@Vimtoman There will be an official announcement if it happens, I will do the follow up on this thread

I think you mean ‘when’ it happens Since you guys already paid Sony the fee.

@kenloveme is the Hidizs logo going to be on the front? I prefer it to be on the back only as in the Kickstarter pictures

I’d like to know this also, I’d prefer no logo on the front too.

On a similar topic, what about the yellow/black Hi-Res thing?
It appears on some pics, it's absent on others. Is it a simple sticker that can be removed? Looks better without!

 

[nickv]

Sure

Sorry, I forgot to do this a few times in my recent first impressions, because it takes some time to develop my photos lately

Thank you for your kind words!!



I have both actualy. I think it works nicely. Since it is not overly smooth nor overly warm, it doesn't make them any thicker, and sicne they were quite thick, this is for the best. You can also use the EQ within AP80 to give them a tad more treble, which they usually need

Which colour is your demo unit? Black or grey? It's hard to tell with the lighting but I like it!

I've backed this project. My first foray into DAPs. I hope it's a good one!

Just a sticker, easily removed.

It is the black version

Well, this will be a great entry to the audio journey I think

Apart from the missing firmware to fix or offer the promised features on AP200, do you notice that hidizs customer service only appear when they launch new product? Then no where to be found after that? Or my eyes are playing tricks on me? I should see pass the imperfections. I own ap200 and ap60 pro. Unlikely I will buy ap80 no matter how tempting is the FM feature for running.

I vote they will change. The last past year, no Hidizs people were talking/replying on this head-fi, now here is the Ken. I think they are realizing that.

Thought so, but better to be sure!
+1 for 'no logo on the front'. A 'clean' face with only the screen.

And thanks to those who own the other/former/older models to let the new backers know about the past stories...

Testing standby....
I would be very surprised if headphonics comparison would deviate from what I've found cause it is obvious

Already answered, look at the FAQ section of the first post



Good. No irritation, no waiting. Good loading time.

Do you mean 35 days of standby is not possible? As per Ken the ap80 with headphonics had issues. Would love to see your results.

I mean my comparison of SQ between AP80 and M0 which Headphonics did actually admit.

I'm proud of it being a Hidizs product. Cool company, I love you guys, BUT PLEASE... no logo on the front. It's just not a good look. Let the gorgeousness of the player speak for itself. Only the back should have the logo.

 

[Luhar]

+1 on no front logo.

 

[Dobrescu George]

I don't think there is any frontal logo (?)

Hidizs AP80 and Campfire Audio Atlas.

Waiting for beta FW 0.09

Anyone tried to load the R3 firmware onto their Hidizs....?

Got it!
I believe standby testing is still going on..
