I bet you know it but the price got cut to USD 199 lately.

Just to be sure - it does not have Tidal, right?

Unfortunately, I didnt have time to try to update the FW from SD card yesterday (but I dont think it will be possible). However, I have found out the following: 1. In the user manual in Japanese section there is no mention of Tidal (only TuneIn and radiko.jp that are both present on the...

My XDP-30R arrived today and I have the same problem (no Tidal). I will try to update its firmware from SD card in the evening.

Aluminium (i.e. one of the softest metals) is much easier to machine than titanium (one of the hardest metals). I am not saying that Bob didnt exaggerate, just dont think that comparison with aluminium is fair here.

Well I am not sure about that. It would make sense due to the price difference but I have never seen any exact statement what is really different between the two. Also, it may not make sense for Onkyo/Pioneer to make two only slightly different DAPs as the costs of mass production of one...

I want the Susvara because I believe it may be the pinnacle of what is currently possible with the headphone concept. I want it because I trust it will sound godly, because I want to get immersed into the music with it and shut the door on the world for those few moments in a day, because I...

They will be made of zinc alloy. EDIT: I recall Bob saying aluminium was too fragile and steel too heavy. This should be something in between.

"Now today They have updated their site this and shipped my order to India yesterday without my consent." (sorry, unable to quote for some reason) Well, that sucks big time. I would just not accept the package and demand the item to be send to UK. On the other hand... does this mean they are...

I found a spec sheet / promo leaflet for the Pioneer XDP-30R here: http://www.pioneer-audiovisual.eu/sites/default/files/datasheets/english/XDP-30R.pdf   I did not find any mention of USB audio out but the Tidal support seems like a sure thing.
