AK Jr thickness would be all right for me. Thinner is better, but if it means 20 hrs playback I'll take the AK Jr size.James mentioned 10mm, which is fairly thin already.
Yes I wish it had optical out... sth like ipod nano would be great too.
Putting on my product manager hat it would seem the other big decision for Fiio would be the price and positioning of this transport idea.
Is the market bigger for a cheaper low cost transport? Or a more expensive but better made/designed one? Who is the target market? Which type of enthusiast would go for a transport+dac/amp over the otherwise very nice x1/3/5/7 DAPs (or any other makers)? Imho such a transport should aim at the higher end market where users are not even satisfy with X7 type of sound and is willing to bear the cost (monetary and bulk) of a stack. Maybe I'm biased as I myself is in such a situation and hope others can share your view.
