On the sound quality bar (in the review) the rating is just one short from full.  
 
You will see the 'value' rating is clocked out. 

yeah, but if this dap compete in the '' high-high-end '' and have a good value rating, The dap should have the full bar....
 
 
 
I can't understand that

Ok, is Tidal the same as Android mode then?

To my ears, it is the same

To my ears, it is the same

I also hear no differences between the two Mango players.

So DX200 is not the best? AK380 better?

 
In my opinion its a matter of preference at these levels.

If you read the full sound description analyses I have noted some areas such as soundstage width not being wide as I'd like from the 3.5mm single ended output, this is partly why the audio quality rating is one below. It would take my preferences to 100% align to give full audio quality rating and that's not the case. This doesn't mean DX200 sounds is bad at all in anyway. I had considered giving the review 5-stars full (believe me) but I'd decided to add some discretion for balance. 
 
Once the other reviews are published I recommend you form a happy medium from all scores combined.

Some just want to hear some DAP is the best to have a sense of satisfaction.

Nothing in this world is the best, especially in hifi world, different people different taste.

In case anyone was wondering whether you can run GTA San Andreas on the DX200: Yes, you can, and even at advanced graphic settings!


 

Why? Because why not!

The processor benchmark tests look good as well:

Excellent, your camera lens changes the chassis color as well. (mine does the same)
 
It looks pretty good in metallic purple.

A member has Google Play Store running on DX200.

Personally, I won't use the play store as DX200 sounds excellent simply as a music player for me (Android music player). The only reason I brought it up about a week ago was because I was looking for an app to take screenshots, I found an apk for that easily.

Thanks for the links folks. I don't see anything that's (yet) available to download. Awesome that people are working on home-baked custom ROMs, but I'm surprised there's no official support for Google Play Music/Services/Store; that undermines the primary advantage of having an Android device. Are there no plans to one day officially support this? FYI, FiiO supports these services in Android 5. Not perfectly (there are bugs), but it's totally usable.

I received today DX200 from amp3. Unfortunately right out the box there is some lose part inside,when I moving it, gives noise like moving freely screw. It is really disappointing at so pricy dap. Will returning it.
