or at least something like ibasso store which is a simulation of application market.

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?

I really hope they don't do this. When you have the "license" from Google to use the Play Store, you are obligated to install all the crap that came with Google, like in Android phones. Onkyo did this.
It's better have an alternative store or just get the apk. Today is very easily to get using apkmirror or other.

The only bad thing is with programs that you bought, like Neutron, for example.

From using Fiio x5iii before this one, x5iii have play store but I haven't seen foreground craps you said, maybe some are running in background or integreated with system.

Maybe Ibasso can go on the same way by having play store but didn't install unneccessary craps ?

If modders can make decent custom ROMs and port a custom recovery like TWRP to the DX200, getting Google Play to work would be much easier. If you want Google Apps, you can flash any one of the packages offered by opengapps.org. If you just want bare minimal Google Play functionality, you can simply use their Pico package and then install Neutron or any other applications from Play Store.

Guys, can DX200 transmit audio via Bluetooth while in DAC mode (When playing something from PC)?

X5 III doesn't have Chrome, Play Music, Youtube and others programas installed?

I think if we just want a decent music player we do not need Playstore, but iBasso need to work hard improving the Mango player to satisfy everyone needs. DX200 has really good start, the software is pretty stable.

Well, I got the screenshots sorted out.
 
Installed an apk and tinkered around. Easiest way getting them back on my computer was via bluetooh.

Why we need an Android mode if no Play Store?? I cannot install paid app without it...

Sadly no. Hope they implement this in near future fw update

To get streaming service app.

I agree- we have phones and tablets for that stuff - why burden a player with stuff you don't need to play music, and that may degrade the sonic performance?  Just my 2 cents worth

So when are going to see a few more of them on sale in the US?
