I can wait a wee while, does a Siglent says something about new coming model?

Release is now just a few weeks away.

Much better...Not.
It is definitely "better" in terms of display, UI and resolution.
On the other hand, there are features that the Rigol does not have.
I still wouldn't want to go back to the SDS1000X-E, because its successor is in the starting blocks.

Well...You can see it this way, I wouldn´t.
With the Rigol it is the (unofficial) bandwidth and memory depth, with the Siglent it is the (official) bandwidth and WiFi (afaik).
But that's about it.

That might be your personal opinion. ;)

--- End quote ---
Phew...
The DHO currently has one of the best UIs on the affordable market, if you compare it directly with the DS1054Z (but also with the SDS1000X-E), there's a world of difference.
I wouldn't want to buy a DS1054Z or an SDS1000X-E today, given the successors of rigol and soon also siglent.

I would like to have CAN to possibly learn something new in free time...

You can easily enable CAN.
Just change one file on the internal disk and a DHO800 will believe it's a DHO900. :)

Anybody tried that and decode worked?
It would be good news to me ^-^

I haven't tried using it but it's definitely listed as a decoder on mine.
Martin72 has tested it with his Batronix test board, I'm sure he'd have said something if CAN bus decoding didn't work. Right, Martin...?
