Does Fiio care if people want to hack these devices?  Can you comment on if the firmware will be encrypted or have other countermeasures to prevent modification? 
 
IMO as long as the device can't be bricked too easily, letting people mod it might be a lot of fun and generate more interest in the product.

Thanks, but I'm not too interested in working on a port at the moment (I mostly do easier stuff like codecs anyway), but if the player is based on the processor I think it is, then it might be straightforward enough that someone else is interested in doing it. Assuming its not locked down or heavily encrypted.  Mostly I'm just curious, its pretty rare that people working on portable audio players even take the time to talk to the community, so its great to hear from Fiio.

Still, your input is greatly appreciated nonetheless. The DarkSide from ABi is glad to see you here!!!

Even better was when they put an online poll up to let customers and fans choose what type of battery (and thus due to that, performance and parts used) the E12 will use.

I think it's great the FiiO has gone made it a point to get input from the community. So far their products have proven to be quite adept at the price point they are offered at. I think this player is definitely one of the most anticipated releases in a long time. Kudo's to FiiO for taking everyone's opinions into account.

Their approach is rare among manufacturers yet at the same time it is almost ingenious and will benefit both the consumer and their pocket books . Kudos to you Fiio.

any hack is welcome but I am not sure whether someone can do that, because the firmware developer put the secret code in a an-ti forgery chip to protect the firmware. so 
 
I think it will far more difficult to hack the firmware.
