Hi Guys,

Any of you heard of ATC-HiFi?

They are being sold at Richer Sounds in the UK, I am guessing they are a re-brand as one of their amps is the same as an XDuoo one.

Both players have a line-out socket, the DP10 is also an optical out socket, whereas the DP20 is coaxial out.

The DP10 has dual microSD slots, the DP20 single,

DP10 uses AKM4490, DP20 uses dual WM8740

Both have buttons, no touch screen and are pure players with no extras.

The DP10 is priced at £199.95
The DP20 is priced at £289.95

I shall be getting both to review, and will update this thread with reviews.

Anyone interested in my custom firmware / themes for the awesome ATC HDA-DP20 (Xuelin ihifi990)
All english errors corrected and GUI improvements. My firmware mod is based on Xeulin's as ATC don't have one available to download, but they say they are working on an update :)

To flash you must be using a fat32 formatted microsd card.
Copy the hf990.fw to the root of the card and:
Either using Settings, Firmware Update option.
Or with the power off hold back (bottom button on the front) while pressing power.

Modified my awesome HDA-DP20 / ihifi990 tonight. Bypassed the omron relay, it will help with slight sound improvement but also made room for a second 1000uf Cap :L3000: The power on and off pop doesn't bother me at all, kind of nostalgic, the sound of this awesome DAP is now even more amazing with 2 x Nichicon KW 1000uf in parallel with the original Kemet 330uf.

Replaced the stock 3000mah battery with a 4300mah one (supposedly) so we'll see how the battery improves (already improved with my firmware mod and relay bypass previously)



The original battery is the black one.
