If it's bigger then T51, nobody is gonna seriously consider this device as a portable player especially considering Colorfly CX4 and HifiMan's bricks (with better performance)...

I guess from the image that it's 110-130mm on a side...

That seems to be Telcasts motive, to always ruin something on the design to upset the customers. At least from one of the original posts I thought it read they intended to make the T59 smaller (at least the screen size) and focused solely on audio. It should have remained rectangle like to be feasible for the pocket. From what I remember they were suppose to make another mp3 player that focus's on video as well while the T59 solely for audio (makes much more sense to me).

Hmm, I do not know how Teclast perceives the market, but it seems they try to compete with companies/brands with giant DAPs with the T59. Colorfly C4, HM801, and some WAV-player from erji.net... Personally, I find the design very charming. But 90% of the other people who expected the T59 to be something else, will not like it. I understand your point.

I think you are correct, only the part about the performance... lets see what will come

If the screen looks as big as it looks in the photos, does that mean it will feature a touch screen?
 
I swear it reminds me of one of those ancient Nintendo Mr. Game and Watch handheld games.....

Maybe this is meant to be a music server tablet. Think midi CDPlayer and iTouch spawning a mutant baby. Instead of trying to figure out what DAC-Amp works with the iPad to make a convenient space-saving rig, here's something that will work on its own or through a lineout to an amp in case it can't drive your headphones.

I politely disagree with you on all counts.
 
The specs already indicate the T59 will be better than T51, Colorfly, Hifiman, etc...

Could you tell us a bit about the specs? 

 

[kiteki]

It has:
 
- 24 bit / 192 kHz support
- Wi-Fi
- GPS
- Windows
- MP3, OGG, AAC, WAV, APE, FLAC, WMA Lossless, 3GP, RM, RMVB, MPEG2, MPEG4, VOB.
- G-sensor (accelerometre)
- Microphone
- Improved HO over the T51
 
 
Only two of these statements are untrue.

I am looking forward to the improved HO, the massive file support and the hi-rez support. BUT i hope stuff like GPS, WiFi, the G-sensor will be let out. This stuff only eats up battery life.
 
Windows 5-6.x = slow
 
Not that I want to break the fun here, but I kind of have the feeling that the T59 will be complete different from the photo we saw. Also the specs are pretty vague...

The GPS is a bit weird, does the sound quality take you to a different planet?

I'm not so sure about it sounding better than it's competitors, it's all subjective and until we can hear it for ourselves it's all heresay. While I enjoyed the sound of the T51 it did leave some things to be desired. One big issue was channel imbalance and I sure hope they get that issue worked out. :rolleyes:

 

[kiteki]

Lol channel imbalance?
 
They use a seperate DAC for each channel you know, show me another DAP that does that.
 
 
So lee... you like the HiFiMAN better huh?

 

[lee730]

You sure bet I like the 601 The one complaint I have about the 601 is that the UI is so basic and simple,'oh wait that's a plus Im actually glad that I had so many issues with my sflo2s otherwise I would have never tried the 601. Even with the channel imbalance (Anaxilus confirmed this) the T51 is a great sounding player. When I A & B'd the Sflo2 with the 601 there was really no reason for me to keep the Sflo2 anymore not to mention if I decided to keep it I would be stuck with it's defect (8 hour charging time).

 

[kiteki]

 
Please give me more detail so I know your stance, what HP/IEM did you use in the A/B, and what did you like more on the HM-601?

 

[Inks]

I personally liked the S:flo2 a lot more than the 601 and 602. The Hifimans are nice if you want your sound very colored in favor of mids and bass. To me, the S:flo2 was more accurate, dynamic and had a bigger presence.
