What's the point? I asked one of my electronics teacher about this, he told me they probably didn't bypass the whole amp section but still use the pre-amp stage, unlike Fiio X3 and the new AK lineup.

If it's like the iBasso units, the DAC chip.itself has a digital volume control which is also used by the player. So adjustable line out, bypassing the headphone amp, is perfectly normal.

Hidizs need a pure firmware or enhanced firmware version like qls's pure wav firmware.
1- Only wav, flac and dsd. No lossy support. If hidizs plays dsd natively, (heavy breathing) :D
2- No album artwork, no eq, no unnecessarry features. Src and Hidizs Mode optional in settings.
3- Completely new coax menu. I think coax should work only in a coax menu. In normal fw, Coax detection always run in the background and coax decrease the battery life. I found another issue. Src won't work with coax.
4- 3 step gain option like, 0-16 ohm, 16-100ohm, 100-300 ohm
5- 256gb sdxc support. I can test :wink:
6- Fixed lineout.
7- Usb mode selector. ( Charging or data transfer) Any possibility for usb dac mode? Usb to coax convertors decrease sound quality. I'm not very hapy with coax convertors.

I believe, after all these hidizs' sq increased dramatically.

 I will share my impressions. Thank you. I'm waiting for you to raised capacity support.
 
Last of all i have a question. Can sd to micro sd convertors work with hidizs? Because i'm going to buy these kind of converters /w 256Gb Pny Sd. 
 
Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sintech-SDHC-SD-card-to-micro-SD-TF-extension-adapter-FPC-cable-for-mobile-phone-/221149974785?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item337d90d101

Installed the laest FW and I like what I am seeing already. This is so much better than before. Now I have yet to do some listening and I hope the SQ is better as well.

I also noticed that my battery level is 2 bars before updating and it became 3 bars after the update. LOL. Will report back later.

We don't recommend to use this kind of converter.
And the max. external capacity is 128Gb.

  USB DAC function not working on Windows 8.1, the driver is not installing.

I didn't try the usb-dac function yet but check this.  https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/disabling-driver-signature-on-windows-8/disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8

Please, excuse me if it has already been explained!
 
How do I change the firmware?
 
On Hidizs site there are instructions in Chinese only and the translation of Google Translate is complete mess.
 
Thanks!
