Love that one gets both touch and physical button options, keyboard layout for passwords looks awful though lol. Also not having FM radio capability is definitely a bummer imo, like... how does the e-book option get priority over it? I do have some questions/concerns though (anyone who's had time to use it feel free to reply): 1. Is there a noticeable lag while scrolling though the alphabet? (cause it seemed like it in the video). 2. Honestly speaking how bad is the touch responsiveness issue? At around 8:34 it seems like it's not registering your touches. 3. Any reason why SD card slot is left open like that (saw it in the HIFI Walker H2 review as well), cause I assume a lot of dust and lint from one's pockets can easily accumulate and cause problems down the line, a flap to cover that opening would be neat.
Agreed re: keyboard I guess it's one downside of not using a more polished OS like Android (definitely an interesting choice :) 1. A little if compared to higher end phones (probably has to do with more limited animations on this OS) but generally works fine after some acclimation 2. Touchscreen responsiveness wasn't an issue in practice...it's just smaller than recent devices I've used and I was looking through an even smaller camera screen so wasn't hitting the correct target lol (great catch though!) 3. Agreed! Maybe the trade-off is convenience if someone is hot swapping memory cards. I guess rubber can sometimes wear out but perhaps a sliding door design would be nice to have! Appreciate the support!
The player is a dac. Connect your computer to the player with a usb cord and plug your headphones into the h2o pro. Put the h2o pro in dac mode via settings and away u go
@@Ces1um Thanks for the response but I want to use an external DAC. My external DAC is better than the H20. I just want it to output a digital signal so my external DAC and headphone amp can do the rest.

Wow, I haven't seen FM radio as a feature request in a solid 20 years.
wow.. I've never knew that .. "mp3 players" were still around, in 2024.
And it can support DSD256 32bit/192kHz..??!! wow ! Nice !!!
great review.
Can you use the USB port to output a digital signal to an external DAC?

Do you know how to delete things from to do list on Oregon scientific os pro pda that you showed 12 years ago on RUclips?
The TI chip has a nicer sound then this old ess, unless you like bright/glare sound, of course the TI has less power and less dsd capability
Still only 512Gb Micro SD.
sound and battery life is only relevant aspect. So, better than the rest?
Why is this so much more expensive than the G7?? I think that's an Android based player
this one was 128gb memory, vs 80gb on the G7, this plays dsd the G7 doesn't this has double dacs, this has only one and lower qulity.
