so quiet

I hope not had some good impression from the Cambridge meet. Although, I see a high demand for optical and coaxial outs.

Look like an Ipod to me, but the brushed metal somehow looks hideous in my eyes. Wonder about the sound quality, though.

no. just no

Yes, the AR-M1 is basically an engineering failure with only 4 to 6 hours of play back time. Does not even support 48KHz files ***!!! 48KHz sample rate files would cause the AR-M1 to freeze. The sound is not that amazing either. I am extremely sorry that I ever purchased it. IT IS ABSOLUTELY a MISTAKE. Many other DAPs that are priced less excel in almost all aspects when compared with the AR-M1.

This is the problem with people refusing to let an old, obsolete, thread die.
 
This thread relates to this:
 

 
 
But some head-fiers insist on including discussion about this:
 

 
even though there is a proper dedicated thread, which has existed for 3 months:

Just so long as you and I are not old and obsolete, everything is alright in my world!

Both old farts...

arm1 should burn more than 300 hrs

Hmm so their M1 copied iPod's design.

 

[Mython]

This DAP is already old, OLD news. This is the thread which just refuses to lay down and die gracefully! LOL

 

[kawaivpc1]

yes... this DAP is screwed. I see that it's completely forgotten. $800 for this isn't normal....

 

[Audiofail]

They did not even become close to iPod as the User Interface sucks. It is just a cosmetic lame imitator. The sound is not bad but it does not worth $800 either.

their M2 makes more sense.. they're asking similar price for their new M2.
M2, however, has a terrible folder browser which shows the entire folders in your SD card in one screen. 
They're refusing to fixing this quickly.... unbelievable.
