"However, I do question it's shielding properties since the case is plastic" The Auralic Aires streamer is in a plastic case. Auralics reason for doing this is better WiFi reception. They said the majority of users of the Aries use WiFi and a metal case is not the best answer for WiFi Reception

But why would Auralic's reasoning apply to the Pipo X7? The Pipo has an external wifi antenna.
don't know. Probably doesn't

Actually the black one is Al. The White one seems to be the first model.WiFi is easily disabled and removed.

Even a couple online reviewers were fooled into thinking the case is aluminum, but it's not:
I just tested it with a magnet. My spec on the black unit says: case - metal.The heat sink is certainly metal - see teardown reviews. No maker will
omit a heatsink or couple this to plastic.

Yes, the base on my Pipo X7 is slightly rusted steel. I've established that in my original post. Did the magnet stick to the rest of your case?There are teardown reviews out there that claim the Pipo X7 uses it's entire case as a heatsink. I don't see how that is possible.
