  Well I'm in the US and it has been quiet here. I hope b&h has them tomorrow, they're the only ibasso dealer I trust.

 
This post reminds me of when a video game releases.
 
Something tells me however shops don't have boxes of DX200's waiting out the back to stock on shelves.

It's real shame iBasso guys put only one microSD slot... and I expect this DX200 will also come with terribly slow 64GB flash internal storage which takes 40 minutes to transfer 40GB. 
 
DX100 and R10 have horribly slow 64GB flash storage which takes forever to transfer even 10GB of music. I remember they were even slower than micro SD card's transfer speed.
 
Given that microSD card is not faster either, I imagine DX200 will be a very slow device overall.  This is 2017... you can get USB 3.1 C which is much faster than USB 3.0 but it's still yet to see any device which can make use of technology available today.

2. The touch screen not very sensitive.

I guess maybe the wise thing would be just wait and see rather than speculating.

bugs are normal thing for the release day. Any words about sound?

 
Exactly, the initial release expected to have bugs.  And fw changes do affect the sound.  Also, I'm not worried as much about the first two bugs, but those Japanese characters could be a deal breaker for me

It's darker and larger than I expected. The fit of the amp module could be better.


Looks good and the case looks nice also. I look forward to hearing it.  I would think from what I have seen on fit and finish of the iBasso products, that the amp section fit would be pretty exact. I doubt this is something they would overlook.

Indeed. But i think it's also about light refraction.
I dont like the fact that its leather case is brown. I'd prefer the common color... Much more suitable.

Brown is pretty common. I have black, brown and orange Dignis cases and the brown for my X7 is my favorite.
