My 5 kopecks.
Player purchased on the official website at kickstarter I had just a couple of days. Was poisoned in the area of ​​20 November 2018. If the logistics of our mail was reasonable, it would get in the middle of December, but the result on the face. Last shot before the separation was not made until 31 December. Received a new player with volume control knob.
The general impression from the player and his complete positive. As for me, because the silicone shell (ublyudstvo some) is not needed.
Firmware upgrade to the latest version was normal.
Sound will be evaluated in conjunction with the headphones that use plus
my personal perception. In another, I think everything will not sound correctly.
AP80 + KZ ZS6 + KZ Bluetooth (apt-x on CSR8645 chip). Connection is normal, the sound quality is much better than what gave the phone to USB Audio Player. High and medium became brighter, but comparing with a wired connection the sound was a bit weaker.
AP80 + KZ ZS6 + KZ Upgrade cable (KZ-high purity oxygen free copper). Excellent sound, wide scene. In music, there were interesting details not previously seen. Many of the songs sounded more expressive than on the phone in conjunction with an external DAC and the same headphones.
AP80 + MDR-XB950BT, connect via bluetooth. Headphones ate all the high, the bass become almost velvety. The sound is almost indistinguishable from that gives the phone. All control buttons work as expected on the headphones. Wire connection of headphones is not tried.
AP80 + KZ ZS6 + Nicehck 8core 6N GC-OOC. Very good combination. High detail, the deepest and pleasant bass.
Different observation.
About silicone cover I've already written. Protective film factory was glued crooked, so after the first two days of wearing in the front pocket of the film has been successfully detached. Instead, I used it a hydrogel for the phone. It is thinner, softer and with the correct label does not ride up at the corners.
At first, the adjustment wheel is jammed in the depressed position, causing a reboot. Cured cranking up and down a few turns.
Connecting to a PC (win10) without any problems. The only thing that plugs into a very tight player, and the first time USB-C inserted "by force."
Radio there and it works, but I do not listen. As far as I understand the function of scanning frequencies and forming station list is not there.
Connecting to the already known headphones via bluetooth must be done manually by selecting the ones that should be known to the list. By the built-in transmitter bt-no complaints.
I used as a carrier Sandisk 10 A1 class map to 128Gb.
On my taste best player gives a good, detailed and interesting sound in electronic music.
Cons (in my opinion):
1. Volume knob can be "squeezed" in the pocket. This leads to shutdown and reset the clock. Furious!
2. billing interface date and time. During that developers should burn in hell.
3. Minor UI elements. Even with my small fingers to use it is difficult.
4. In the case of paging occurs loading of album art. Perhaps this card, the possibility of such an algorithm operation of the player (saves memory).
upd. 5. We must be very careful with volume control via the screen. The player can stun.
