HIDIZS Aims To Leverage HiFi Roots to Win Hearts of Mass Consumers With Expanded Portable Audio Lineup

Introducing The AP80 PRO MAX All-In-One Hi-Res Streaming Music Player

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.

AP80 PRO MAX Key Features

Ultra Hi-Fidelity Audio: Dual ESS ES9219C DACs deliver up to 32bit/384kHz PCM audio, MQA 16X hardware decoding, and native DSD 64/128/256

Wireless HiFi Networking: 2.4GHz WiFi with support for DLNA & AirPlay, and Bluetooth 5.1 with Apt-X, LDAC, HiBy UAT, and HiBy Link codecs

Premium Quality Industrial Design: HD touchscreen, CNC unibody aluminum chassis, and both 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended connections

Versatility and Customizability: HiBy OS + MSEB audio tuning board for sound customization, E-book functionality, and high capacity microSD storage options

Building upon the proven success of the earlier AP80 Pro-X, this new and improved version boasts 2.4GHz WiFi capabilities, making streaming and remote library access easier than ever before. Audiophiles with higher impedance headphones will be enticed by the 340mW of balanced power output with balanced 4.4mm and 3.5mm single-ended connection options included. The industrial design features a similar attention to quality with its CNC unibody aluminum chassis that feels great to hold, and the responsive and vibrant 2.95-inch 480×640 HD Touchscreen.

From an audio fidelity standpoint, the AP80 PRO MAX is top of its class. Sporting dual ESS ES9219C DAC chips from SABRE, widely regarded as the gold standard for digital-to-analog converter technology, the AP80 PRO MAX supports extremely high resolution audio up to 32bit 384kHz. This technology makes it more than up to the task of handling the multitude of high resolution audio codecs supported onboard including DSD, MQA, Apt-X, LDAC, and more. Users who prefer to store their high-resolution audio files locally will enjoy expanded storage capacity via microSD card.

The AP80 PRO MAX will be sold for $189 retail, an astounding value for the amount of utility and quality packed into the device, though long-term fans of HIDIZS won’t be surprised by the amount of value to be found here. The product launches on Kickstarter in October, with shipments expected to begin in late November.

HiFi For Everyone: An Expanded Lineup

In the HiFi ecosystem where Brand drives price just as much as sound quality, HIDIZS has taken a more egalitarian approach. Inspired by the belief that everyone deserves to have access to the highest quality listening experiences and driven by the ambition of being the premiere supplier of those experiences, HIDIZS has already created a diverse and robust catalog that includes everything from DACs, Amps, Portable Media Players, audiophile In-Ears, and more. This year they are poised to expand that catalog even further with a complete lineup ranging from entry-level to flagship HiFi gear including the AP80 PRO MAX, the MK12 Ultra Titanium Gold-Plated Diaphragm Dynamic IEMs, and the MK10 ArcSonics IEMs which are launching in mid-September.

About HIDIZS

HIDIZS is a HiFi audio brand created for people who truly love music. Back in the cassette and CD days, music sounded full, natural, and emotional. But with the rise of MP3s and streaming, a lot of that richness got lost. Music started to feel “cheap.” That’s why we founded HIDIZS — to create a full range of affordable HiFi devices that deliver high-quality, uncompromised sound. Music is emotion, memory, and connection. That’s the essence of HIDIZS: Soulful Music Beyond Time and Space.
