Do you have US distribution and service yet?

Not nailed yet

Interesting indeed!

“Unlike on the desktop where on gain the M2Pro's analog output competed with a digital USB signal then hit an active linestage, the big rig's usual DACs dispatch 4V or more balanced. Consequently, the M2 Pro without the optional 2xXLR extension box and custom balanced umbilical upped the numbers on the preamp's volume display by a factor of 4. Below 64, the Wyred preamp in fact behaves purely passive, hence without voltage gain. Sonically, this got surprisingly close to an original AURALiC Vega which I drafted for service as a very recognizable quantity. At its time it had demanded €3'300. Five years later, a premium portable at ⅓ the ask could approach it with only a small gap in colour intensity where the Vega had always dominated. Because the 6m interconnects to the amps were driven by the preamp, the M2 Pro had no issue handling its short leash into it. In the context of a likely system whose owner would double-task this DAP for portable/stationary use, I'm confident you'd not want more. Premium dual-mono AKM 'Velvet Sound' chips driven mono I²S off a custom-coded FPGA followed by a balanced output stage powered by battery are a very winning recipe.”---Quoted from 6moons Review

We are going to have a 7 days National holiday, and I will start the Twitter giveaway when I come back.
Cheers.

Akm dac? Really? Again? Not for me...

Wonder how this will compare to the Questyle QP1R in SQ and UI. Does it have optical out? Don’t see WiFi do not able to stream. That’s a shame. I am still waiting for something as good as the QP1R that has similar storage, a better UI and WiFi.

Hover over your name at the top right of the page (assuming you're not on mobile).

Thanks CrabDog! I have it figured out, and I edited my post above! MUCH appreciated with the help

I must've missed that somewhere??? I haven't looked at the AliExpress sale page yet, so sorry if I missed it there, but nowhere above does it say that they used AKM DAC chips, right? Above it says that they used something completely different, the PFGA Structure. Correct?

I just want to know all that I can about this DAP, since I'm really interested in trying it out, and in no way are trying to prove you right or wrong

TIA for ANY info someone can give me about using the AKM DAC

Nevermind, just saw the Moon Audio review 8)

I wish I could just delete my original post here on head-fi, but I don't see that as an option anywhere???

M2pro uses dual CS4398 actually.

Can it be tried somewhere in Beijing? Would love to compare to my WM1Z and Lotoo Paw gold
