![]() ![]() I will cover more about this in Sound analysis section, but DSD playback of AP80 Pro actually has a higher sound quality than AP80. Original AP80 supported only up to DSD128 native decoding, while AP80 Pro added a dedicated HBC3000 FPGA for DSD decoding, taking it up to DSD256 which I confirmed to play without a problem. Many lossy and lossless audio formats are supported, such as FLAC, APE, WMA, WAV, ALAC, DSF, DFF, SACD-ISO, and native support of DSD 64/128/256 and PCM up to 384kHz/32bit. And because you are running Hiby, you can also implement HibyLink to control AP80 wireless from your smartphone. The operating system under the hood is Hiby 3.0 OS which is based around HibyMusic Player, including all of its bells’n’whistles, even Mage Sound 8-ball DSP effects and EQ with genre specific presets and custom adjustment. And of course, keep in mind, when you start playing lossless files or go up to DSD format, the battery will drain faster. I didn’t have a chance to run battery test, so will update this section of the review when I get to it. My test results for original AP80 were a little bit lower, so I expect AP80 Pro to get you probably closer to 10hrs of playback on SE and less balanced. According to Hidizs, this should give you 13hrs playback from 3.5mm and 9hrs playback from 2.5mm. ![]() The internal battery capacity of AP80 Pro is the same 800mAh, 3.8V LiPo battery as in AP80. For example, you can pair it up to your smartphone to stream audio from various apps wireless to your AP80 Pro using lossless LDAC protocol. Or you can use it as a receiver to work as a wireless DAC/amp paired up with other sources. The BT is bi-directional, meaning you can use it as a transmitter to pair up with your wireless headphones or other BT DAC/amp devices. You will also find Bluetooth 4.2 supporting many protocols, including aptX, LDAC, and even the new UAT (ultra audio transmission). Clearly, AP80 Pro is designed for users with active lifestyle, and it can even display a clock. There are also two other DAP features, not very common for audio players: FM radio (using 4705 chipset), and a step counter (built-in pedometer sensor, KX126). ![]() The 3.5mm output has the same power rating of 70mW 32ohm load, while balanced 2.5mm steps up to 190mW 32ohm, plenty of power for IEMs and some efficient headphones. Inside AP80 Pro you have Ingenic X1000 processor, common to many smaller non-Android DAPs, and at the heart you have a Dual ES9218P DAC, in comparison to a single ES9218P in AP80. ![]()
