I also have one of those. Really nice, premium-feeling hardware and great sound quality, as expected from Fiio. They really should have added some additional buttons though. Forward/back, menu navigation and volume control all using the same 2 buttons is quite annoying. The software is also rather clunky and basic, comparable to the average mid-2000s "nugget" - I guess that might make it even more nostalgic for some. In any case, it's cool having my own dedicated device for music I own again. Right now, it's a solid 7/10 device for me, but could easily become an 8 or 9 with better software.

What's the software situation? Is it open source? Can you flash your own thing?

I've tried enough custom os players to know that they are never good. Ofren you cant do something as simple as play a random album, search by name, or go to the currently playing album/artist. I prefer android, so I can install any player.

Agree with all your points! The metal body is so very satisfying. But the cheaper (and almost toy-like) Innioasis Y1 had a far better menu system with that scroll-wheel
