Speaking of debt for those uk'ers who want one of these advancedmp3players have these in for an eye watering £569.00! That's me certainly out!

Edit: Another update (and hopefully final) after 72 hrs.
Customs and shipping will make it close to £500.
Can be had much cheaper from FleaBay.
Shipping is unlikely to cost more than £20 through Tenso and you can avoid custom by altering the value of the package -at your own risk of course.
The cheapest on eBay is £455 and you very likely would have to add 22% import duty. I think I'll go for the £360 one.
You can edit the value if you don't get it insured, but you have to do it before paying the fee. I have done it with my JVC FXZ200, which should arrive next week -if everything goes to plan
Well, just joined the RWAK100 crew. Hoping it arrives with my JH16s before my next business trip. Figured I'd hold off on picking up a Benchmark DAC2 for a bit since I'm spending less time at my desk and with my HD800s.
Sorry I missed the 72 hr mark. Now my player has had 96 hrs burn-in - continuous.
At high gain, I find it hard to tell the difference between the DX100 and RWAK100 now. I find myself being fickle preferring the DX100 on one track but the RWAK100 the next. To me this means that really that they're on par and there is no clear winner - SQ-wise. I'm doing the tests on the Sony XBA-30 and the custom-tuned UM SE530x8.
After I've cleared the tracks on my DX100, it's now ready to be packed up.
So, the SQ is on a par, but one device costs a lot more since after pruchasing the device it must be modified to reach this level of SQ. And also buying that same device would be putting money into the coffers of a company that has been far from a good corporate citizen.
Not to mention other intangibles like: iBasso has already released several firmware updates, the most recent of which drastically improved SQ. How diligent do you think iRiver will be with firmware updates? Or will you have to rely on RWA for firmware updates?
To me, this is a CLEAR win, no, a clear TROUNCING by the DX100! And you're ready to give up your DX100? Why? Simply because of size? The Terra player is even smaller, why not just stick with that?
I'm sorry, I respect your opinions, and I mean no offense, but you're really not making much sense IMHO.
