Mid March is here, so I hope most important update is on its way and only few days are left ; - )

Hope there will be an update FW soon!

Hope there will be an update FW soon!

Within a few days, Hidizs will say it will be released in April, I believe.

I just wanted to check in with you guys and hear what the situation is regarding my agreement with you.

10 months ago you guys approached me and requested for me to help you out with the Arabic translation for your AP200 product page, and in exchange you offered to send me an AP200 review unit once they are available. I thought that was really nice of you (as I would've helped out even if you hadn't offered to send any review unit), so I offered to also correct the English text for you (the exact wording of which you had then used, and continue to use today, not only on the product pages for the AP200 and AP60 II, but also on numerous social media posts).

Since then I had contacted you once a month to check in on the progress of the AP200, but the last time I heard any response was back in September.

In my September email I requested if a review unit of the AP60 II would be available, to which you asked which colour should be sent.

Well, here we are in March 2018, and still no Hidizs products.

So please could you just inform me about whether or not you intend to honour our initial agreement.

Of course me, too.
But, they said they will fix the DAC out bug soon, in last November. In This January, they will fix it in the end of the month. And in February, they will fix it in the end of this month, again. According to their comment for excuse, they do not have an enough skill to develop the firmware of android OS.
So I can expect nothing any more.

Seems I may have been fortunate and dodged a lemon! Unsubbing.

Love mine. Not a lemon to me. Cayin N3 is still my overall favorite though.

 

[emthered]

I may be wrong, but it seems that there is something about the way the hardware is implemented that is making the software side of things difficult. I find it hard to believe that their software designers are incompetent. There must be something more to this than we know. The software engineers should have come up with solutions for most of the problems by now. I too am trying to sell mine on reverb for 3 weeks now - no takers.

Isn't the software handled by Hiby? Hiby is pretty busy with their new players. Support for other makers' firmware may not be as high a priority.

 

[Piejesu]

Music Player application is provided from Hiby, but the firmware is developed by Hidizs. They stated before that AP200 is the first Android device for them (all the others are Linux) and developing firmware on android OS is difficult for them.

 

[dlayman]

Cayin is having problems with USB out on N5ii and commented they have been trying to work together with Hiby to solve, but can't commit to a timeline due to Hiby. Hidizs may be in a similar situation.

Really today I wouldn't want to commit to a player that isn't fully developed if it relies on Hiby. Business sense dictates they will devote resources to their own players first.

Cayin N3 is running Hiby software and Hibylink and is a fine DAP, but it is mature and stable.

March is almost over and still no sign of promised mid march update that supposedly was going to bring to the table audio out (usb/digital)
Sad story, so many months have passed and this issue has been not solved yet and it sucks big time

[adn6244]

they are busy milking the DH1000 kickstarter backer. On top of that they are rushing mass drop AP60 Pro. Do you think they will have time for AP200 which they have already bank the cash? Furthermore believe they are not as technical sound in the android os compared to hardware & linux.
