I think it looks really cool, not as much as the Ak100 but better than a lot of players!

Agreed, the AK100 looks great. I sure wouldn't want to keep it in my pocket tho - one brush against that humongous volume knob and your IEMs are blasted, just like your ears.

Software volume lock.

Having previously owned the RWAK100 for a short period, that doesn't have this raised area of the ak120, I can say the digital volume control knob takes very large movements to even change volume in the slightest. I'm talking multiple complete revolutions; so to change the volume enough to hurt your ears while inserting or removing an AK player from a pocket, it would have to be done so many times and so quickly, you'd have a better chance of being arrested for public lewd behavior before you changed the volume a substantial amount.

I like the big buttons on the DX50.

Very nice to hear that!

I just love the look of the DX50. Wish they was dual inputs for now since 2TB is a long way to be 'affordable'. But come to think of it, had it 2 inputs, we would have 2TB + 2 TB of memory.

LOL- hilarious. Best thing I've read all week.

There's also a lock option on it so the volume knob is disabled when its in sleep mode. To increase / decrease the volume you need to activate the screen again.

Yeah, I havent heard it. e-earphone should provide an impression soon (though it will be in japanese). Im sure there will be other first impressions by then. If not, I will happily translate it

Sorry guys, I thought it said 'You can bring your own microSD card to audition', about the DX50, but in fact it was for the picture above (AK120). The DX50 in that picture is just a sample (it is empty internally). Sorry for getting your hopes up!

Subbed. Studio V replacement?

Haha...to be fair, the display screen on it was a giveaway

Yeah, I looked at the picture more closely and thought it was odd so I went back and checked

Hmmm... Gotta say, as a very happy D-Zero owner, I'm curious about the D-Zero SE as well. Wonder how it stacks up performatively and monetarily? 

 

[Anthony1]

Hmm I have the D-Zero as my workbench amp and its pretty tiny and yet comparatively similar in size to the DX50 in the pic. Nice

 

[Theogenes]

The SE edition may be larger than the non-SE version though, not sure.

What's the difference between the SE and the original D-Zero? Did they change the chips or something?

 

[Retrias]

that is the approximate shape and size? looks pretty good , Pretty interested, seems to be as big as the old ipods ? but with the new ones wide, that is not a lot of buttons though, I just hope the middle one is a dpad and clickable
