Excellent. Keep those details coming!

I like the form factor of the Lotoo Pico, looks so much like the high end Sony MD players.Hope someone can try it and tell us more soon.

Colour me intrigued.

If it has a USB DAC feature built in I'd be very happy.

Sign me right up!  I love small daps, and would love to try out a PAW.  I wonder if they'll be able to get the price below the current 5K cost on Amazon which is $200 right now.  I imagine it'll be awhile before availability shows up.

Will be available in quarter 1 in 2017 and price shall be no more than 200 USD. Shozy Alien Gold, watch out

I've read somewhere that it has bluetooth and there is going to be a companion app to control the player. Is that correct? There's very little information about it?
 
Tiny player that can be controlled from a smartphone would be killer.

It also has GPS and movement sensors, similar to what smartphone has. So I guess you need a smartphone to access the data, and probably control it.

Accessories include Sports clip and straps.

Very clever design.Long live for this Sony magnesium MD look alike music player.

As long as it doesn't sound like doggy poo, which would be most surprising from Lotoo, then I will most probably grab one of these when released. The addition of the sports clip indicates its geared towards those who want good audio in a compact package when they're training. Love it

Config from smartphone is a plus, especially since it's a screenless design.  But playback control - it already has hw control buttons   With a clip, it will be very convenient on the go, especially with wireless headphones when working out.

If 200 or less them it will be epic

Yeah but what good are 2 or 3 buttons when you have hundreds of songs? If I can select a playlist or album from the phone and then play/pause/skip from the device that's the best combo.

That's why if you are looking for a more efficient navigation through hundreds or thousands of songs, you get a proper DAP with a touch screen, though LPG does its job well

 
Just like any Bluetooth dongle, they usually control the playback of your smartphone/tablet apps where you can already set the playlist of songs on your phone.  But Pico can also play songs from it's uSD card. So if Lotoo going to have an app to config playback of those songs - it would be awesome!  Or maybe have a mode to use Pico as a bluetooth remote control, I would like that to control wireless playback of my Bluetooth speakers.  Possibilities are endless

  Of course, this is just a wish list with speculations.  Will have to wait to find out what it actually does, hopefully soon!
