One thing that I don't see listed in these specifications is what SoC (System on a Chip or main processor) that is used in this device. Could you elucidate that please?

Just to add a bit, this certainly is how Rockbox porting works. That said, I personally would love to see Rockbox ported to a device with a manufacturer leading the way, and I think most other Rockbox devs would agree. If a manufacturer were to want to port Rockbox to their device, I am sure that they would receive help where they ask if we are capable of giving it (with time, documentation and device restraints).

Only 32 GB of storage now is not good. It is beginning to look less and less attractive and to looks as it is going to have a real problem competing with a iRiver H-1xx with RockBox feeding an iBasso D10 through optical.

Hard drive need too much energy. More storage or Hi-Fi? If you feel your SD card is not enough, then buy another SD card.

Saying "Hard drive need too much energy" is a bit much of a blanket statement - especially when the device that it is being compared to in this instance (an iRiver H100 series) has a hard drive and gets much more battery life with a stock battery and can easily achieve over 24 hours with an upgraded battery. Of course the components are quite different in each device and will make plenty of difference, but the firmware can have quite a bit of impact on this as well - especially with how you might be scaling the SoC, disabling components when they aren't used, codec efficiency, how often you might be hitting the drive for data, how much RAM you have for audio data, etc. While I do not think that a hard drive would be best for this type of device due to potential noise, etc, I just wanted to chime in that the reason listed doesn't really cover it.
