Comparaison avec le Fiio X1:H20Fidelity a écrit :I just had a quick listen between the two players with Fidue A83.whoever a écrit :Vs alien Soundwise?
X2 is smoother warmer (as in bassier) and less engaging than Alien, more relaxed or laid back, maybe a touch rolled off in the highs. This probably explains why I'm having such good results with the overly cool analytical H-300 hybrid. This also means X2' isn't quite as detailed, but on a technical standpoint X2 isn't really far behind in instrument separation and maybe even edge out on soundstage width as you see me keep mentioning these as strong points.
It actually pairs really well with A83 similar to H-300. I think if you're looking to replace Alien for $55 that's not going to happen as we know that unit performs terribly high for its price. If however, you're like me always looking to mix n match tonality on that quest for synergy between IEM and DAP then X2 is going to have a place for you.
For example, my H-300 has just found a new long time partner with X2. (I will leave them together because their tone sits well)
I've also noticed X2 has a relay switch like found on common amps and iBasso units, that click you hear on start up switching the amp section on/off. For those who don't know what this means bassically there's no loud pop on start up because this relay switch inside X2 prevents any current reaching the IEMs.

I do agree with H2O on most of the comments, except I found that I have to press middle Play/Pause button twice in order to pause the track, but it resumes with a single click. I'm happy the firmware is upgradable because I'm pretty sure they will have to fix some glitches. Also takes a bit getting used to, like for example moving down the list you need to use left/right nav buttons instead of up/down. But not a show stopper.
I like a little relay click on start up and fade in/out effects as wellOverall, build quality is SOLID!!!, though when you shake X2 you can hear buttons rattling (they are a bit loose, by design). OLED screen is bright and with a nice contrast, and when off - mirror reflective, kind of neat. Sound quality is WARM and SMOOTH, but still very clear (better than Clip Sport, for sure!). In comparison to FiiO X1, xDuoo X2 is warmer and has less sparkle in treble. Overall staging is wide. I only had 5min to play with it before the work, and tried it quickly with Titan 1 - it's a match made in heaven for bright headphones. So definitely would be great for Titan 1 or A83 or any other bright or analytical IEMs. But for something warm like DuoZA or A71 or CKR10 - might not be a good idea, though I still have to test it out.
Will do more listening tonight, but so far I'm impressed with a sound quality considering most of my other DAPs are bright/brighter (X5, AP100, N6) and until now X1 was the only go to for brighter IEMs. Btw, I didn't hear any excessive hissing with my very brief listening session of Titan 1 and T2. I mean, X2 doesn't have a perfect dark background, but it's not bad at all. Actually for a warm/smooth little matchbox size mp3 player it sounds surprisingly clear. I just hope they straighten out firmware because my unit is a bit inconsistent with responses to single button clicks.
Plus chaud que le X1 ? Sachant que le X1 est déjà plutôt hot saucisseDarkZenith a écrit : Comparaison avec le Fiio X1:twister6 a écrit : In comparison to FiiO X1, xDuoo X2 is warmer and has less sparkle in treble. Overall staging is wide.
Ah mais y'a quand même du positif ...suffit juste de faire son tri personnaliséVic a écrit :Bon j'ai rien dit sur le souffle, quasi rien avec les EM32, c'est énergique et de ce point de vue c'est bien mieux qu'un clip zip avec les EM ! 40 crans de volume et je suis entre 5 et 10.
