I got confirmation that, despit numerous requests since the prototype has been showed, there will not be a Tiltling screen. It is too late to change the design

On the other hand when they wrote me " It will support streaming services such as Roon and AirPlay as well as a Lotoo exclusive wireless technology. »., I really wonder what is this " Lotoo exclusive wireless technology." ?? Any idea what it could be ?

Maybe a Lotoo-exclusive app. Probably similar to Hiby with their own player (but the Hiby player is not exclusive). Lotoo might have developed an exclusive streaming app for their OS.

Could also be a higher res proprietary wireless protocol like HiBy’s UAT.

I've read on Weibo, price is 40,000 RMB.

OK, but a device using a "proprietary protocol" need to communicate with another device using the same "proprietary protocol" ! So, if Mjolnir uses a "proprietary protocol", what hardware will be able to be used with ??

I think think it is portable but more transportable. The handle you see is to give it a Nagra field recorder look.
The two companies have a long history together.

well look at there...once Hifi Rose made that Nagra amp homage...now everyone is on the bandwagon for a statement rig.

I can read WLAN Address..... So it has WIFI Thus Streaming is possible...

it better have wifi at that price or its a waste of money and tech

Major difference is Lotoo (infomedia, parent company) have a long history with Nagra. They were the OEM for Nagra and actually did lot of their R&D.

Yes, it would be necessary to have an app to control the main player functions remotely.

Such an app will be a great addition, and will definitively position the Mjolnir as a home music server in addition to also being a great transportable DAP...

BTW here is a new picture from Lotoo's facebook page. It help to realize the size difference with a standard pocktable DAP ! :

Does that imply battery powered as well...?

Apparently 90Wh battery with expected run time of 8hrs

Seems NO Wifi Streaming unfortunately...

It does have BT and WiFi

For anyone interested, Lotoo told me that they will have a Mjölnir prototype available to demo at the @MusicTeck table (B4-B7) at Canjam NYC.

Mjölnir is not quite in the final production version yet, but is already looking very, very good:

Looking forward Mjölnir's CanJam NYC 2023 Impressions

For the best impresions you need to come to CanJam London. Hopefully Lotoo will be there.
