Not surprising, they just abandoned the first gen Ap60 with bugs. Used lot of Ali coupons to get it when first new so got it cheaper.

For one, Bluetooth controls only work if the Bluetooth setting screen is on when screen turns off.

Also auto off not working when Bluetooth disconnected.

Then the touch controls that are nowhere near correct, now finding out about the aptx

Yes it has but Fiio BTR1 has no AptX-HD so connection between those two is regular AptX. I'm not expert so it's just my deduction.

Oops, thinking abut the new BTR3...

@mikp It's possible to use AP60 II firmware on 1st gen. but it only brings HiBy Link functionality, and a buggy clock. Also, there is some problems with navigation buttons, mostly Left/Right in main menu, but everything else (excluding apt-X) works fine.

 

[mikp]

So, not really worth it then. More buggy controls

I got my A60II today ordered from AliExpress and delivered to the UK in eleven days from start to finish. It includes the case and an arm band and and some IEMs so is good value at £89.50.

I only navigate via folders so I transferred the SD Card from my Shanling M1 and found I didn’t need the instructions at all as it’s so simple to use and I prefer it to the M1 as I never really got on with the wheel function. Having physical buttons suits me and everything is well thought out and very fast.

It does Gapless, which is vital for me, and you can choose if folders skip play or not. It orders files correctly without needing a utility and it continues playing, when you turn it on, from where you stopped without any extra button pressing required. Frankly it does everything I want from a small DAP and it sounds great as well.

It’s beautifully made and looks good and I can read the text on the Now Playing screen which I really struggle to do on the M1.

I’ve got it on the Low Gain setting and it drives my IEMs with plenty of volume in reserve.

Really excellent little player.

Really excellent little player.

Congrats! It is nice indeed... Pair it with Seeds IEMs - and it would be even better

This, Shanling M0, Shanling M2s. Best dap overall? Best vfm?

Don't have Shanling to compare to. If you'd read through this thread you'd find that couple of people stated that they like AP60 more

I would take the M2s over the AP60II on the basis of USB-C and better Bluetooth implementation.

On the AP60II has anyone managed to turn the clock off? I know there is a setting that says “Clock off” but it makes no difference and the clock still appears.

Is there any firmware update for this Player and Is there anyone having issues when charging the player? I tried charging the device for almost overnight and its still showing not fully charge.

I'm running the 1.12 beta firmware (available on the site). I haven't seen any issues with charging, not even on the previous two firmware iterations.

@kenloveme - Any chance we're going to see some of the audiobook/podcast features or M3U loading features that are in (or promised for) the AP80 get ported to the AP60II? I know the hardware is very different, but Hiby builds the software for both, and I'd hate to think that the AP60II has been orphaned so soon.
