Aesthetically I still prefer the R6 Pro, however, we will see what the specs for the DX220 look like and just how tiny the special discount from HiBy is...
Depends which AK you are talking about. None of those Picasso inspired, off-kilter designs do anything but annoy the heck out of me and go against all sense of elegance in design...
But then again - that is just my taste and opinion and that and $3 will get you a nice cup of coffee!
I have had my R6 Pro for one week or so now and I find its break-in process particularly "real"; its sound is still changing (improving) every day (especially through the 4.4mm connection)...
It's possible that the dx220 is a good jump up in price on it's own so that they're not quite directly competing anyway. I don't expect that hiby will stay at $799 for very long though either.... Id guess that in a few months the hiby will be ~$700ish and the dx220 will be $1000ish. That's not an insignificant price difference. The caveat being if ibasso sells a version of the dx220 without amp for current users of it's ecosystem.

Over in the DX220 thread there is a post suggesting they are trying to keep the price the same as the DX200 - so competitive with the R6 Pro assuming the $799 is the real price here. However, given they have not shared/finalized the hardware yet it is certainly no given.
