And some updated GUI/Mango shots (two different album views, new volume animation, 5 Sound Modes, 5 Digital Filters, EQ, etc).

I am thai. And willing to translate.

First part, he just unboxes stuff out and talk about design and button around body. So picture already speaks it self.

Middle part, he said about overall sound.
It has 5 filter: sharp roll off, slow roll off etc.

Slow roll off make smoother sound
Sharp makes more speed but thinner sound.

2 gain options -low and high

Sound mode (not EQ)
Original neutral. Forward mid
Classical wider sound stage, better treble but thinner
Natural good for acoustic
Tradition smooth sound
Reference: he likes it very much. Best separation and transparency.

Last part, he talks about file format, dac used, total hr playable and price and where to try and buy.
Thanks. He said 10-18 hours playback depending on usage right?

Didn't get to that yet, finished burn in, will do listening over the weekend. Impressive sound performance (and a very wide soundstage) and dual micro-SD support for $300 dap, though keep in mind this is audio playback only, no wifi/BT.

Cool. Thanks, looking forward to it.

In a filter tab I see they write " Origional" ...

It was intended to have an extra "o", to give you earOrgasm :D Why else do you think George is so in love with it just by looking at a picture?

Anyone knows the output impedance and whether it has USB DAC? I'm very curious about the reviews comparing it to Hiby R6 and DX200 as my impression of most AKM implementations is slightly less perceived detail than ESS chips, but I haven't listened to enough DAPs to compare properly. The AKM4452 in the Shanling M1 wasn't implemented that well, but it's interesting here they got the 4495 to perform better than AKM official spec on balanced output.
