hopefully hifiman will make a proper dap with their own r2r multibit(?) chip, that could work
Instant buy, Hifiman has its issues, understanding audio isn't one of them by a long chalk :sunglasses:

I still wonder, Is the himalaya chip true multibit r2r? can't seem to find any info about it anywhere.
Don't Know, I was excited to hear Hifiman was releasing a new DAP and equally disappointed soon as I found out it was sans display :rolling_eyes: instantly lost interest. Worse, now on two occasions. Hifiman wants my $$$$ the player must have a display and be a standalone product. If not in time, I'll dig deeper and go for a Luxury & Precision R2R DAP.

I know there are other R2R DAP's on the market, but I don't want a mirid of complications. I just want the player to sound amazing out the box. One of the major reasons I ceased with the Sony WM1A/Z custom FW was spending more time fiddling about with settings, analysing the slightest artifact versus simply enjoying the music. I reset my WM1A, switched back to stock 3.02 FW and never looked back. Sounds great across all genres. If I want a different tonality, I just switch the IEM;s and I may flip the region from time to time :)

45 RPM vinyl, ripped to 24/96. R2R2K absolutely kills it :sunglasses:

no other dap has pcm1704uk tho, which is arguebly one of the best dac chips ever made.

have you thought about sending your wm1a for npaudio mods? also, is wm1a multibit? I'm pretty sure it's delta sigma, I'd probably buy it if I knew it's multibit.

what's sans display?

sans display = No display. WM1A is Delta Sigma, but has Sony's touch...

Boot the player, the duel R2R Dac's warm up, then the world changes. Regardless of genre the music is fluid, analogue above all realistic...

after using the r2r2k the entire day battery went from 90% mark to half battery mark.

Needless to say it is a keeper, now I'm only wondering about shanling m8's akm implementation and the hm1000 quad :) wish I had a place around to demo these. Used to wonder about the wm1z too because of the unique S-master, but 250mw@16ohms.. that is pretty disappointing.
