I have not heard the meze empyrean but I would take the Dx260. Its very neutral compared to the M7. Easier to match. And its the smallest and cheapest I think of them all. But there is also the new Fiio M23.

The Dx260s highs are less harsh and more relaxed but still clearer sounding. Some sounds like cymbals are too much in your face. The Dx260 to me is more neutral sounding and the M7 more fun sounding but maybe too much fun.

I have had my Dx260 for awhile now. I have to say its way better than my Shanling M7. Bigger soundstage, way better highs, more portable, better battery life.

Mine has started making these weird crackling noises at random times.

Sweden. Maybe 18-20

I have had the S17 Pro now for awhile. It takes about 1.5-2 hours for it to reach 69 degress with a Hifiman Ananda nano.

Does anyone know if you get use the Aune X8 xviii Trs preout to S17 pro. Or if its better to use another dac.

Okey. Will see what happens next week

Yes but only that they have picked it up

Maybe 😉

Mine was shipped just now aswell strange. But they told me they would pay me back.

They just cancelled my order because of a system error showing the wrong price :/

Nice 😉 I dont need one or really want one but for that price I dont know anymore 😛. I just need a desktop dac.

Good thing a got one yesterday :) The Xduoo Xd05 pro has a insane low price still.

Just bought one also
