does its dac is the same for usb and standalone player?

 

[average_joe]

Wow, looks impressive. And an OPA627 op amp, my favorite!

 

[burgunder]

I have for some time wondered why nobody made a player like this, but now it's here, it'll be interesting to see the first reviews.

now that looks good but the price!!! ouch

seeing as its modular how about a hdd option than just sdhc cards?

 

[MarcusL]

Finally!!!

Can't wait to see real life pics as well as battery runtime for FLAC > Coaxial/USB DAC out.

Interesting to see how it will fare against a RockBoxed H-1xx with a D10. Certainly smaller and with larger capacity.

 

[nsx_23]

Hmm, $600????

I'd buy a pair of speakers for that.

 

[ramintop]

"HIFIman" hehe very original!

what is the output power, anybody knows?

 

[Punnisher]

Let's hope it has gapless.

 

[nsx_23]

Lets hope the price tag was a typo.

 

[Punnisher]

Heh, I seriously doubt it. It said the head-fi preorder price was 600.

If I were going to be spending that much, I'd take a serious look at the pacemaker as well. Fortunately, I have enough portable players to last several lifetimes.
