By default iBasso Android DAPs don't come with Google Play store, but they DO now have pre-installed APKPure and CoolAPK app stores that function similar to Google Play - you search, download, and install the app you need. I assume hack/mod is in reference to Lurker's fw which adds Google Play. But now, you don't even have to wait for it or if you are not comfortable installing it, just use APKPure and CoolAPK.

Thanks for the details.

It requies from you to download APK file and install it manually, as there are no Google Play services. No hacks/mods here.

The mid-tier DAP market is so competitive right now.

It is indeed. Lots of stuff to choose from and many good options to go with.

How does it compare to the m11?

FYI, on DX160, Neutron supports bit perfect playback of both PCM and DSD. UAPP plays bit perfect PCM with recommended settings, but has to be updated for DSD.

As a rule, iBasso do not give specific release dates, as unexpected hitches can happen which - if they've specified a certain date - could cause frustrating delays and negativity.
So their policy seems to be that they announce the product as 'forthcoming' first.
Then they start sending out review samples.
Around the same time, they release it in their local market in order to discover and fix any issues which may have missed
After this, they release it Internationally.

Review samples have already been sent out, and if I read correctly, it seems it's already been released in China.
So based on all that, I'd imagine it should be released in the next 2 - 8 weeks.
I'm not an iBasso employee, so obviously I can't say for sure, but that seems like a reasonable estimation, based on historical patterns
