Yeah, I think that was my original point, but I got sidetracked by something shiny, and just hit send.  So far, it seems it will end up a nice unit, but it doesn't do "that other stuff."

Agreed that the HA-2 sounded clear and precise, I liked it with the more open voiced PM-3 at RMAF.

Thin form factor was a bonus also!

Can you identify any visible changes?

Because not everyone remembers what the older beta unit looks like, I took some photos of the two stacked. Please keep in mind that this isn't the final production unit, so the appearance might change a little bit here or there.
The unit on top is the old beta




^ it's hard to tell in the photo, but the newer units have dimmer battery life LEDs


^ in this photo, the older beta unit is on the bottom

Thanks for the pics.  Looks like they got some good feedback.  I like the changes, even if they are minuscule.

Hey!  You can go fully balanced, now!

wonder if it supports Android phone and how the connection would be made, eg, micro to micro OTG USB ?

did you search thread for OTG or android?  that's all you had to do to confirm that yes, it does

The HA-2 will ship with a micro-USB-B to OTG cable. This allows for both the Android device to send audio to the HA-2 and also charge the device at the same time (if you so chose too).

I know they're not what some people would consider 'hi-rez', but I'd like to know if the HA-2 will allow us to use Spotify/Tidal/Quobuz on android 4.4.4?
 
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and am wondering whether I should wait for the HA-2 ( was considering other devices, but I expect the HA-2 will be pretty good )

that would be really thoughtful.

no sorry I haven't the precious time to search through a lot of threads but thanks for the info.

In case anyone is wondering, I just made some quick measurements of the HA-2's physical dimensions:
12.3 mm thick
68.8 mm wide
137.4 mm tall

I've always wondered: is the leather skin a detachable protective case?

Not at the moment, it's fixed to the device in the beta units.
