xDuoo XD05 Pro - Portable and Powerful. And a decent DAC

An interesting product from xDuoo.
A powerful modular portable DAC and Headphone Amp.
I've seen to many products come with "future-proof" modularity, only to vanish the next year, so I would definitely not say this is a main purchasing feature, but we'll if we see new DACs for this unit next year.
Overall it's a good product, but you can get better if you loose the portability aspect.
I'd like to thank ‪@aposaudio‬ for loaning me a review sample.

Thanks for another thorough review. I went with the iFi Gryphon for portable listening. It’s very similar in features, and coincidentally, I even set it up with a set of orange Chubby brand cables that look exactly like the ones in the accessory kit here. I think the Gryphon could probably replace a lot of desktop setups and I’ve seen other reviews that compare it favorably to the Mojo Chord. The XD05 looks like it was designed to compete in the same category.

Nice. I'm going to have to take a look at the Gryphon! Thanks for watching again! I appreciate it!
