It got dropped off at lunch, which means no pretty pictures since I'm at work and only have my phone for a camera and a messy desk, but so far so good.
Don't care for the Hiby music player at all (tried to like it before I got the AP200, didn't fly), so I'm using Shuttle.

Where can I activate dac-in mode? Couldn't find it in the settings.
You need to use notification menu and push "Internal storage" button
It change usb mode
And install driver on your PC of course

Thanks a lot. That worked like a charm. No drivers needed for Mac, immediately recognized as "AP200".

This is common with Windows 10 and DAC drivers. In order to install the driver you will need to do an "Advanced Startup" and boot without without driver signature enforcement.
hello i received the ap200 this morning and sometimes if i move the ap200 it starts to make a white noise in the left channel....then if i adjust the 3.5mm heaphone plug the noise is gone sometimes and others times starts poping noise ,is there someone with the same problem?
On the website Hidizs the reference 0.21 beta has appeared. On downloading it isn't available.

Finally received my unit (32GB Black Aluminum) yesterday after about a 1 month wait from the time it shipped. Came with firmware 1.8. Had difficulty upgrading to 2.0. It didn't like the 200gb Sandisk (exfat format)- it would fail to mount this card upon update reboot - even though it reads the card fine when operating normally. So I ended up putting the firmware on a old 2gb card formatted in fat32 and that worked.
The sound of the AP200 is a little less spacious than the Shanling M3s (similarly priced - I purchased both). The M3s seems to separate the instruments in recordings better with a little more clarity. They both seem to have similar output power. The EQ on the AP200 actually affects the sound more than the EQ on the M3s. But the EQ on the AP200 crashed several times as I was trying to alter the curve - you can't go too fast or it just freezes and crashes. I also had the bass distortion problem (discussed earlier in this thread) but it was only for a moment and then it went away.
I don't like that you can't adjust the volume when the screen is off. However you can advance tracks by double clicking the transport/volume rocker when the screen is off. I'm not a fan of the transport/volume rocker combination. I hope Hidizs will address the volume issue in an upcoming firmware update.
The aluminum sides seem to act as a heat sink and got warm to the touch under normal operation (but you can't feel the warmth when the case is on). The glass on both sides stayed cool to the touch. Wifi operation is good up to about 40 feet with walls. Haven't tried to use Bluetooth yet. The Android system is not as snappy as I would like - it's just ok.
Overall I like the AP200 but it's definitely a work in progress. And I don't know how much can be addressed through firmware. We'll see...

This link works, but the update.img file gives a data error when you try to extract.

Update files will (as you discovered) only work in fat32 formatted storage, in case you don't want the hassle of switching cards, jyst save the update file in the internal dap storage and it'll work just the same.
I have the same eq problem, I've reported it, i suggest you do the same so it'll get recognized and hopefully fixed in the next update.
Same sentiments and issue, though volume does work in screen closed, you need to press the button +/- once, wait half a second, press, again (avoiding the skip/previous effect) and repeat, it's a slow process but it works. My ocness is triggered by the volume - as the skip and volume + as rewind, it feels reversed to me
My stainless steel warms up a fair bit when high amp charging (2a), also when on high gain, high volume and power hungry headphones (he400i) but I consider it a bit normal.
Wifi and Bluetooth should have no isses but their ranges are a bit shorter than mobile phones (maybe to conserve power). Not sure this may help snappiness, but when i first got the ap200, it felt a bit slow in most functions, i erased nand and factory reset the device. It became more comfortable in usage for a quad core 1ghz device.
Most of the current issues can be fixed with firmware updates, if hidizs knows what our issues are through reporting at their support email.
Love this player but I agree having to turn on screen to adjust volume is a pain
