Tubes! Glorious tubes!
You genius!
Suddenly my coffee tastes even better this morning

I doubt it will be much different. Look at the Hifiman DAPs. If X7 turns out to be exactly the same size as X5, then the "flash" factor is an added bonus. Also having a module is much sturdier and offer more protection than just a circuit board. Especially, if you find yourself swapping amps a lot.
I also prefer the x7 amp modules over the Hm-901 amp cards. It is less primitive.
Owning the 901, I can say this is a great idea, much more ergonomic than swappable amp cards IMO. Congrats James.

Amp module for X7
No it would not make all happy.
It's an utterly insane idea!
Why on earth should someone have to buy a new amp module just in order to replace a faulty battery?
I was looking at another possible alternative to retrofit a user replaceable battery since an amp module would have to be swapped in and different amps may have different power requirements. The user replaceable battery feature is important to me and others that have commented in this thread. I would rather send an amp module in to have a battery replaced then send my entire DAP. Calling an idea "utterly insane" is rude and disrespectful.
Calling a person utterly insane might be construed as rude or disrespectful, but an idea is just an idea, and no harm done, for or against. I'm sure the idea wasn't offended by being called insane
So please don't get personally offended by something which wasn't personal at all.
This whole thread is chock-full of competing and opposing ideas, with strong opinions being voiced, all over the place. It's all good. None of it really matters. We're all just enthusiastic in our different ways and a bit of banter, back-&-forth is quite harmless
I feel a little insane multiple times every day when I look at all the things I have done. Ideas can be very personal and as such, it could be construed as a personal attack, to demean the idea. I know, I often do warfare on my own ideas. lol
Maybe it's a British thing, but playfully bouncing ideas around, in a challenging manner, is quite normal and accepted here - even embraced.
As for being insane - I totally agree!
99.999999% of humankind is insane, crazy, nuts, etc., in a myriad of individual and collective ways, and I'm every bit as crazy as the next person, and the next...
Heck - even life itself seems crazy, much of the time!
Also a different finish would also be nice.
A little O.T., In general, what is the design looking at to this point? Wheel or touchscreen? Battery size (mA)? X-buttons? I like the module idea: Hope it gives the 901 a good run for its money. I heard a small amount of scoffing on the 901 thread when I mentioned the X7.
I'd just like to hear a summing-up to this point.
Thanks.
