Edited out the April's Fool joke, looks like they're not done with
milking out the older models.
but the new revamped ones at least looks quite nice and full screen this time. Specs not released yet though, but looks like it's android based with wifi!
hope there's Google play there, but u doubt it. They'll probably be using their MQS streaming services like the AK240 to milk more money.

April fool? Haha.... Fitear also having the same marketing technique here have a look : http://fitear.jp

Lol I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't judging from iriver past trend. Currawong said he already heard it, so could be if all the mods are on it as well

Wow, almost as ugly as the last one. Hate to say there are way too many suckers that are not going to be able to resist whatever iriver is putting out these days. It is like feeding troll.

Lol I agree. I had enough of the sudden surge of new DAP wars. I'm considering falling back to an all in 1 source - the phone...
btw I remembered you were interested in getting a Z1 compact? Have you gotten it yet? Was wondering how is the SQ like.

Already saw it in the local Sony store, but didn't really play around it by much. As I have saved enough money, I decided to move up the ladder and get the Z2 instead.

wise choice! will await your review of its DAC

And I'll prob wait for the Z2 compact since I'm looking for something smaller. Or I might just cave in to i6 if their DAC is acceptable lol

Oh hey, look at the calendar.....

Confirmed it's April fool joke~

Yep, pity though. Would be interesting. But I won't be surprised if they release a similar priced product within this year or next.

Head fi mods trolling ahahah

It would be a new milestone in headfi industry if they really releasing such DAP...

Lol they're not done with the older revamped models yet
Actually looks sexy, and it's android based with wifi. Unfortunately it looks like there's only 1 sd card slot.

This is not going to be good.

Looks like they are going to call it AK200 and AK220. I think they are going down the smartphone road, releasing newer versions every year lol
I hope the specs suck... Then I won't be sucked back in

How do you know they're calling it that?

Just a guess from this pic

This is not good.
