Ue, dosnt that defeat the purpose of the $700+ DAP when you are putting another amp and DAC on it? Honest question, not trying to be a smart ass.

Yep, that is right, UE, thanks for the help. Those are the two interconnect cables that allow me to play with all of my toys, portable dac, portable amps, and to my main system.

No, that is not a bad question, I have several dacs and amps with me and throughout the two DX100 threads, headfiers have been asking whether the DX100 itself can outperform some of the existing combo setups. I would like to hear it for myself when my unit gets here. Also, different amps may give different flavor of sound character to different headphones. Who knows, I'll find out when it gets here. It is just a way to play with all the toys that I have. I hope I am satisfy with just the DX100 as there will be less to carry.
Yup.
These extra connectivity allow you to use the DX100 as a transport at home or to use the DX100 alongside whatever excellent amps (portable or desktop) you have. Like what Jalo has said, each amp gives a different flavor to the sound. That's why people own several amps =)
I won't really need them though but I can see why they would be handy to some people. I will be happy if they can cut down on these extra stuffs and bring down the price (although other people will want them and will be more than willing to pay for them).

Right, while I've discovered empirically that the DX100 on its own is the best bet, everyone is going to have to see on their own that the DX100 doesn't benefit from any extra gear clinging to it...hence the cables.
Except for my big home DAC, it can cling to it.

Box.com is running an Android promo this month so hurry up and get this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.box.android&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5ib3guYW5kcm9pZCJd
Sign up through the Android app and your free account is upgraded to 50gb of storage - for life. I have no affiliation with Box, just wanted to share the promo goodness. Who doesn't want 50gb of online storage?

Imagine the headphone in the photo is instead a miniature LCD3.
Oh and I have just gotten Box app on my android phone. Not sure what do I want to do with it though. Lol.

Me neither - but you might want to check out this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.MediaSync&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuTWVkaWFTeW5jIl0.
I'll see if I can get the developer to support Box.net as well, that would be awesome! Either that or make PowerAmp able to play directly from Box.net - +50gb of FLAC as long as you have wifi!

For every track you select you will need to wait for the download to be completed before it could play. I tried putting in some Mp3 files (128kbps) on my Box account and it took an average of 15s to get each track to play. The loading time will be much longer for lossless.
Also, we will also need to play track by track manually right?
