Have you owned one of the new ones? Don't lie. I just sold my ZX707. Stock system apps have to be disabled to make the UI feel even a little quick. The hardware is literally at the edge of 'usable'. Which basically means the unit's prospects for the next 3-5 years, after whatever the next...

I'm pretty sure they know. And there's only so much that can be done with a Snapdragon 660/665 in 2024 - and it's still one of the only SoC options available at a reasonable price in 'low quantities'. Modern Android on such a chip is a miserable experience.

It probably has something to do with the fact that the DAP market is dead. A small contingent of enthusiasts does not justify the development costs of these. The fate of the DAP was sealed the second dongles caught up in perceivable sound quality.

Is the blue no-more?
