Nice review. Liked the perspective and comparision of what you have been used to in the X5. Did this N6 get warm after being used for a while?

Thanks @peareye. Yes, it does get warm and rather quickly as well. Even when not playing music it stays pretty warm.

Thanks Relic, a very informative and well written review!

Thanks @Light - Man. Had fun with the player which helps!

A really useful and robust review, thank you for taking the time and the excellent photo's.

Thanks @Rearwing!

great review, thank you for doing it.  i keep wondering whether i want to replace my very nice sounding dx90, or whether i've just got upgraditis.

Thanks @jk47. I haven't heard the DX90, but from what I've read the differences might be enough to justify the purchase. I would like to hear the DX90 though, and don't we all have permanent upgraditis?

I gotta get a better camera... did order a light box though. Liked your pics (and the review wasn't bad, either)...

I had the DX90 (mine broke in first month) I found it a bit on the dry side of musical, battery life not great either perhaps because of the twin DAC chips and I now prefer the Hidizs AP100.
 
Agree we all have permanent upgraditis!

@ x RELIC x Great review, and yes.. we all have a touch of upgaditus.

Excellent review and some particularly nice photos! Very nicely done, Relic.

Thanks @mrmoto050 and @Jeb Listens!!

I know we have clashed in the past RELIC. However that is a fantastic review. Well done.

Haha, no clash @Badas just passionate differences of opinion. Thanks!!

Congrats for your great review, also very good photos @x RELIC x

Very good, extremely detailed, review. Your description of differences in presentation compared to the X5, are fairly similar to my experience of the DX90 against X5. 

Great review! I like your pics
