Eversolo A10 died - Questions

I was thinking about buying the Luxsin X9 dac/amp but it is, if not the same,  a company  linked to Eversolo. 

The investment will be huge for me...

This experience by a customer  made me think again ....

After the T shirt offer I told them replace the unit or I will warn any and all potential customers on every forum and social media platform to stay away from Eversolo as they do not honor their warranty.   A smart company would have never let it get to this level of anger. 

These companies are greedy and short sighted. They would rather take the risk with you posting this on every forum than lose a few dollars and send you a replacement unit. Hope I’m wrong.
I had Auralic and Lumin streamers. Auralic was buggy. It looks like they’re bailing out now. Lumin is solid so far as a company and they have been around a bit. Reliable streamers - you don’t read about issues with Lumin.
I considered Denafrips when I was looking to upgrade a DAC but it didn’t make sense to me. I don’t believe the hype and the idea of sending a unit for repairs back to China doesn’t appeal to me. I just don’t have the time and the budget to futz around with this type of crap. Sorry it happened to you. It’s a painful lesson to learn. 

I recently watched a YouTube video about Eversolo and other Chinese HiFi companies.  It appears Eversolo is very serious about audio and has invested quite a bit in plant and personal. Very surprising and shameful they would let it get this far.

Denafrips has had a service center in Texas for years now.  Their gear does not have to go back to China for repair. Todd at TEK Services has posted here many times.
