This is the model i reviewed, priced at $70-80.

*It seems some comments didnt check my review first and are confusing the Seiun plsyer with the Seiun Pro /X player.

I just finished a brief review of the basic Seiun Model entry model.

I found it to be quite pleasing with a decent set of IEMs.

Out of curiosity, did you max out a 64 gb or higher memory card?  When I put over 5k songs, the player instantly crashes on me. 

No, i just have a very small card, maybe 8gb.

I can try one of my larger micro SD cards for you.

Often there is an ideal way to arrange the music on these devices, like Shozy Alien Gold.

Perhaps make several music folders by genre- and have less than 100 songs per folder? Just an untested theory.

Didn't think they had sent it out yet?

Seems to be no news for beta devices.

Proper communication in all its glory.
At the rate they're going, I can already see the official release being pushed out of this year.
IF they ever release something "final".

Definitely consigned this project to the "happy surprise" category in my head rather than the "coming soon" category now. Will be pleasantly surprised as and when something does finally appear, but won't be holding off making other purchases in the meanwhile.

Glad I backed the Echobox DAP at the same time - that has been delayed a little but should be delivering this month. Funnily enough, as they are pretty good at communicating the delays, no one seems concerned either.

With this rate of progress if there is any. I do think delivery will be pushed to next year.
Lets hope for christmas though.

Hoping it will be to confirm the beta test units have been shipped. Expecting it will be to confirm their latest design revision, beta units will be another few weeks and they hope to catch up their shipping schedule shortly. It's like a really predictable soap opera in there at the moment - here's hoping the scriptwriters throw in an unexpected twist this week!

I tried the Seiun Pro today in Tokyo.

It lives!

I will write more soon.

The white phone thingy is the seiun?

 

[ExpatinJapan]

Yes, thats right. I have more photos on my Canon camera that shows it next to my ipod touch 6G for scale.

Was that the Seiun PHA sat next to it as well? Very unexpected! Looking fiat to any comments you have on the sound quality and UI - we've all been waiting since March for someone to actually hear one!

Did you manage to try the PHA also?
