I mean the older official firmware releases that some may have retained. As for cases there's multiple on the thread, if in the East search Taobao, if in the West search AliExpress. Any small flat battery bank will suffice, add double sided Velcro you've a solution to a problem.
I also think that HM won't release the new fw during that time. They said that They didn't have a plan to make it
I recognize r2r2k is still the beta fw since it have been received. So sad
True, there may be a misrepresentation of Beta, equally Hifiman has clearly opted to move on with the HM1000 of which I have no interest as it has no DAP capability. If Hifiman produces another R2R DAP I may consider equally the poor software support is very off-putting. Striking me as being lazy and unconcerned with the end user, all of which is a loss as the R2R2K does sound genuinely very good...I also think that HM won't release the new fw during that time.

man the software isn't even that bad. i'm genuinely still bummed about the battery lol, when it's plugged into a charging device it has a tiny hiss, first world problems i know but i really do wish it was a more complete dap. would've been a killer product, idk what hifiman is doing to be honest, they have (well, had) a goldmine in their hands and idk how they threw all that to the trash.
I found that the R2R2K can be a little noisy on a mains AC charger, on a power bank mine is silent.
What is the advantage of the older firmware in your opinion?
Without access don't know
differing tuning etc. much would depend on the feature's and stability.
You can read earlier in this thread that they did not change much through the firmware updates. They just added some bug fixes and the eco mode - that`s about it. UnfortunatelyWithout access don't know
Q-6
. Don`t think there are any advantages of the older firmware, its just buggier.
I don't know some have stated different, equally without access to the older FW versions it is what it is...You can read earlier in this thread that they did not change much through the firmware updates. They just added some bug fixes and the eco mode - that`s about it. Unfortunately
About SQ - from what I have experienced in this hobby there are only very few examples that a maker has truly changed the sound of a DAP via firmware. It has happened so many times in this forum that people stated they hear a difference after a firmware update, but then the maker itself raised its hand and negated, that this cannot be the case. So I doubt that Hifiman has changed anything here...but of course in they end only they know.
Not to say that I wouldn`t be as happy as you if there was an update!
Wonderful pictures!A quick drop since I am selling the "little Red Devil" (here) actually.
Just because I am listening mostly to my tube amp lately being @home, and it's at risk of taking dust
Even though I own the unit by myself I always forget how stunning it (especially the red one) looks! I actually prefer it’s curved and minimalistic look and tiny body to the predecessor HM1000, which looks somehow bulkier imo. The R2R2000 won a design award for a reason!
I should think that Hifiman will just replace the R2R2000 with a new model. Still remains a great sounding player, equally need to live with it's downsides; battery life, defunct BT & basic UI.
