With the R2R2K family, if you were lucky enough to find a good one, it certainly was a keeper. HM1000 sounds different.

HM1000 has a better DAC output, you really need an amp to enjoy it.
The R2R2K family as a package offered great dynamic sound without the need of an amp.
Truly portable, for me easy one handed operation.
I miss mine so much.

Very much agree very nice sound indeed for such a small package, beating out a lot of the larger DAP's with ease. A lot of the better sounding DAP's these days seem to be more gravitating to being transportable, rather than portable.

Out of curiosity, which one would make you more happy? R2R2K?

R2R2K for me as I don't want my player to be dependant on a secondary device.

A DAP fan from ifi? Interesting!

I heard a rumor that iFi is going to release a DAP in May. Looking forward to it.

Fake news, honestly

But aside of iFi work, I'm an enthusiast just as everyone else in here. Prior to joining iFi I was all about DAPs

Go on be a devil, we all need more R2R DAP's

I don't really want a dap anymore, for me the future is a HUGO 2 size DAC/Amp that can pair with my tablet. No DAP can replace the functionality of my tablet.

True, but a tad difficult to fit in the shirt pocket LOL.

I know, right ? But in all fairness, DAPs aren't our thing. Perhaps one day we'll make one, but this won't happen soon.
