No wifi/BT icons on screen.

A dedicated Linux, perhaps windows based dap. Linux would make more sens and run better, my guess. Perhaps spdif input, not just output. Adjustable gain in fine increments like volume control on most daps. Perhaps m.2 SSD. Dual micro SD slot. Upsampling chip for everything to dsd 512. Analog eq. perhaps e ink display for back.

A SIM slot for mobile broadband? 5G streaming?
Hiby already did that with the R8 Stainless Steel version.

Linux DAP was also my bet, one can only hope
