I only use Quedelix as a dac. It works great. Have used both android and apple phones. (LG was Android) I am sorry Chris is having problems. The Moondrop piece caught my eye. Here is another vote for a Canon review. 
Same boat here selling my Blessing2 would buy Lava but want to know how much improvement the Canon would be.

Whatās better between the xenns up vs lava? How do they compare?
Why isnāt the lava ranked on your list? Iām wondering how they compare to xenns up?
Hey Chris a quick question about the moon river 2, does it sound less congested when plugged into a PC vs a Phone? Or the same?
Some AMP/DAC Iāve tried before sounded much different depending on the source. For example, the ifi hip-dac sounded noticeably more cramped and less wide when it was plugged into my phone vs my PC. Thanks man 
Try powering up Q5k before connecting it to the phone.
Also, set priority to USB instead of Bluetooth (simple icon click on the Volume tab in the app).

Looks like thereās a good reason why you are finding the Canon to be an affordable alternative to Kinda Lava and XENNS UP (Canon with bass switch ON, at least thatās what I think āDip 1ā means):

I know you just got your hands on the Moon drop River 2, but can I suggest (more like humbly request) that you review the brand new Questyle M15. The M12 was unusually good so the M15 should be straight fire

Sometimes I hate when shipping is too efficient; Hook-X was set to be delivered on Monday, but now its out for delivery today (and I wonāt be home until late afternoon/early evening on Saturday). Iām tempted to hold the delivery, but Iām not in a āporch burglerā kind of neighborhood and itād be nice to have Sunday to break them in. First World Problems, amirite?
EDIT: LOL WRONG IEM apparently itās my Kinda Lava; Hook-X is due in on Thursday.

Hahaha thatās cruel - my Canon hasnāt left China yet, and itās been 16 days already
Same here. My Hook was supposed to arrive late next week. Now itās set for Monday delivery and Iāll be on vacation out of town. Already did a reschedule though. Hope my Thor ships as quick on release day.

Havenāt been in the IEM game for about half a year now, last set I got was the Mele when it came out. Super satisfied since that time. Checking back in with the ranking list, I see a lot of names of IEMs I donāt recognize. I figured Iād start where I left off, and go with HBBās tuning preferencesā¦
Diving back in, Iām planning to hop on the Kinda Lava sale thats supposed to start soon. After whatever research I could do in the last day or so, Iām leaning to try the Kinda Lava over the other set I was considering waiting for, the Monarch MKIIā¦
Does anyone have the exact time/day the Kinda Lava Amazon US sale is supposed to start? I saw the youtube community post that says on the 17th, but Iām not too clear what time zone.
Appreciate any help from the kind folks here!

I have the same phenomenon right now: the parcel was in my local courierās hand, and all of a sudden, have been tracked in Hong Kongā¦
I think/hope it is more a bug than a real info, though.
