Reviews
Sound quality blew me away right from the start. The details in my favorite tracks come through so clearly and the stage feels wide and natural. Battery lasts a full day of heavy listening without any issues.
Touchscreen responds fast and the interface feels smooth for daily use. Balanced output drives my headphones with plenty of power and control. I love swapping the AMP card to tweak the signature for different genres.
High resolution files sound fantastic with great separation between instruments. Bluetooth connection to my wireless earbuds stays stable and supports high quality codecs. Storage expansion makes it easy to carry my whole library.
