I'm hoping you mean 'double DAC'd' : as discussed earlier in this thread, the jury is still out as to whether or not having two DAC chips automatically makes one source better than another : I've long been of the opinion that implementation is the key. If that wasnt the case, everyone would simply rush to their cheapest offering containing their preferred chip and sadly life isnt that simple.
I agree with this but at the same time every AK dual DAC version beats the single with the DACs they've chosen to use.
How interesting. This player seems really cool due to the small form factor. One thing I love about my AK100II is the incredibly deep and wide soundstage. But the bass while having great extension doesn't really have the impact I typically enjoy on my commutes.
The DX90 does this better but doesn't sound as detailed and smooth. Also the dx90 sounds really flat due to its lack of soundstage depth.
From what it seems like the Junior is a bit in between these two DAPs and might be a good purchase. Can't wait for more impressions!

You must be listening to a totally different DX90 compared to mine. I have many daps and I would never describe the DX90 as sounding flat and lacking depth. Just the opposite to my ears. I hear a deep soundstage, which is also layered with good imaging. The AK100 II, which I have is a great player, not as good as the ZX2 but very good but the AK100II is more of a different sounding player compared to the DX90. The DX90 has more energy, the AKII a little more refined but both complement the music. The AK100, well it is an enjoyable dap but was and is too high priced for what you get and the sound is not as good as the DX90 (my AK100 has the 22ohm resistors on the output bypassed, which improved the sound).
Definitely an option but sadly I don't have Prime anymore and though Amazon seems to be great with returns, I am unfamiliar with returning to international vendors (who are selling the ZX2 for the cheapest prices).
In the end it may be a good option since I can always sell it on the marketplace but I don't want to make this decision lightly.
definitely can't for your insight of the playerMy Jr has just arrived! Updated the firmware to 1.02 and it is now charging and scanning my micro SD card.
Debating whether to put the screen protectors on. On the one hand, it'll project from scratches. On the other hand, I suck at putting screen protectors on, so it could turn out really ugly![]()
