Yes it is )) I forgot to add the best feature of N8, the price will be under 1K to kill all other flagships :)

double it and you might be right. 1.2-1.5k would be great price for a flagship with performance above it price range like the ibasso dx200 but hey who knows right?

I say: In some form or another, either with amp modules or some other internal feature, the N8 can incorporate VACUUM TUBES!

Really looking forward to checking out this DAP as I was genuinely impressed with n5ii sound and it's price. Hope this one goes even further with SQ while keeping it's competitive pricing!

Don't vaccum tubes generate a LOT of heat?

Sure do. :D

This option, in my mind, would be for those who don't plan to carry it in their pocket, but set it on a table/desk/etc, where it's exposed to air.

Take that idea and make it into something like FiiO's K5

I also suspect the N8 will have more robust Bluetooth functionality. With HiBi Link, and the ability to send and receive high-res BT streams.

OR, they decide to go uber "Audio Priority" and kill off all wireless functions. We'll see :wink:

When I first heard about the N5ii, it was described to me in such a way where I believed all WiFi, BT, Apps, etc, were nonexistent. Where it was just a boiled down music player. That excited me. Turns out, that wasn't the case at all, I was confused to find all that stuff in there.
