need to order this! prayers of the iem owner's have finally been answered!!

Wow another DAP to look out for!

 

[Rollk2]

 but now, go for the HDP-R10 or waiting for DX50... Somebody know his hardware spec ? A price ? Thanks for this news !

It's a personal take but I much prefer this purpose built approach to an enhanced android device. I do understand that the DX100 is more than that but this size, tactile buttons etc is very appealing. I hope they aim it directly at IEMs and efficient portable cans to allow good battery life and noise floor without the need for an elaborate amp circuit etc. Size looks appropriate for easy portability, like you could fit it in your Otterbox along with your CIEMs.

Nice! Reminds me of AK100~ Nice sleek design

If (it's right as we would expect from IBasso) they can find a way to build these in quantity and keep the price down, I could see iBasso selling a lot of them to everyone's benefit.

This reminds me more of an apple product or an ak100 compared to the rather brickgeek dx100, not that i hate that kind of design
If its 400 dollar and below i am ready to give it a try (unless they want to try dx150)

Really nice, I hope 24/192 playback,8h+ battery life and no pop sound please.

Looks cool as competitor from AK 100
I hope SQ can compete AK 100 as well
