Anyone actually own one of these and care to comment? The actual user reviews (what little there are) around the net make this product sound like its got some issues that HiFiMan isnt working out. That and it really does seem like HiFiMan is just dumping crappy products on MassDrop and paying SlickDeals to promote them to clear them out?

ben_r_I actually own this thing!
Bought it black friday 2017 for ±100$ and have been using it since.
Playback is not gapless, which bothers me a lot. Battery dies if you don't turn the device off completely when not in use (there's no "sleep mode", just a "screen off" function). If you accidentally skip a track it doesn't remember where you left off, so for podcasts i have to fast forward for around 30 seconds to get back to the 20 minute mark.
Really, the only thing this has going for it is expandable storage, ridiculous max volume and simple playlist management (just throw in a folder and it's a playlist). I like the sound, but am getting mad hiss on my (admittedly cheap) IEMs and Sennheiser HD25.
I really only use this as a podcast machine at this point. Using this player is simply not a very enjoyable experience.

ben_r_Stick to that iphone! I don't think it's worth trading all that convenience for a teeny tiny improvement in sound you only notice in side by side comparisons.
