Any headphones/iems can work as balanced with a balanced cable?

No. Whole different thing.

Looks like it's a little bit bigger than AP80, has both 3.5 and 2.5, I wonder if battery is the same or they put something bigger inside since there is more room.

"The appearance is a little bit more than the AP80, emphasizing the balanced output, also into the 2.5mm balanced output, the DAC is upgraded to two ES9218P, plus the FPGA chip, the DSD also corresponds to the DSD256 hard solution, and the PCM also supports 32bit/384kHz"

if its still only putting 800ma from the wall charger to give me a 1hr20min charge then it shouldnt shorten the lifespan relative to the usb ports 500ma

so can i trust the wall charger not to shorten my battery lifespan?

I don‘t know about you, but my AP80 heats up a LOT when charged at even 2a. I would be willing to bet that over time, slower charging would increase total battery cycle life by at least ~60%.

As for the comments about phones, I have an Axon 7 with good audio quality, but it still doesn’t beat the AP80. I can't remember what chip it has.

i charged from 0 to 100% wtih 5v2.4a wall charger and my ap80 never heated up much. i was checking the heat on it and the new wall charger to be safe.

the other guy said it would not draw more then 0.8a anyway. the only other option is the usb 3 port which will the guy says will give only 0.5a due to the data connection (2hr5min charge time)

Mine doesn't heat up either. It does, however, get warm when using self-powered USB-C DACs.

Killer! Thanks for sharing.I did a translation of the page but no new details on release schedule... :/

That's one sexy little player.

And the main attraction, 2.5mm balanced output:

when im navigating the sd card by FILES it seems if there is any .cue files in the folder it wont display the actual physical files on the sd card but instead will display the track info in the .cue file instead. (and will also display info from all .cue files in that folder at once)

the tracks listed in the .cue files will also be displayed in the tag categories, (according to the tags in the actual music files).

When you start daisy chaining devices in search of the ultimate sound you've taken a step too far IMHO. Sorry can't answer your question.

Can you explain about i'm taking a step too far ?
Thank you

I understand the quest for ultimate sound. I already carry a large phone, dap, earphones in my pockets. That's plenty enough for me. The sound of the AP80 is already great. I'm sure the sound of the Sonata is incredible though.

Thanks

Yes, you can, since the AP80 works with USB DACs.

The DH1000/Sonata IDSD Plus sounds really incredible.
