Hi Chris, glad you shares your view point. I dont take personal offense, and I do like feedback. What firmware version are you on? I am on 0.05B, which yielded many improvements. But as far as hiss and roll off go, I'm sorry, I legitametly couldn't hear it. What IEMs did you test the AP60 with? If I have some of the same ones, maybe I could do a test to try and corroborate your findings?
I didnt know that USB DAC was even a feature. However I do stand by my rating, as I would personally buy this if I needed a new DAP.

I usually agree with your reviews, unfortunately I think we have totally different views on the AP60. There are some flaws that you haven't mentioned (probably you haven't detected them?), along with the promised features that haven't been activated yet
Please don't take my post as a personal attack because it isn't meant as such, and I know that different people have a different view on things sometimes, but aspects like the not yet activated USB DAC out, permanent moderate bass roll-off regardless of load impedance, the hiss that would be okay for a very powerful player but not for one with a weak and supposedly IEM-friendly output and that the touch button control is not the most accurate (on the go) are things that don't let me see the player achieving more than 2.5 to 3 stars (the latter if the DAC output was finally activated). Maybe I should already upload my review as opposing point of view today although I thought I would hold it back until the USB output was enabled.
Cheers,
Chris
