Hi.   As of Nov.2014,they said "5” IPS HD LCD multi-touch screen". I do not know the real size.

Wow! The time has come??  Will they have pre-order ? I hope they have. HKD7980 is mostly ZX2 price, too high for me! > <

Unlike the case of ARM1,we still have few information even the release 2 month after. Here is the ARM2 video shows by their distributor or fabricator. You can see ARM2 from the part of 1min. around. I have a couple of things more need to care, external slot, applicable format and software...

I found the article showing AR-M2 at Audi-Visual show in Hong Kong this August. It looks run with Chrome OS!

I agree "the standards" is price standard :-P 

Supporting higher bit number source or DSD, it must have external slot'(s) up to 128GB! :-) Recently DAP information, images and spec., will be leaked a couple of month ahead though...

One shop guy told me they will release M2 in this December. Hope lower price, keep PCM179x DAC, support micro SD 64GB or larger.

HI ! Did you find how to ? I am looking forward your info. ! :-)

Oh! Thank you for the information. I did not know that:-) Do you know where is the information to mod the file? I meant how to open the ARM1 body to see SD slot. Thanks!

Could you let me know how did you open it? Did someone tried swap TFcard to 64GB? I would like to swap it ,if it does work.

News of the new palyer release, it is a good news for me anyway. Jack said N1 and N3 is for entry model and he will release the hiend model in 2013. The hiend model will have higher sound quality and performances than current Studio. I hope the new players will be! :-)

Quote: I meant the current N3 sound is smaller volume and more less bass comparing N1. The less bass that I feel, it caused by volume level for me. So I expect N3 EQ get better than N1 by next firmware update.

Quote:   I like bassy sound that most head-fier saying, The bass makes high tone sound clearer and more sharp, sometime. I said I like N1 sound now, but I could enjoy the N3 sound if I listening 10 minuits more. The differencess I noticed was found when I listen carefully to try to find...

Quote: Yes, N3 is easier on the ears. I just like to enjoy the music with louder volume :-)  Hiss level I feel mostly the same with N1, Unlike RoCooP,I do not mind the hiss level on NOVA series.

My N3 has arrived. Firmware version is N3-2.0 2013-01-24. Still has flac file playing problem. I compared the sound with N1 after 24 hours burn-in. N3 sound is totally lighter than N1. N3 max. volume is the same with n1 level 29. And not bassy and not so hifi like Jack said. Jack said the new...

Quote: Now N1 is better in both of terms 3D imaging and vocal/instruments separation. I could feel more difference if N1 sound power could be higher.

According Jack, my N3 has shipped this week. I expect I could get it by next two weeks.

Quote: I did. The main difference is vocal.  I compare with N1, RoCooP and C3. Vocal on C3 is closest, nest RoCooP then N1. For intruments the order is upside down. Sound resolution not differ so much. The sound stgae I feel C3 is wider. EQ setting, Normal on C3, HSAV10 on N1. The other...

Quote: My N1 SQ get closer with RoCooP. The difference is vocal. Vocal on RoCooP is closer and mostly even with its instrument. Instrumants on N1 closer but vocal is not so. And I've tried your suggestion. But I did not follow it completely. In my usage, I do not paly back music 10hours...

I measured the size of N1, 92(H) x 40(W) x 8(D)mm. If you could find iPod nano 5gen case, it might be used. The size if iPod nano 5G was 90.7(H) x 38.7(W) x 6.7(D). Old nano was smaller a little:-)

Quote: I also have a big interest about the comparisons. If I did not know this thread, I am sure I bought StudioV 3rd Anniv.

Quote: I played it back continuously. No any intervals. If N1 power system is similer, I might make playing time two time! Thanks!

Quote: Yes, I charged 10 hours over, then started to play. however it was one time data. I would ask someone to share the result with each condition.   Jack, How can we get 20 hours  running time? For me, 10 hours running is acceptable if the time could be keep in next two years :-)

Today, I checked N1 non-stop running time. After 10 hours running N1 shut down by low battery. The condition:   Music format:Flac file (44.1/16),   Volume:19 to 24,   Display operation: less than 30 min.   Earbuts: Chord Major7th(Impedance 16 ohm). I guess the same term performance...

In the other thread, hisound tell us the sound quality. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629679/edit-hisound-audio-to-release-new-dap-product-line-nova-with-micro-sd-card-support/495#post_9052485 Current my N1 only sound quality get closer and closer. Hopely the sound quality of N3 also will be AND...
