Nice. I almost got a Shanling a while ago, but went with the Fiio M5 instead (the tiny one that they stopped making). The one in the photo is a Hidizs AP80.

Do you like Shanling's interface? I find it's kind of hard to get to a specific album on the Hidizs. All it gives you is one long, scrolling list.

The UI gets finicky at the edges of the screen where I think they want gestures. Trips makes scrolling a bit of a pain since you may accidentally switch views. I’ve gotten used to it. The price to performance/features is nice tho.

If I could change two things it would be: a) properly release their source modifications to the Linux kernel for GPL compliance, b) support some of the native Linux kernel file systems like ext4, f2fs as they would allow better performance & I wouldn’t need to install exFAT drivers.

Ah, dang. I found the same thing with the Fiio and Hidizs.

Apparently some of Hiby's devices have a search feature. That might be useful -- I'm hoping the Hiby R3 comes back in stock at some point.
