The price-speculation does no good. The talk of a $1k price-point will inevitably lead to... a $1k MSRP.

Anyone know where I can find official stuff on iBasso in Chinese ? I can try to translate some of them if new info is released.

 

[Mython]

Surely that's what the English iBasso news page is there for..?

A lot of people seems to be getting random information from Chinese sites, thats why I'm asking.

Yeah, it wasn't meant as a 'dig' at you; not personal at all. I merely meant that I don't see why it would be any more helpful to translate speculation from Chinese to English than it already is to speculate in English - speculation is pretty useless, whatever the originating language
 
When iBasso wish to release accurate information, they'll do so on their English news page just as soon as they do so in Chinese.
 
So all we have to do is extremely simple - just sit, wait, and watch iBasso's website news page..

And you translating said 'random information' will only make things worse. Mython is right - sit tight and focus on something else for a couple of weeks. For me, thats CoD:MW3 and BF3, two games I put off all year long just so that I will have an 'exciting' Xmas, without boredom and family members making me wish I was back at work. 

 
Read a book, start a herb garden, get a tattoo - 2 more weeks and all will be revealed.

I'm not sure why you think I'd make it worse 

 Google translate seems have confused a lot of people , making them think that guesses are from official sources.

Enjoy your games, MW3 is definitely my favourite

I'm enjoying MW3, but the screenshots from BF3 just look so much better, and I havent read a single bad review of the game yet - if Skyrim hadnt been released in 2011, I suspect that BF3 would have been THE game of 2011. Big call, and I know shooters arent everyone's genre, but thats the way I see it.

I think it will be either $1200+, or it will be $200-300.
 
In China, I don't think ~$500 products can sell, since the rich don't want it, and the normal people can't afford it.
 
Look at Colorfly, they have a $1K DAP, and several $199 DAP's (CK4, CK5, CK3?)
 
Hifiman, $799, then $259.
 
Smartphones, $900 or $100, etc.

What is SRC ?

Indeed. With a steel reinforced concrete function, this is going to be one robust DAP. Then again, if this just refers to sample rate conversion, that will be useful.

I just wrote Ibasso to ask if this could mean "SouRCe" - as in usb dac...
