Two possible new puppies in Aiyimas future..

[Schlippwhip68]

Aiyima is asking which one looks best?

A poll would likely be appropriate.

On ASR, you can attach a poll to your thread, e.g:

Poll: Audio Science Review in the World (2024)

Hi Folks, Back in November 2019, I started a thread/poll thread here, in which I was wondering where our fellow members were actually living. Initially, when ASR started back in 2016, most first registered members were either from USA, UK, Canada, or Australia (according to @amirm), with...

yep. I hate the loaf of bread look

and it makes the screen really tiny

the screen looks like the std. recycled unit on every other item from douk to these guys

lemme guess... i dont think anything inside here is gonna rock your world

at best its going to be a pffb tpa3255 with some fairly middling unexciting dac and bt processing.

Employ an actual skilled industrial designer and stop asking ASR members to do their hard work! They are the ultimate parasites.

#2 for looks. But I'd actually choose #1 for the bigger screen.

+1 #2 looks best to me.

I think you got that backwards.

Ooops, thanks for the correction.

Fooled by the original images being shown in reverse order and not paying proper attention

Ooops, thanks for the correction.

No problem, blame the OP.
He's the one that named the first picture #2 LOL

 

[Doodski]

#2 is the best.

Done.

It is an opinion on two finished designs by the looks of it, so most of the hard work is already done evidently.

Yeah, 'the parcel' is not not my 1st choice either, I think I will go for a number 2...yeah, 2.

It’s reasonable to poll the intended audience for their personal opinions, much UX design does this to decide between prototypes. Why the hostility? If I was thinking about buying, I’d appreciate having input… so it’s a perk right?

I don’t get the anger

i think to a lot of people here, 'new generation' companies cannot win and they shouldnt win, in fact they should not even compete here

when companies try to engage audiences they are treated as 'lazy' and untalented

when they just release products willy nilly on aliexpress with no consulation with propective customers they dont respect their clientele with a scatttergun approach

so take those criticisms for what they are worth

cant win with some people because you know, the implication... also its usually the same people

lol...sorry. Yes, 2 looks on point in my opinion, that dark cloudy grey colour means business, PFFB would be great, interchangeable op amps is a must and a well implemented CS43131 dac would be the cherry! I am happy with either an TI3255 or MA5332MS amp chip, quality Caps and generally going forward in the vein that Aiyima has recently.

What hostility?

I'm not sure how a designer could think the tiny screen in #1 is remotely usable. It would seem like the screen used in #2 could go into #1, and the knob could be centered above or below it.
