I don't know what dsd is so I don't care for one ... If it only makes flac and mp3 sounds excellent them I will buy it
It seems QLS QA360 does. It has analog volume control (TI PGA2311) implemented using digitally controlled resistor network. IMHO this is the way to go.or maybe someone can let us know which DAP supports native DSD?

Given that the Oppo HA-1 does DSD natively (supposedly), and uses the same chip as planned for the X7, and James has/had an affiliation with Oppo in the past, could you not look in their neck of the woods to see what was done? I'm not sure if the implementation would work given that FiiO's design is meant to be considerably smaller (DAP vs full size DAC/amp - Obviously), but it might be worth looking in to.
Although I'm no electrical engineer I find it interesting to read about the possible challenges, like the ones brought up in the above post.
Desktop gear are different story as they often don't use digital volume control because they have plenty of space to implement a good analog volume control which avoids all the issue with digital volume control.
Yeah, the amp in the HA-1 is full analogue class-A so I wouldn't expect it to be the same. However, isn't there a smaller volume attenuator, or something, to control the output (line level?) from the DAC in a DAP? Again, just spitballing.

there comes with a volume control after ES9018 in X7. but is it means that X7 is 100% native supports DSD, who know ? the question is , who have the right decided what is native DSD ? depended on my knowledge I never find there are any answer about this.
james , can we have a better battery life , like 20hrs may be ? 10 is not long enough .
