Hey!
I meant to update the thread earlier, but my bad. Indeed i did, and ill be damned if this player doesn't sound great. Easily better than my Cowon P1 + Cayin c5 stack, all in one player. It easily drives my 2018 LCD-2 with authority, and i don't commonly go over what i estimate 60% volume. At its price, i have absolutely no regrets, and will be selling my other equipment as i don't feel i am losing out on anything there.
I would LOVE to see a newer android build, but that is simply aesthetics, since the player runs just fine. I haven't had any serious issues after the firmware update followed by a system reset (i do with with any android upgrade). So long as the player maintains this quality for a reasonable lifespan (several years), i will be more than happy.
Thanks for talking me into it guys!
