Could you elaborate more? The DX80 sounds interesting.

Ex1000 

Perhaps. I feel that there's something coming up soon - just a personal feeling.

True that, but would like to try it for myself to see how this new technology actually fares in my perspective. But kudos to LG's R&D department for their reasonable attempt to attract audio fans.

Not a characteristic, but with just the specifications and conditions it will vary. Just wait for Sony's Sale where they throw a 20% discount at almost everything they can throw at.

Yep agreed ^^^

Will definitely be interested and keeping a look out for it. Do share your experiences and thoughts about the equipment !

You're right. The price may be a deal-breaker for some, but I would like to get my hands on it and try it ~

How about the LG G5 with their audio-dedicated module? Interesting, right?

I've tried the X7 and I would say it was great but could be improved in certain aspects, not to elaborate. I agree, I feel that recently there are a few manufacturers, who are stepping up to introduce higher quality DAPs at a more affordable pricing for the low-budget audiophiles. But all in...

XBA 300 has a warm touch of bass, not too overpowering must just enough to get you locked on the music with the detailed bass it produces. 

Try OPPO HA2 or SONY PHA3!

Let time do its thing, hahaha. People may question the burn-in process often but I feel that it somewhat does make a difference, be it psychologically or in reality.

There isn't much downside to that actually.

Keeping an eye out for products made by Chord Audio. Never cease to amaze me.
