Whats more important, UI speed or sound ?

That's a good question, but I don't think it has a simple answer. Obviously sound is very important. My QP2R excels at that. But the UI is slightly clunky, and it has zero features other than as a music player. Ideally, I'm looking for the overall total package. Great sound, great fast UI, and lots of useful options. I think the R6 Pro and the DX220 might deliver on all of those. I'm also looking at the SPKM, which is far more expensive (3x the price!) and likely has better sound, but also doesn't have all of the modern perks. Like most things in this hobby, I don't think there are any clear answers, it all comes down to personal preference, which is tough if I can't find each unit to demo, let alone side by side!

Right now I'm really looking for just a daily driver. Something that is truly portable, that I can commute with and get a ton of use out of. Under $1k would be ideal. Hence R6Pro or DX220. News can't come out fast enough!

You want these for streaming? If not there are easier on the go daps.

Yes, I'd like to have streaming and wifi in general...my current DAP doesn't have it.

Well if streaming is the main goal either should do well.

The SPKM can stream some too, but I'd like the ability to use Android apps to access my home server as well. I believe that the DX220 and R6Pro can do that, but I don't think the SPKM's open app approach allows that.

I just confirmed with FiiO that they have implemented on-the-fly PCM-to-DSD conversion
Please read carefully this thread to find out that, with well implemented devices like DX200, conversion to DSD lower than DSD512 has no sense, and why it is so (in brief: because a good DAC does it anyway). Then, I doubt that Fiio has implemented on-the-fly conversion to DSD512 or higher :wink:
