Yes that is true enough i forgot about the holidays.

i have amended above post of mine seems it is a charger issue it does not like samsung or lg phone chargers fast charge etc

That isn't unusual as different manufacturers use different voltages and amperage for fast charging. Despite claims of compataility, I try not to mix chargers or cords. I messed up a phone doing that. A 1 volt 2 amp charger is generally safe for most devices, but cords don't seem to be universal to me. Despite the delay in release, Hidizs seems to be performing very much above the norm for crowdfunded DAP's. I still don't trust crowdfunding after my experience with Echobox, but these guys seem solid. If the release of the device is delayed by a month by the Golden Week, that beats what I experienced by about a year and a half. I might sound like a fanboy but am not, I never ask for or would want a "review sample", as many do here. Was never a fan of Hidizs as I prefer more established makers, but I like what this company is doing. If the device is solid, I plan to purchase at full retail price as it is very reasonable.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 charger works just fine with everything I have

I did not follow Echobox at all, so I have no idea how that went, but Hidizs are going really well if you ask me. My DAP collection is too big to be the fanboy of any company, I just like to write about all of them nowadays. Picture for proof, and because some might be wondering how AP200 looks like, in comparison to other recent and well-renown DAPs

Haha, you win... I only have 2 DAPs (M1 ans M2s). I would like an Android based DAP that would allow me to stream music. If I could get an Andoid based DAP the size of the Shanling M2s, I'd be satisfied.

Woah, I imagine that browsing something so small would be a bit complicated if it were Android based. AP200 is the smallest Android-based DAP I have at the moment (the one in the center)

Eh, can't be much different than browsing your music on the M2s or the even smaller M1 DAP, and would be great at the gym and for running (my main use).

Can anyone tell my if the AP200 sports HibyLink like the Shanling M2s? If a small Android DAP supported HibyLink that would be even better.

AP200 supports most features of Hiby and what isn't supported yet is supposed to come to AP200

EDIT::: At this moment, Hiby sees AP200 as RK3188 on Mi Max 2, but it doesn't connect yet. I have a feeling that this will be solved via a firmware upgrade, but until then I can't say anything else.

All CD’s ripped to FLAC (1000+)
Some new HDTrack purchases
256 MicroSD purchased (Sandisk Ultra 256)
New IEMs (TFZ My Love II)
Hidiz AP200

Ready and waiting!

Judging by Hidizs' last official post we likely wont see anything until the end of October at best. But it's encouraging to see them make progress!

one or even two months delays are ok with me, man I experienced some serious delays like 7-8 months and even a year with some other manufacturers , so i am totally cool with that

Patience is a virtue they say but it not for me

I am sure you'll be deligthed by AP200 - Hidizs is working hard on it and they keep improving it! There is another software update right after the corner, they are doing tons of efforts to bring good working DAPs to their fans - and I love to see this.

Following everything they promised, everything seems to work well so far

I’m actually ok with them taking a little extra time to get it right... software/hardware...

I’m just annoyed with myself for taking so long getting into this stuff, because if I had, I probably would have had an other HiFi DAP to use while I was waiting for this one

I am enjoying the FLAC playback over the MP3 on the iPhone in the meantime.

iPhone plays FLAC?

iOS 11 now supports FLAC natively... but yeah I use Plex or HibyMusic direct from my server. Works great!

Sounds like a neat low-price option on the DAP market. They could have saved the space and cost for the bluetooth hardware, though. DAPs are a niche-product for cable lovers.

Agreed. A second usb for charging/HDD would be a killer though.
