It has two firmwares. One developed by Rockbox. It also has balanced out. T1 was developed for two years.

This is a Walnut F2 killer.

Is it a Zishan DSD killer too?

Woah, that's a hell of a DAP. Rollable op amp, LPF, even changeable DAC module. 2.5mm BAL output? Check. Usable screen? Check. Type C? Check. 32bit/768kHz playback? Check. Native DSD? Check (thanks AKM). Pocketable size? Check. But USB DAC? Can't see so far. Really looking for further replies from the seller.

I guess zishan is either from walnut or against walnut, as zishans do share similarities with walnuts. T1 is quite similar as walnut v3, but better.

Sadly, there's no Line port on the T1. Unlike walnuts, zishans aren't really capable to act as an AMP. That's why Z1 is the only model that can does that so far, yet the AMP feature is doesn't do well.

But, again, changeable DAC module... I have never seen this kinda circuit design so far, yet ZiShan did it. I hope the implementation works well.

Edit: I do think it's the DSD killer so far...

Guys, I started a new thread that focuses on the T1 alone. Let's discuss it here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/zishan-t1-hi-fi-player-thread.911795/

PM me if there's a ZiShan T1 thread that other than mine is already exists.

What is the conclusion at the end of august in 2019, are there any worthwhile mods for the Z1, I'm actually very happy with the vanilla/default/stock setup. But curious, I'm treble sensitive. If so, which ones?

@Ivan TT Did you ever make the post?

I wish zishan maker release a new firmware for Z1. Atleast fix the cut-off 1 second on track/song. Or add Ogg Vorbis or Opus audio format.

Did you ever play with the EQ? There’s about 180 EQ settings...I’m about to put a Burson V5i into my Zishan Z1 and Walnut V2S...

You're right it's .4, looked at my desktop and saw the zip folder...couldn't remember...

0.4 is the latest firmware

if anyone still looks for the latest firmware in 2019, and doesn't like baidu cloud (I couldn't figure out how to download from there), it's here:
