Somehow I forgot to mention it in the video - X6 MKII does produce background hiss when sensitive IEMs are connected. So big cans - no problem, sensitive IEMs - not great.

I received mine yesterday and i was blown away on its sound quality its better than my previous ifi nano ione dac which is over rated and 4x the price. Im happy with my new fx audio x6 mkii. Btw i sold the ifi and bought this one and never regret it.

This combo dac/amp is really a surprise. Very well controlled bass and excellent resolution in the vocals. Totally spot on review. A hair bit of dryness, but it is extremely well controlled. Comparing it right now to a Fiio K5 pro, and the K5 has a smooth warmer sound, but it's missing some of the resolve and tightness of the FX Audio. Thank you for suggesting this amp/dac! Never would have picked it up without your recommendation.

I dont need any more sound equipment, but always tempted on your channel. well done.

Just got this DAC. absolutely amazing sound and control for a very small price. Wow!! cannot praise it enough. Just give it a listen

I end up getting the Topping D10s to pair with Loxjie P20. The combo sounds so good and has a lot of juice.

Verry good review, I was very curious about this company, it's quality.
Thankyou !

Thanks for comparing it to the E30. I have the xduoo xq 50 pro Bluetooth receiver and I am planning on using it with the e30. It also uses the 9018 chip. I'm going to run it analog into my atom amp and digital into the e30. Effectively it will be a poor man's astell & kern se200

Thanks for this review. As you know I was waiting for this review as I ordered the unit a little while ago. Now I am looking forward to it a lot more! Subscribed.

Almost bought the first version after seeing your review but now after this great review, guess I will go for this one. :)

Nice review of the X6 MKII. I believe that the new FX Audio D01 is out. Can you do a review on it? Thank you.

i got this few days back and tested with a few headphones. its really good sounding for me.
as you said it doesn't have a warm sound but bass is def there meaning there is no chance bass will bleed to mids. seemed flat to me.
mids were ok for me. it may seem a bit recessed but that might be due to not having a warm/boosted low mids. to me it sounded flat.
treble has a lot of clarity. def not flat here but the tuning is really good.

agree with the volume knob. it still amplifies even after reaching the top led. but yeah doesn't matter what level its at, as long as it can provide the desired volume to be honest.

I find it a nice option as budget option for powered speakers connected to my tv - when it's late and you don't want to anger neighbours you can switch to hp.

Nice review, just to let you know that base your review I have ordered the Topping E30. I will use it with my Adcom GFA 545 mk2 power amp. Thanks so much

[edinechannel]

my dac just come today. and from the casual listener's perspective, this headphone amp i dont realy hear much improve than my creative sound blaster. but for the dac itself, it give more clarity for my amp and speakers. i think its worth for money

Just got this in the mail today. Sounds very good for the price, BUT as soon as I put it close to my iMac it starts picking up some kinds of interferences. Could it be the Bluetooth? Anyway, it’s enough to move it a couple inches away from the computer to get rid of the interferences so it’s not that big of a deal, just throwing it out to the public!

[pabloosvaldopenizzotto]

I have seen several reviews about this unit. The price is very attractive, but hiss problems and other details mentioned in other reviews makes me think to wait until I can spend more money. Maybe some unit from SMSL.

Really a great review！ How abt the soundstage?

[NovaRay]

Hello sir, is it possible to use the usb-b to connect to my phone to the dac/amp if I'm not benefiting the bluetooth?
