What are some good DAPS that are music players only (no Android, no wifi, etc) that are actually powerful enough to drive HD6xx, planets, etc?

I don't own any of these two; just sharing based on information here in head-fi and some well established blogs/reviewers.

Can they just release this damn thing?

Maybe in august.

I have been wanting a no fuss offline player with a good battery life and two memory card slots and good sq and reasonable priced.
I didn't pray but somehow Hiby probably heard what I wanted. HS2 has piqued my interest and on top it has R2R implementation, something that I have meaning to explore since their RS series daps and dongle dropped.
If all goes well and if this is officially available in India, then I'm getting this.

Linux or Android based?

Considering the screen size, i guess Linux-based.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are not supported.
The Hi-Res Wireless logo was an error in the prototype and will be removed in the production version.

It was also shown at the Japanese audio show.
Sound quality evaluation is not recommended due to the prototype.
No one has mentioned USB DAC functionality, so it may not be included or not yet implemented.

A dedicated lo? Does it have 2V output?

It's Hiby OS Linux-based. Dual SD Card is excellent, hopefully with unlimited songs. It supports MQA. Since it doesn't have WiFi, I assume OS updates are made through SD Card.

Any more info on this one?

One guy on other forum posted these photos and said, that release in early august.

This looks fantastic, excellent form factor but I need bluetooth so went with RS6. Let's see if sounds good, I might add it to my collection later.

Looks kinda wide, but hard to tell.

Looks a bit like ak100.

 

[Richsvt]

I really liked the AK100 format.

The display is too small to show only 3 songs at a time, so it's impossible to handle a large number of songs on a large SD card!
32GB+32GB is a safe bet.

32+32GB makes no sense at all.
