You will be surprised at the sound it puts out. Especially how coherent and smooth the instrument separation is, also soundstage width.

Hi every one I am in search of a portable player that has dac and amp combo with a fm tuner. I like to listen to music at work but I also listen to a lot of talk radio, I have been using the Fiio X1 for music then part of the day I use something else with a tuner. The only player that I know of is the Sony A15 or A16 does any one have any other suggestions.

I have a couple of Sansa clips that do have FM. They might not be the dac amp combo your looking for ,but they are remarkable little players

Thanks I actually have one and I am trying to get away of stacking an amp with it at work, trying to find something really portable I work in a machine shop. Maybe I will wait for the new Sony that they showed at CES its not small but its still flat and would fit in my back pocket nicely.

If you're looking for a DAP that has a separate internal amp section (like most audiophile DAPs) with FM radio I don't know of any. Though most Cowon's sound nice and support FM tuner. J3, S9 etc. I think really, in your situation you're already doing the right thing here, keep your audiophile DAP for quality music and a separate device for radio. And if you haven't already checked out the Sansa units that would probably be my choice due to its pocket size as a tuner. Then if you need to amp it consider the credit card size Topping NX1 with 120 hour run times.

Anything that's IOS or Android can stream most FM stations (like I Heart Radio) over WiFi.  I would love an update to the DX100 so it could run a far more current flavor of Android...
