Hello everyone I have a simple question for you, including ak Jr. and DX80 as pure SQ what is the best?

Maybe I'm a bit late. But I had AK Jr and having DX80 now. I lost my AK Jr pretty silly. I just washed it. And it's completely died.
I really was wonder how DX80 will sound after AK Jr. I hoped it would be really better (although price range of AK Jr is higher).
Well in the end after listening DX80 for quite a lot of time I can totally say that AK Jr SQ was better after all.
I'm not talking about UI now or design, microsd supporting or DSD and etc.
But when I first listened AK Jr I had something like 'wow'. Sound really impressed me (after my Asus Xonar STX).
What I can't say about DX80. Don't get me wrong DX80 is a great DAP for its price. By memory I believe DX80 sound stage is wider than AK Jr's. Sound is more neutral. 
 
But after all I would like to pay more but to get AK Jr sound.
 
p.s. Well maybe my headphones dont fit well with DX80. So I still don't know its full power haha. But it was same headphones when I listened to Ak jr though.
