Google translation, sorry:

Since 2013 we developed a line of high-quality transports to enjoy the true sound. Soundaware D100PRO which was upgraded in 2014 and 2015 (femtoclock-version) became a masterpiece. The device gained recognition among music lovers around the world. It's time to take the following step to continue to enjoy the technical progress. We declare that D100PRO finished his mission. But owners shouldn't worry: technical support will be carried out, including after-sales service and software update.

So, meet the new product - Soundaware D300. D300 inherited all the best - style, sound, materials, technologies of the D100 PRO femtoclock-version . We made a careful optimization of the PCB. The new FPGA-algorithm is developed that allowed to reduce considerably a jitter and noise. D300 received HIFI Bluetooth, external clock generator outputs, FPGA USB DAC, additional IIS HDMI output. Changes concerned a firmware: it became more stable, supports seamless playback and other functions. The price expected in China will be within 10000 yuans.

We are grateful to community, for the fact that all these years you helped us to support our products. We also hope that our future product - D300 - will gain your approval.

If I right understood some discussions over special chinese forums, there will be two units. Simple D300 in June and advanced D300 REF in July.

Anyone actually buy it? No reviews on it or d300 ref. I am surprised by the lack of press... just 6 moons which I find quite hard to glean much of anything from.

I’ve a D300REF on order. I’m hoping it compares favourably to my current LPS powered mini pc + Gustard U18 + Farad Super3 powered Afterdark Emperor Double Crown OCXO clock.

An additional benefit is switching from Roon Bridge to USB interface via a remote. Handy as Roon regularly doesn’t give back access to the audio device when closed so a system reboot is necessary to run other software for video playback.
