    FiiO 2023 New Product Schedule

    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.

    Shanling M1s - Ideal Compact Portable Player

    The only thing I can think of that I would like to see is better artwork handling with Opus files. I embed my artwork and the M1S displays none of it with Opus files.

    With a proper DAC, is there any reason to not use an old receiver as my amp?

    I came across a 1977 Marantz 2216 receiver/amp at a thrift store a few days ago for $25 and have been plotting some sort of use for it. The closest I've come is supplanting a dedicated headphone amp with it, pairing a proper DAC. Is there any reason to not do this?   My thought was that...
