Packaging and Accessories

Green is clearly the theme with the XD05T, as we see a bold green color product box too. The shiny gold lettering is hard to photograph straight-on, so I did take the photo from an angle to better show you how it looks. On the front is the product name to go with visual indicators of the tube amplification used, the I/O on offer, and the max power output from the device. The customary Hi-Res Audio badge is also seen here, for anyone who cares. More features are listed on the back in multiple languages in addition to contact info for the company. The lid lifts to reveal the XD05T in a wax paper wrap surrounded by thick foam on all sides for added protection, with an xDuoo metal plate souvenir alongside.


There are handy cutouts to help remove the contents as well as access the bottom layer, where we find two cardboard boxes with the actual accessories—although I suppose you could use that metal nameplate to pry open some things in an emergency. The left box contains a 3.5 mm to 6.35 mm (1/4") TRS single-ended adapter to use your 3.5 mm termination IEM cables with the XD05T, a set of stick-on rubber feet to prevent scratches to the XD05T chassis when placed on a desk, and two short cables going from USB Type-C and Lighting on the client side—phones, tablets etc.—to Type-C input on the XD05T itself, with right-angled connector housings throughout. The right box has a multi-language user manual, a warranty guide, a longer orange USB Type-C to Type-C cable, and a Type-C to Type-A adapter to help use this with your desktop. Note that xDuoo sells an optional DC power supply too, which is compatible with several of the brand's portable sources, although you don't really need it here.
