HIDIZS launches high-end HiFi audio DAC, evolved nostalgia

There are a handful of up-and-coming audio companies that are really taking the audio space by storm, and HIDIZS is one of them. Their flagship devices like the AP80 PRO MAX, and their in-ear monitors like the MK10 ArcSonics are built with the highest possible quality components like gold-plated diaphragms, the latest Bluetooth chipsets, 32bit/384kHz PCM audio and MQA 16X hardware decoding, an all aluminum chassis, and even a HD touchscreen come together to provide a high end tactile experience you might have gotten with the iPod, but with far higher quality. If any of that sounds like something that’d pique your audiophile interests, then read on!

Global HiFi audio brand HIDIZS, who have made their mark among loyal fans with their robust catalog of affordably priced high-end audio equipment and their unique industrial design inspirations and materials, are expanding their reach further with the release of the new AP80 PRO MAX All-in-One Hi-Res Streaming Music Player. Portable Hi-Res streaming music players are often priced beyond the reach of most listeners. Why pay so much when you can just stream music with your smartphone and TWS earbuds? This is where the AP80 PRO MAX changes everything — an affordable, pocket-sized HiFi player that puts true high-resolution music right in your hands.

With built-in 2.4GHz WiFi, you can stream high resolution audio directly from platforms like Tidal and Qobuz — no downloads, no latency, no compromises. More than just a streaming device, the AP80 PRO MAX is a complete portable music companion: enjoy lossless playback via microSD card, connect wirelessly through Bluetooth, or instantly enhance your existing headphones with its powerful DAC/AMP features.

Coupled with high-end active noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones, these should blow anything you’ll get out of your phone right out of the water, being purpose driven to do precisely that. Lossless playback, expandable via microSD, and you can even use Tidal and Qobuz, if those platforms are your jam.

While the in-ear monitors haven’t shipped yet (later this month), you can snap up the AP80 Pro Max right now. With support for DLNA & AirPlay, and Bluetooth 5.1 with Apt-X, LDAC, HiBy UAT, and HiBy Link codecs, this device also makes a solid addition to a car that might need an upgrade to its infotainment or audio head unit. Surprisingly, despite the high-end DAC/DAP components, the AP80 Pro Max doesn’t have a stiff price – just $149 at the time of writing. Let us know in the comments – have you used a dedicated DAP device like this recently, or are you still sticking with a device like your phone for your audio needs?
