I hope someone sees this: I have great offer for TEAC P50 for about 180$ and ONKYO HA 300 for 320$, both cost around half the price they normally do.
My question is: is it good idea to buy HA300 if I only plan to use it as a DAC to iPhone or P50 would be enough and there wouldn't be much difference in quality between these two?

still no new firmware

  still no new firmware  

Unfortunately "No New Firmware" I called Brian over at Teac Support Operations about two weeks ago and he couldn't tell me anything concerning whether or not the Teac Japan engineers were even working on a "Folder View" firmware update.  He told me to just keep check the download section to see if anything new showed up.
 
I believe we could have made this happen but we need an straight path to Teac engineers because we don't know if our request are getting forwarded to them or if we're just being blown off.  This player has such a small following so it's hard to get serious movement towards a common goal but it's still my favorite player even with the buggy UI.

Can anyone compare this device to FiiO X7?
If Teac had line out I'd have bought it already but it's an issue for me

You may use the headphone output as line out as well. I do this with good results. Lots of other devices have also just one output for both, most mobile phones, I think.

yeah, that is going to be a tricky thing to get in touch directly with engineers !

We actually need a P90 owner who can read and understand the Japanese Teac web site and provide use with the correct email address to send our wishes/desires of a Folder View and other improvements to in hopes of getting around Teac America.   Just maybe they would listen but we will never know if we don't try.
 
It feels like Teac has given up on improving their Player and just want to leave it out there as is and hope it sales.

yeah, at this point I use it only as a dac/amp with my dell tablet , I just can't stand that UI anymore, makes me sick

Is P90 worth around 100$ more than Onkyo HA-300?

No they are worth the same, they are identical on the inside except for the opamp choice which changes the sound presentation between them slightly, I do prefer the P90, but that comes down to preference.

 

[gugman]

still no sign of new firmware
I am afraid they are not going to release it, so thinking to forget that this is a dap and consider it only as an amp / dac and maybe I will pull the trigger for new Hidizs AP200 that is going to be released in June or maybe I will give a try to Pioneer XDP-100R as it costs now quite cheap and since last firmware update its output power limitation has been removed
cheers

oh man i just bought the ha-p90sd and is it ever annoying. just emailed them and ill wait for my reply. thanks for the email address. im actually in japan and looks like the teac office might not be too far away. i wonder what would happen if a guy just showed up there... but yeah, this thing is driving me insane. nothing shows up right. only some of my ripped sacds. the wavs arent showing up due to tagging issues i guess.
