Before I comment I want to clarify that I'm about to share a differing perspective, but it is in no way at all meant to make your perspective less important or valid.
My take on a DAP (emphasising that this is just or me and not saying your take is wrong in any way) is that I use it on the go and therefore mostly with IEMs so I would personally prefer the highest quality sound even if it means less power. Of course if we can have both then that's great, but quality of power and portability (i.e. small size) would be my preference over an emphasis on quantity of power.
I'm interested to see the way FiiO ends up going on this and quietly hope we can have both lots of power when required and also awesome quality with sensitive IEMs, but I know that can be a tall order
Completely agree. DAP is the device to be used on the go. IMO for people who want to listen to high impedance headphones there are stationery DACs/AMPs and if one wants to listen to his high impedance headphones on the go he/she should be aware of the necessity to add an AMP to drive them. I really don't like this trend to focus on power in the portable devices (complete nonsene).
