WiFi is useless, we are talking about pocketable portable device not home server here. You want high capacity, there is an option like mSATA but James insists not seeing it.
It doesn't help I know, so I am looking at other places.
Well Android is a good choice, if you keep it clean and functioning good. It is also an open source project so completely fine. However I don't agree on wifi and Bluetooth functions on a flagship killer dap. That's not my style and how I see my dap, how I use my dap. If people demand it and James puts it, fine, they would be happy with it, I won't be. Is it the end of the world? Hell no, there are other daps out there.
If I am not mistaking DX50/90 is based on Android too but they do play music only, not going to wifi or Bluetooth. Which is a what a dap supposed to do.
If I wanted a wifi Bluetooth device, I would get a smartphone or tablet...
I think I pretty much give up on X7.. All those wifi and Bluetooth thing.. What, are you trying to make a iRiver dap? We want a legendary flagship dap, not a fancy toy with tons of useless features..
Bluetooth would seem to be anathema to the concept of high-end audio, and Wi-fi is about as necessary as **** on a bull, while threatening to use up precious battery life.
A similar comment applies to the poster who on one of these X7 feature threads wanted to be able to stream internet audio feeds via Wi-fi to the player. Excuse me - why would you want really low-res lossy-encoded audio streams to be played back through a high-end DAP? Isn't that what we have our cell phone for?
So put me, too, in the 'minimalist' camp. Give me a great music player with long battery life, and leave the Wi-fi, Bluetooth, big screen, and all the other stuff to my phone or tablet or whatever else that we all have already.
