DMP-Z1 ?I will on Tuesday next week
Will certainly compare with DMP-Z1

Strangely no one has mentioned this thus far. But here is the link to LP’s Weibo’s page:

google translate. You can also go the blog and there is option to translate:
“Although the LP6 series has been on the market for several years, its "flagship status" has not faded. Because the output is high and the size of the potentiometer is limited, some audiophiles with sensitive hearings report that the LP6 has a larger bias sound when used with moving iron earplugs. To alleviate this problem, we start directly from the potentiometer and provide a new customized volume adjustment solution.
The good news for "obsessive-compulsive disorder" - -70dB left and right channel error is only 2dB
Among several mainstream small-volume volume adjustment solutions suitable for portable players on the market, carbon film potentiometers have more volume levels and finer adjustments than step potentiometers; compared with the internal attenuation of DACs, they do not sacrifice dynamic details. , there will be no additional noise and distortion, and the noise and signal will be attenuated year-on-year. However, carbon film potentiometers generally have the problem of unbalanced low-volume sound channels, and there will be noise after long-term use.
This time, Lebi's new customized carbon film potentiometer will greatly reduce the problem of low volume bias. Especially for the LP6Ti and 7th Anniversary Edition, which have greater thrust than the LP6 Gold Edition, the greater thrust means that the volume must be attenuated more when used with highly sensitive earplugs, which can better take advantage of the new potentiometer.
Super performance under mini size - potentiometer, also carefully selected and matched
High performance/small size is not only difficult to design HiFi players, but also for potentiometers. The performance of large desktop potentiometers is good because there is more space to accommodate related components, but they are also too large to be used in portable players.
Through special circuit design and careful matching, the left and right channel error of the customized potentiometers of the LP6 series reaches -70db at 2db. At the same time, the body is only as compact as an RK09, making it very suitable for portable players.
After actual testing, we confirmed that this custom potentiometer will be used in the LP6 series and provide the following upgrade service plan:
Users of any model of the LP6 series (LP6 titanium/LP6 gold/LP6 platinum/LP6 titanium 7th anniversary), please contact customer service (V: LPGFSH) and mail the machine to our company for customized potentiometer modification. As a bonus, the whole machine will be extended by 1 Annual warranty, the cost is 999 yuan, and the event registration period is within one month from the date of release.
Note: This customized potentiometer renewal plan is a modification service. The commercially available LP6 gold version still uses the original specially selected ALPS RK09 potentiometer.
Thanks!”

It's only open to China

I applied right away from wechat, their CS manager told me only for local market.
Rather very disappointing, but it is what it is .

Really? Oh well. In any event, I am sure they will extend to ROW in due course.

I have spoken to Wan at LP. He has in turn checked with CS. There is no restriction to the Chinese market.
However, the caution is that shipping and customs clearance will be the customer’s responsibility.
Hope that clears the air for overseas customers.

Ultimate Selection & Platinum Sound Tuning, the "PocketHiFi Flagship" L&P P6PRO Ti 99 Limited Edition is released!
Two years after the P6PRO was launched, its "ultimate flagship" has finally appears. Introducing the P6PRO Ti99, which combines the essence of L&P's high-end DAP technology. Only 99 units will be released worldwide, price to be confirmed.
Why only 99 units?
As the first discrete R2R DAP — the ultimate version of the P6 series, the technical challenge of the Ti99 is how to "further improve" based on the PRO version. Note that the dynamics of the P6PRO are equal to having two P6s running in parallel. In the end, after a lot of precisely selection and matching, the overall dynamics of the Ti99 increased by 2dB compared to the PRO version. Due to the difficulty of selecting and matching resistors with such precision, only 99 units were produced.
Now it's even more powerful and better suited for IEMs！
As the most powerful model in the P series, the Ti99 not only put a lot of effort into its 202 resistors but also made many changes and upgrades in the analog amplification circuits. For instance, the op-amp was upgraded to the same model as the LP6Ti 7th anniversary edition; the inclusion of the LP6 Platinum firmware "adds a touch of finesse" to the listening experience, especially suitable for ACG music. The "limited-edition sound tuning" returns once again.
Brings back the classic 7th-anniversary casing craftsmanship?
In terms of casing craftsmanship, the P6PRO Ti99, also limited to 99 units, uses the same techics as the LP6Ti 7th anniversary edition. This includes a light-weighted and sturdy grade-five titanium frame, a colorful titanium color printing process, a traditional Japanese Echizen lacquered rosewood backpanel, and a leather case handcrafted from Italian veg-tanned waxed leather. It's useful, delicate, textured, and fun to play with.
The next-gen pocket-sized device for audiophiles?
While achieving better performance and sound tuning, the size of the P6PRO Ti99 remains the same as the original P6PRO, and its weight is still less than 300 grams. It offers powerful sound quality for on-the-go use.

Overhyped device, SP3000. sounds better for me.
Does that mean you've already had the opportunity to hear the P6Pro Ti99 and compare it to the SP3000?
I am curious, since nobody else here already had the chance to listen to it, I guess.
