Seiun Players

Dec 14, 2015 at 5:37 PM Post #62 of 87
Seiun Pro X is closest DAP to my dream DAP i have seen so far. But still very far away. I found it very limited in terms of storage and battery. Why it has to be thin as phones? Still i see many people in here uses very bulky portable rigs like phone+usb dac+amp.
 
Here is my dream DAP:
I wonder if i'll see it manufactured ;_;
 
No internal memory
2.5" SSD/HDD slot (SSD prices falling rapidly)
2x Fullsize SDXC >or 2x Micro SDXC (each slot should support more than 128gb!)
Android OS (gives ability to choose media player, cloud streaming software, internet browser etc.)
a powerful processor (for upsampling up to DSD256, 32bit/768khz)
2gb RAM
5.5" 1080p (with low power consumption, oled/amoled?)
a good DAC + AMP combo (should drive most of the fullsized headphones)
a cheap rear camera (doesn't have to be but it is cheap and easy to add)
WiFi 2.4ghz & 5ghz
FM Radio (doesn't have to be but it is cheap and easy to add)
Bluetooth 4.1 and APTX
optionally_ ANT+ (many fitness applications uses this protocol)
8000-10000mah removable battery (even some phones have 6000mah battery in these days)
2x USB port (for charging other devices or mounting flash drives etc.)
5 pyhsical buttons for  Play/Pause, Volume_UP & Volume_DOWN, Next_Track & Previous_Track (long presses= Forward/Rewind)

This thread has been pretty quiet but the IndieGoGo InDemand is now north of $512k! Has anyone received their survey or anything?

CD answered an email from me 2-3 days ago and said that surveys should come out in about 2 weeks, so I would guess sometime after Chistmas...

That wouldn't be a portable player for most people anymore. The battery (especially since it's removable) and SSD would make it humongous. I think mSATA is more of a starter than 2.5" SSD, but is a bit pointless with the growing supply of 64gb and 128gb flash chips. I don't think this dream player will ever be more than a dream as it may be a nightmare to others, but good luck to you, nonetheless.

I have received it last Friday.
 
Some points so far:
 
  • The 16Gb memory Cyberdrive added as a stretch goal is not internal memory, but just a cheap card. A communication failure, among others.
  • The player has a noticeable background noise, that can get annoying with more sensitive phones, like... Cyberdrive's own DURA earphones.
  • The UI is minimal, really minimal. The tiny screen is not conducive to browsing though large libraries, so I myself kind of gave up the idea of using a 64Gb card, and accepted the "gift" card. The audio volume is adjusted on the same buttons as previous and next track, by pressing them longer, so mistakes are bound to happen, sooner or later.
  • I tried Ogg Vorbis, and it didn't work. AAC works.
  • At least, it remembers where I stopped my listening.
 
I understand the great project, for Cyberdrive, is the Pro (X) players. But I can't help but thinking that this little player, in face of the alternatives, is not the greatest advertisement for Cyberdrive's products. And they intend to sell it for US$ 70.

I agree with you, for me UI is not the main concern for me, all i need is only a working software to loop my songs. The 16gb memory is only a cheap micro sd card but it works well, Btw what i expect is 16gb internal memory, its quiet a disappoint for me. The song quality is OK for me, as described the background noise is there with my CM earphone and its own earphone. I own dx90 before i buy this little player, what i impress is the size of the music player, its very small and sounds ok, sound quality is better than my iphone6 and not good as dx90. For this price point i only complaint about the background noise, other than that seems everything looks good amd sounds good.
