I little while ago I dropped my Mrobo C5 for the tenth time, but this time it landed on the jack.
I had to do a little repair work and I thought some people here might find it interesting. The Left channel cut out, and the Capacitor was disconnected from the trace that got torn off with the 3.5mm. I had to run a jumper between the top of the Cap and the pin of the Jack. Soldering the trace back together wouldn't work, as it would just tear off again.
To make sure it wouldn't happen again, I put a spacer between the front of the device, and the rear on the back to stop any play the jack has, and applied a lot of Cyanoacrylate and Baking Soda to form a hard crust.
All better now :) I'll be more careful. (I attached images of the PCB)

Not sure if I buy that power output given the overall size. That's just shy of 2W@16ohm.

I am using Xunsound XS01 as my goto DAP for a while and is super happy with it. The SQ is awesome. I feel it's slightly warm (AK4490) but doesn't sacrifice any details. I have not used or wanted to use any of my other DAPs since I got XS01. They have released a latest firmware version couple of weeks ago which fixed some of the issues.

At the moment , I have a Hidizs AP100 and Sony A17 handy. I am terrible in describing the SQ - so please take my opinion with a grain of salt. I am using LZ A4 [Red + Blue] for the comparison.

Compared to Hidizs AP-100, XS01 has more warmer tonality.I felt the bass is bit more meatier, hits harder and it has great texture(not sure if this is the right word). Clarity and separation are very similar. AP100 has much treble extension , but I prefer XS01.

Compared to A17, XS01 bass hits much harder and clearer. For some reason I find A17 to be lifeless. XS01 on the other hand for me is exciting and makes me dance :)

Other Pros
- Swappable opamps and they are easy to access. (BTW I am using OPA627AP)
- Solid build quality.
- Has four digital filters like in other DAPS which has AK DACs.
- Two headphone outputs, out of which one is for hard to drive headphones.
- Barebone UI like HisoundAudio studio's , but much better, the extra two button(Home and Back) really helps.

Cons
- Does not play 24 bit FLAC
- No dedicated line out , but there two headphone output, one much more powerful than other.
- There is a slight cracking noise when used with sensitive IEMS while changing tracks. Most of the time I dont notice it.
- Barebone UI , this also means , no playlist or other features.
- No Eq

Hope this helps.

thanks a lot for detailed explanation, more than enough.. I was curious about xs01 but no support for 24 bit flac is killing the deal for me.. thanks again..
