HTC just announced their new A9, and claim that it will be an audiophile-level audio player.
- they will resample 16bit to 24 bit (which I think is rather useless; not sure if native 24 bit 192KHz is also supported) and include dolby surround support which is cool for films mainly I guess. source = htc site
- "very aspect, from the circuit board design to the placement of each electrical component is considered to reduce sound interference and minimize distortion". source = htc a9 audio page
- Their amp should be better than the competition. Android authority cites HTC claiming it should have double the power of competing smartphones.
- max 2 TB expandable miroSD memory according to the same android authority page, so I can finaly fit all my music onto a phone.
Looks cool, though the other specs are not always up to par with the same-budget competition
Any thoughts?
