Is that a stand alone DAP same as the R2R2000 or just an expansion on the current HM series which is heavily dependant on a Smartphone.

Thx for the reply. If so No Sale, I'll stick with my R2R2K as my preference is for a standalone player, not a slave to another device....

Nice, however remains to be a slave device of which I have zero interest in. As a long-term expat residing in China I can see the attraction.

I also think the r2r chip they're using was developed in house and not a pcm chip.

Unless it's a stand alone player I'm not remotely interested. I'll stick with the R2R2000 which is a very solid DAP barring 1980's UI.
