No, but I just ran across this one on AE the other day too. Interesting for sure...

The Chinese iRiver website is showing four iRiver players: ICM 10; ICM 30; ICM30B and ICM100

http://www.iriver.com.cn/ProductInfoCategory?categoryId=494760&PageInfoId=0

There;'s also an Astell&Kearn section on the same site and that includes the Activo players CT10 and CT 15 - both of which are available on AliE for around$100 and $200 respectively. The ICM100 is also showing up on AliE now and doesn't seem much more expensive than the ICM30. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004736745916.html

This is a good thread. I read most of it and then thought I'd update with the other iRiver stuff I've just come across. Based on the thread I acually decided to go for Ziku HD X10. I like the Cirrus Logic chips it uses and I have several op-amps that I'm keen to roll. It will be interesting to compare the sound quality to the Hidizs AP80 Pro I have and also an old mini disc player which served me well through the great ipod dominance of the early part of the century :)

I hope the Ziku works for you, mine crapped itself. It had a good sound though.

Huh, I assumed those iRiver players were just old things from the pre-A&K days... didn't look into it. Will now.

They look to use USB type C, so must be relatively recent, if not new models

Hi! I'm getting my A55 next week, any luck on finding this? Btw, is there any more info or firmware dl website? Can't find it on RUIZU official website :frowning2:

There are only cases If you buy the Ruizu from Amazon. They are selling It with a case.

Regarding the firmware I have no clue.
But you can upgrade the firmware directly via WiFi with the player.

The JWM-115 is back on Aliexpress. A search will turn them up.
This store has a crapton, and at the cheapest price: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004842214246.html
Not sure about that store though.

Also available on ebay.

The player made a good impression on me at first. I've used it very little in two years. I tend to be very careful with my things. When I turned it on recently, it was broken. the screen only showed black and green stripes.
the software (user interface) was defective.
I bought it for €60 at the time. I wouldn't buy it again today.
something similar happened to me with the hifiman megamini. plugged into an outlet for charging the screen burned out. on the other hand, simple players like the benjie s5 live for years.
