Interesting that it probably will use an Android based OS but application is not supported. What is the benefit over Shanling own Mtouch OS i am asking myself. Perhaps it will go the Fiio way ? Only certain screened apps will be installable. I am very curious. The article is also stating it will have some kind of rounded case.

Android-based OS but you can't install apps? Maybe it's like the Fiio M6 or Activo CT10.

Can't wait for the details.

It's running MTouch, nothing to do with Android.

It will be so much easier for everyone if you provide the exact time of launch in PST?

We apologize for that. This is our first Kickstarter, so we were not sure how the exactly launch process will go. To be sure, we left us some buffer for this.

Backed. Will it have similiar leather case as M0? Sadly it is only single dac when Ap80 Pro will feature dual 9218P.

It comes with silicone case, as it's so rounded, leather case doesn't fit as nice.

And while only having single ES9218P, I think it's our best implementation yet.

So it sounds better than M0? I was thinking about buying NW-A55 but maybe i should wait for Q1 and as for now just buy some hifi dongle. Do you think it Will be also better sounding than this Sony DAP?

I would recommend reviews from Twister6 and Audio123, where they compare it directly to M0.

My reviews are also live, check them out here

I kinda regret buying my M2X now. I recently upgraded from M0 cuz it was a bit too small and had no physical buttons.
