He meant that the Z1 is being sold at close to 200 bucks while the virtually identical G1 is half the price,

But to me, he phrased Z1 is a rebranded one from G1 selling @$200.....

Penon Audio confirmed to me via email that G1 and Z1 use the same PCB board. (same player) with different casing and UI.

Well Z1 has hardware volume buttons which is always a plus.

The M2 will be launched soonish (in Shanling's word) and it comes equipped with one(?) CS4398 as its DAC chip. That's all for now!

IMO, that DAP should appropriately be compared against trans-portable stacks, since it is so rediculously heavy for a supposedly 'pocket' DAP device.
 
I'm sure it sounds nice, but it's not really fair to compare it to much lighter (and more compact) DAPs. The Lotoo PG is already tipping the scales too far, at 280g, but tries to claw-back some credibility with exceptional build quality and fairly compact dimensions (except thickness, I suppose). HM901 and DX100 are also pocket-wreckers... (DX100 is 265g)

 

[Mython]

...actually, speaking of the DX100....
 
I wonder if there is any activity in iBasso's skunkworks, to bring a replacement for the DX100?
 
Or perhaps iBasso have gone to sleep, after releasing the DX90 and pulling the DX100 (I hope not!)
 
 
Things have been extremely quiet in iBasso land, this past few months.
