Will this have an XMOS chip or so to make it more viable as a less latency Windows pc dac/amp?

I know its not intended for that. As it is a standalone device...

...But it's such a cute device for windows pc desktop usage.

Love my Fiio R7 all-in-one.

Looks fantastic. I really wish it would have come with a different DAC, or the option to change DACs - such as to an AKM based chip, R2R or ROHM.

Normally I'd agree, but boi have Fiio been on a role with their ESS implementations.

R7, Q7, K9 Pro ESS, M17 all been well reviewed by people that don't have a conflict of interest. And non Topping/RME people.

Will it be Android 10 still or could it be Android 11 or 12 or even higher?
The factory system is Android 10 and will be upgraded to Android 12 later.

Is that also the case for the R7?
Sorry for the off-topic question, but this would be huge for R7 users, IMO.
