AP80 PRO MAX - All-in-One Hi-Res Streaming Music Player

Audiophile listening is splitting into two camps: local lossless libraries versus Tidal/Qobuz streaming. Traditional players serve only the former, while phone streaming sacrifices sound quality and focus. The HIDIZS × LINSOUL AP80 PRO MAX aims to own both. Dual ES9219C DAC chips deliver flagship metrics — ±120dB SNR, ±122dB DNR, 0.0005% THD+N — with native DSD256 and PCM 384kHz/32bit decoding plus MQA 16X hardware unfolding. Built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi streams Tidal, Qobuz, DLNA and AirPlay directly; bi-directional Bluetooth 5.1 connects headphones or broadcasts audio, and the unit doubles as a USB DAC. An X1600E SoC keeps everything smooth, with 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm outputs on board. Launched in October 2025, it drew 2,301 backers and about HK$3.45 million (roughly $444K), around 6,893% funded.
