    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Yup, mine is sitting dusty on my desk like a paper-weight.

    Shanling M3s - dual AK4490 DAC, 2.5 balanced out, aptX BT, HiBy link, USB out, FW 1.7

    You're welcome! I don't know what they put in that stuff, but it works amazingly well on potentiometers (pots). Also fixes dirty crackly volume knobs. In the case of the M3s i think the wheels are lubricated at the factory and this lube collects particulate over a short amount of time causing...

    Shanling M3s - dual AK4490 DAC, 2.5 balanced out, aptX BT, HiBy link, USB out, FW 1.7

    RE: scroll wheel. My scroll wheel started to become "jumpy" - selections would sometimes jump in the opposite direction and have a jittery scroll. I fixed this by spraying a little bit of DeoxIT D5 where the wheel meets the case. Let it soak in and dry for several minutes before you power on...

    Second Thoughts... I feel compelled to write this post after a strange exchange of events. I was supporter #146 on the AP200's Indiegogo campaign. As with most of us, I became disenchanted with Hidizs after the long delays of production and shipping - then firmware troubles. So much so that I...

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    I may be wrong, but it seems that there is something about the way the hardware is implemented that is making the software side of things difficult. I find it hard to believe that their software designers are incompetent. There must be something more to this than we know. The software engineers...

    A robotic arm is placing components on the main boards. Then, towards the end, the camera pans down to show component spools. Components are supplied and sold on large spools.

    Hidizs AP200

    My guess is that Hidizs wants to (a) correct the problems with the AP200 before selling anymore, and (b) finish delivering units to those who haven't received. At this point I think it would be VERY helpful if Hidizs were to start a thread related to the current status of the AP200 including the...

    Shanling M3s - dual AK4490 DAC, 2.5 balanced out, aptX BT, HiBy link, USB out, FW 1.7

    Yes it seems Hidizs has done some things wrong - totally agree. I own both M3s and the AP200 (IGG order 146 - 32GB Alum. ver.). However I got my AP200 (in December). I regards to comparison - both sound good but I give slight edge to M3s for it's solid UI and nice sound stage. The AP200 has...

    I was Indiegogo order #146. Placed order in September. Received on Dec.12.Just took this photo for proof. Please let cooler heads prevail. Hopefully you'll get yours soon. I'm sure Hidizs has someone monitoring this thread and will take notice.

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    I was an IGG backer. My IGG order number was 146 and I ordered on September 11. I ordered the cheaper 32GB/Aluminum version for $269. Got email with shipping confirmation and tracking number on November 16. Finally received the unit on December 12. I think most of the backers that didn't get...

    Sounds like the coding might not be 100% clean yet. Just a theory but maybe mixing the forward/reverse buttons with the volume up/down presents a very difficult coding problem for the firmware (and could possibly be why other manufacturers are avoiding this configuration).

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Updated to 2.1. Screen-off volume problem seemed to be fixed at first. However the function seems to have crashed on my device. Worked the first few times. Then volume ramped up to 100 on its own. I can turn the volume down but as soon as I release the button the volume quickly ramps up to 100...

    Shanling M3s - dual AK4490 DAC, 2.5 balanced out, aptX BT, HiBy link, USB out, FW 1.7

    My current "Love Stack". M3s mated with JDS Labs C5 (non-DAC) and the HD6XX. Plenty of headroom to power the HD6XX's using Line Out/Hi Gain settings on the M3s. The Last Jedi soundtrack (24/192 FLAC) is punchy and dynamic. To bad the C5 is no longer available!

    I can confirm this. Don't bother trying to download yet. Took ~6 hours to download a 321 megabyte file just to find out it was 2.0. In fact when you open the 2.1 zip file the embedded folder says "...2.0" (see pic). Files in the 2.1 archive are the same size and date as the previous 2.0 firmware...

    OK - so after much messing around I've discovered that a slow screen-off double-tap will increment the volume by +/-2 numbers only(depending on what side of rocker you press). So if you start at volume=50, shut the screen off, then slow double tap up, this will increase volume to 52. Holding...

    Finally received my unit (32GB Black Aluminum) yesterday after about a 1 month wait from the time it shipped. Came with firmware 1.8. Had difficulty upgrading to 2.0. It didn't like the 200gb Sandisk (exfat format)- it would fail to mount this card upon update reboot - even though it reads the...

    In agreement with you here. My first impression of the scroll wheel was that it's super sensitive (overly fast). I get one click per line. I wouldn't mind 1 line for every 2 clicks in a future firmware update. On the other hand I find volume adjustment to be too slow. I think the size of the...

    I ordered on Indiegogo. Received an email stating that it was shipped on November 16th and was given a DHL tracking number. But it hasn't reached the states yet.

    Like most of you that have posted, I also received the email with tracking this morning. Although I haven't received my unit yet. Mine was ordered through the Indiegogo campaign. I'm sure Hidizs has folks working very hard to get everything sorted out - I'm sure it's overwhelming them.
