Vinshine has been so much the front end of Denefrips that I really can't say I have a sense of the company without Vinshine. I have two Denefrips DACs and found Vinshine to be reliable and reasonable. If Denefrips is getting another distributor or going a DTC route I guess time will tell. I wouldn't have bought their gear from Ali Express/AliBaba; that seems too opaque for buying high-value items.
I wish Vinshine well. They have a good business model.
