i am most interested if he will ever compare dx200 vs fiio x7 as both have sabre dacs, and mimouille heard the fiio x7 extensively according to his profile
@Mimouille
I am also very interested in full bodied, weighted mids, a bit forward maybe. thats what i miss in the DX90. please keep us updated, Sabre has good airy highs and a potent and fast bass. the mids are the weakness. so please share your impressions.
i would be surprised if a sbare dac will offer full forward meaty mids as that is not the norm for a sabre dac

And that's why I've come to prefer daps with bare bones firmware, no OS, just music player with some normal function. The sound is more transparent and engaging.
I agree with this. While I own and love the DX100, in design concept I think Ibasso got it right with the DX80. Give me a relatively modern interface with none of the bells and whistles of a full Android package, browser capable, bluetooth, WiFi, etc. Just give me a simple music player with a good GUI that plays music well and provides a digital out if I want to step it up a notch.
The DX80 did offer some firmware challenges, but ultimately it settled into a nice DAP with a single basic function....play music.
