We have proposed back a month ago using BES2300 as the DAP SoC and RockBox community seems cool feet.
When I think of Rockbox on Digital Audio Players it's typically a compact unit, rechargeable battery, storage for music files, LCD screen, controls, headphone jack and high-res music. I am not sure how a device for bluetooth devices (headphones, speakers etc) really fits the specifications. I can see how Rockbox got "cold feet" and might be quite confused trying to match RES2300 with what they expected. And bluetooth means lower quality musical fidelity, even APTX or APTX HD is not even half CD bitrate so not really part of any equation to solve open-source solution for a DAP.
In short, Rockbox "You say you can implement a DAP with a bluetooth device?" and wanders off somewhere else while making mumbling sounds.
