilance in high frequencies, it sounded also the most tammed out of three that I have tested. Rhytmic and easy going sound. I have read somewhere that the sound of V5i-D changes quite noticeable after burn in about 150hours, so will see... :)

OPA1656 is an upgrade for some people in my opinion to OPA1612. It sounded a little more coloured, more textured, more space dimensional with better instrument separation and a little more detailed in nuances compared to stock OPA1612. Vocals sounded a little more recessed in the bacground and instruments had also more small nuances and were presented more forward in the overall scene. But these nuances were very subtle.

OPA1656 and OPA1612 also shared a little more harshness and sibilance compared to V5i-D. So for the first impressions it is very hard to tell differencies... :) I think everything will change more obviously over the time... :)

bd34301ekv xduoo module is out now in China online stores for 800¥.

Price will be around 100€ for Europe as I understand.
Not bad, I was afraid that they will price it around 200-250 EUR.

The packaging looks insane, hopefully the AKM price will be similar or not much higher.

Today I've checked again some tracks with my Focal Clear and swapped OPA1612 with Burson V5i-D. With Focal it became more obviuos that along with Burson V5i-D XD05PRO started sounding more easygoing, immersive and enjoyable, but the most important - not earpiercing at all, it became more balanced and rich in tonality, you hear all the details in track, but this is provided to you in delicate manner and not roughly throwed in your face :) Finally I could listen to some rock tracks that were busy in high frequencies and I didn't want to take off my headphones, instead I immersed myself in the engrossing listening session :)

Additionaly I'd like to say that I'm such impressed by XD05PRO 6.3mm headphones output power possibilities, always listening in "NORMAL" gain mode, it always sounds to me the most natural, mature and balanced (probably because of the "A Class" amplification, that is active only in this gain mode).
