Can anyone speak to how well the DX200 works as a desktop DAC? I want a device that has the new ES9023, so I'm trying to talk myself into spending $800.

 
Its perfect. Install the drivers, plug it in, click 'DAC ON' and you're done.

How does a Rockboxed DX90 compare to the DX200. I read some comparisons but I'm not sure if the comparisons were done with a stock DX90.

How is the pairing between Andros and dx200? Any special benefits from dx200?

Many people are asking this kind of question so let me answer once and for all. DX200 is one of the least colored DAP on the market, so it's compatible with almost any IEMs or headphones. The DX200 is like a piece of white blank paper. So what color you used on it is what color you get. Basically what you hear is the sound signature of whatever IEMs you pair with dx200 cuz dx200 is not doing any coloration except huge soundstage, great separation and analytical ability. So what you hear is the own sound signature of your IEMs with enhanced technical ability. No tune dilution or frequency boost is added to your IEMs with the dx200.

It will not matter which firmware DX90 is using, even one formulated by NASA themselves, DX200 is a decent level up.

Actually the NASA fw on the DX90 is really nice.

Hope they considered to build their FW on DX200 too.

It is mainly because of hardware differences.

Wow politics are in this too lol?
Chairman Xi should probably start the Headfi Diplomacy with President Trump

  A stand somewhat similar to the Cowon Plenue S docking station would be amazing.

I'm totally with you, @Greggo.

Hopefully better (and a lot cheaper!) than the huge Plenue S base station, which for two-and-a-half grand doesn't even have a remote...

Do you think we'll ever get the Google Playstore on DX200 in future firmware. Is their some licensing reason why or legal cause? 
 
I've seen a few DAPs getting around with it the last few years, why not DX200?

Google play may unneccessory for some people, but other who paid for something there need it to earn what they paid
