Bring back an extra one and mark up below the MSRP in Japan but higher than in China. This way you can offset the ticket and have a free trip ? Lol

I was reading that earlier and i was surprised by the price. Hopefully they will stick with the original price of 2600 usd, so probably in UK will be £2600.
We shall see.

Wasn't the price tag of $2.6k paid in China and purchased by someone who was friends with someone else working at Lotoo? Unless I'm mistaken...

The price spread is pretty big, I don't know 100% but think US price will be arond $3k-$3.1k

PAW Touch gets a Japan release date of 25th October. Costing 450,000yen ex tax (4000USD).

Not sure how it's almost like 50% more expensive than the Chinese price. Perhaps the tariffs hiked the price?

The one sold in japan is made in japan, the one sell in china is made in china, that's how

r2r2000 could have been most portable mini dap but hifiman really blew by putting no R&D to it.
Beside being small it has horrible user interfaces. Short battery life was bad but having
no physical skip button was a major turn off...having to turn on the screen just skip the track
every time. come on bro... LGPT is the next smallest unit I could find at this caliber so I am
very much interested in hearing more about it....

Hmm, just heard something interesting, for you guys/gals to be aware of. Apparently, LPGT sold in China will come only with Chinese language and you won't be able to upgrade it to fw version with other languages.

Ahhhhh...someone follows Sony examples...lol. That ruined so many plans

It doesn't make sense two have different versions, since people mentioned that the chinese version has English in the menu, however we shall see an international release next month.
Hopefully won't see significant delays since this the only music player i like apart from the Tera Player.

It makes sense if they flash different firmware for different countries if they have plans to support country specific streaming services, which I believe Lotoo had hinted at but not promised?

Do Lotoo have a UK distributor yet?

I don't think Tidal will ever be supported, unless you stream it from your phone, LDAC is supported.

None that i am aware of, but AMP3 used to sell them.

There's more than Tidal when it comes to streaming services around the world, not to mention Tidal is not accessible within China. While within China itself there are already a bunch of other streaming services, which are also not accessible outside of China.

Put those two together and that's a pretty strong case for having different firmware for different countries.
