There will be a dock for the RS8 with RCA, optical, coaxial, XLR out. Too bad RS8 does not have separate DC power to bypass the internal battery, so it can't be used as a permanent desktop DAC AMP setup like the Fiio M17.

From my understanding, it looks like the "dock" can be use for other player. I'm not sure the whether the USB port out power and take digital input there.
But if the USB output power, then theorically they can run desktop mode. Attached more photo from their weibo page.

Thx!
Now please someone translates 😉
The bit rate specs look amazing!
1.5 MHz PCM and DSD1024
So far I've seen that only on my desktop Holo Audio DAC

Titanium chassis is the only version of it ?
As far as I'm aware, it's only Titanium. No mention of a special edition like R8.

Also, it's features Darwin II, which from what I deciphered from the screens, is far more advanced than what we've seen in the RS6.

I hope to have English screens to share with you by tomorrow.
