Thank you. I didn't notice who you are addressing and was looking for more images of the DX100 on the thread and couldn't figure out where they were! lol

I know - and maybe I am misreading his post - but he seems to be presenting this as an argument in favour of the D2. It isn't since the D2 and DX100 are both all-in-one devices.
 
No biggie. I just find it impossible to ignore errant logic. It's low hanging fruit.

Lol what do you mean by low hanging fruit? Is that suppose to mean crazy or dumb?

Back on topic, I personally am passing on the DX100 for now because of my love of my current rig. (In fact, I have a high-end LPAD cable on the way from Qusp using matched custom zfoil resistors to give me the best low volume control with the CLAS+Stepdance. Okay I am a bit of a fanatic but I know what I like.)
 
However, I did also just buy an 8GB MicroSD card so that I can spend some quality time soon with Wagen's DX100 - this time listening to my own music. (It cost all of $8.) The DX100 is a very cool device.
 
One observation: Not all of us care about > Redbook high def files. (I for one care not at all.) So there are several good Android apps that make the DX100 a gapless DAP. And you can always switch to the native app for high def when necessary.

Is power amp one of these apps lol I don't recall if having gapless?
 
You better be careful know you may end up regretting spending more time with your friends DX100 and may end up throwing your CLAS rig out the window .

Yes, PowerAmp is gapless and I like it. I do find that some red book high res sounds very good and noticed this even on my high end home setup when comparing to SACD. 
 

Yes, gap-less playback with PowerAmp works well? Could you comment on that? Is it really seamless? Most of my musical library is regular 16bit/44kHz FLAC, so I don't really need the high resolution so much; would have been nice if it were possible to have everything working perfectly as it should in their native player, but I could live with an alternative solution. Just how good does PowerAmp work, and is the sound quality on par with the same quality audio files played in iBasso's native player?
 
Otherwise I'm back on the iPod + HP-P1 combo solution.

Just preordered the dx100!!

 

[wolfen68]

I just preordered.  This purchase is probably the biggest leap of faith I've made while being at Head-fi.  If it works out like my past iBasso experiences...than I'll be very happy.

Congrats, let us know what you think.
 
I see they don't think they're going to be able to give us gapless.

If poweramp and other apps have this capability I don't see it as an issue honestly and I'm sure they should be able to implement it themselves if these other programs can do so.
 
So you still passing on this Somnambulist even though the preorder price is $765?

Yes, it goes from one song to another just like on a CD or like on a live concert, where one song melds into another. It works great.

Why is it that iPod and RockBox to name but 2 can manage gapless but none of the high end players can ?

It does using poweramp which I find poweramp to be much more user friendly than even the ibasso stock player and it sounds great. I don't see an issue here and poweramp does have gapless. Problem solved. Just another plus of having android.
 
At $765 you get your unit cheaper than a hifiman 801 and its superior from all the impressions we've gotten so far. Plus you don't have to buy a $200.00 game chip to make it "a portable player to use with portable sensitive IEMS".

 

[Somnambulist]

I'm not that fussed about gapless, it's been a while since I had a DAP that did it (Rio Karma a LOOOOOONG time ago). New firmware in 1-2 days for current owners to try out then... let's see how it goes.
 
So far I'm still on the fence between this and the HP-P1 combo, even if they bug fix lol, it's so hard to decide!

Now that is an interesting speculation as it may well be a path I'll take. I just pre-ordered the DX100 2 hrs ago too and just re-read this entire thread wondering if the DX100 will at least equate, if not, better, my iDevice+CLAS+SR-71B (or Pico Slim) combo.
 
Unfortunately there's only been one comparison of the DX100 vs the CLAS/Stepdance and no comparisons against the SR-71B yet (but there has been speculations only).
 

 

[Somnambulist]

Ah, good to see you here sir. I look forward to your comparison, as that kind of thing is what I need to help sway me.

Hope you enjoy your new toy. Looking forward to you ejecting your current rig off the highest building-top in Tokyo To .
