Yet not confirmed but it's not going to cross 70 $ mark otherwise x1 mk2 is not going to stand. Porta fi also confirm that it would be around 69.99 $. But the price may vary in different region due to tax .

@georgelai57 Brilliant, thanks for the excellent news.
D. Summary and comparison between M3 vs M3K
Let's take a brief review at the M3K's features. Ingenic X1000E SOC and AK4376A DAC are equipped on M3K. It has a large battery capacity of 1100mAh, a battery life of 26 hours playback and 38 days standby time. Recording function and full formats support are also supported on M3K. To operate the M3K, you will use the TPU touch button. And you have SD card slot to store up to 512GB files. It also has the missing clock function of M3.
Let's check out what're the improvement made on M3K comparing with M3. The M3K uses the aluminium alloy shell, has better DAC and Soc. It has twice the battery capacity of M3 and has much longer playback time than M3. It could support more formats and has better sound performace in many ways. With the added clock and recording function, it becomes a much more versatile product. And also, it could support firmware update, in the future so we can improve it when our customer have new requirement about new features and better UI/ UE.

E. Price and availability
Lastly, let's see how much would the M3K cost. The M3K is about the same price as the M3 first gen, very competitive, but the exact price would be decided by our local distributors. It's estimated to be available in August.

$199.99 is pretty impressive.

How does SQ compare to the current mid price leader the Shanling M3S? Balanced?

I might be confusing it with the X3.

M3K will go for 70 USD in US and a little bit more in EU (more import duties and taxes), there is no comparison with Shanling M3S...
Not $200
