Hello,
 
This dock is very nice, there is just a problem with it: How do dock the X7 and hear music through the headphones when  docked?
That would be a nice feature to have a docking station leaving some space at the bottom to free the access to the head phone plugs?
 
Cheeres,
 
Alain

You don't, when its docked you can only get a line out signal, and have the X7 act as a dac via USB. You can also access the line out port on the top. At the moment the X7 firmware doesnt support line out through the dock interface and so you have to use the line out port on the top.
 
Will post more detailed impressions with pics tmr

  Hi,
Nice and beautiful dock shape! Is there any photos how it looks with

X5II ?

Very impressive!
One more question - what is a purpose of balanced/lineout switch in the back of the dock?

The retail version won't have the balanced out, mine was a prototype version. I dont have any balanced amps so I cant confirm how well it works. There must be a reason why FiiO took it out for the final release.
 
So with the line out port, you get a pure line out signal from whatever device you have docked with the exception of FiiO X7. This will be fixed via a future software update, but you can easily still access the kine out port on top of the X7, and the dock serves as a nice stand. Much better than having to use the K5 just as a doc. At 30 bucks, considering the awesome construction and functionality, I would reckon this is one of the better accessories the FiiO has put out to date.
 
I use mine with the X7 and E17K daily. I know I said I will post but something came up, so when I get a chance I will post more pics and impressions

I love mine. I bought it a few days ago and just love the added class it gives to my X3ii.

How much is the DK1 going to cost in the USA? I'll be there in August and am seriously concidering getting one while I am there if I don't win. It's a very good looking design. It would go perfectly with my computer speakers that has two inputs. This would be a good addition to my X3II. I wak thinking of the K5, but this would just fit much better for my needs.

Hi Jwolf,
 
The MSRP of DK1 is 19.99USD in the USA.

That's rather reasonable. Thanks.

A nice simple and clean design, somewhere to put my X7. I'm sure it wouldn't look out of place on my messy, untidy desk

 

[Maudivision]

Hi ! can I connect it to my home amplifier via the line out output of the dock or is the line out conceived for headphones listening ?
thank you!

 

[Brooko]

Line out is there so you can connect to an amplifier
