-no coloring nor euphonic distortion boost
-High level of transparency
-Good imaging
-delicate and sparkly airy treble
-Impressively stereophonic micro dynamic
-Immersive and contemplative musicality
-powerful output in ultra tiny size DAP
-3.5 and 4.4 balanced output with low-high gain
-fast and responsive UI
-LDAC Bluetooth, USB in out DAC, Coaxial out DAC
-Long battery life and fast charging
-very fast music library (micro sd) scanning
-impressive sound quality for the price

CONS:
-light note weight and thin mids might sound cold for some
-not for those seeking bassy macro dynamic or warm thick mids
-i personally prefer Hiby player based UI
-holding up-down volume control to skip track isn’t most responsive
-only Air play (and soon Roon) will be underwhelming for those using streaming service
-would have been nice to have a Discman like protective case instead of stickers
-i still would have prefer dedicated aux line out instead of coaxial (nitpick)
