Conclusion
Both are great units while Meizu is weaker. Ä°basso is x3 stronger but easier to get congested. The soundstage of Meizu looked a V to me as vocals are definetely oppressed. But ibasso looks like mix between V U and — with varying ratios.
Conclusion2
I’d like to honor the Meizu with a gold medal but though it is clearer and less congested lack of power confused my mind. The same goes for iBasso too. Both have different strenghts and weaknesses
