For anyone interested in bluetooth functions, after updating to 0.05, bluetooth headphone control works ok (pause, play, skip track). bluetooth auto pair also works. bluetooth stability i would say is average but usable. i just used this on a jog.

is the AP60 much much better than the Xduoo X3?

My take on the AP60: http://www.head-fi.org/products/hidizs-ap60-hifi-mini-bluetooth-lossless-mp3-portable-music-player-black/reviews/17169

@Hidizs Hk I hope that my review is not seen as offence but rather as constructive criticism on what could be improved on the hardware side. 

 
As soon as the DAC output is enabled, it could be a good and inexpensive transport source, but as a pure audio player to connect headphones/in-ears directly to it, I see some flaws compared to the competition. What I really like though is that the UI is really responsive and well structured and that micro SD cards with 200 GB capacity (exFAT) are immediately and correctly recognised and that the scanning speed is high.

Hi Chris

Thank you for your professional review!

: )

We will deal with the firmware problem asap.

Thanks again!

FYI, since Hidizs never mentioned it anywhere, battery input is 0.5A 5V (both powerbank and USB cable are tested to be able to achieve 2.4A)

Hi Jassed

We have Power Management IC on AP60 to control the electricity.
Thay is why you can charge in 2.4V port on Powerbank

the electricity inside is about 0.5A,5V. As the pircture you offer.


Pls noted.

Thanks

For all of us who couldn't install Tusbaudio drivers in Windows 10 to use AP60 as Dac with Foobar2000, Aimp etc, you have just to disable the drivers signature in Windows 10.
And it works !

hopefully someone will compare this with xdu00 x3 since from what i've been seeing the x3 is the base for great sounding dap on a budget.

Thanks for the tip. Works now with foober2k/ASIO. Surprisingly, the headphone output sounds noticeably better as a DAC than as a DAP.

Got my replacement unit in.  Seems to be pretty solid. 
 
Still two things I'd like to see changed.
 
1.  Disable being able to delete from player in the options menu.  I have never wanted to deleted a song from within my mp3 player, so at least give me the option so I don't accidentally do it.
2.  Most important.  Give us the option to use the volume buttons as next/previous.  This will make this player legendary for gym use inside a pocket.

You're welcome Purplesun.

Firmware 0.05 onward added volume button track forwarding
