now this looks like a sleek brick !! ( looks good but still is a ..um..brick ! )
what about the price?

 

[nycdoi]

touch screen?? price?

 

[dippyboy_87]

looks cooler than the other 'hi-fi' daps.

 

[deadhead12]

That looks pretty cool.  I wonder what the storage options are gonna be? Hopefully expandable in some way. I also wonder how many people who were anticipating the X3(rip) will go this route instead? I guess it depends on what the price ends up being. (I'm kinda thinking it will be on the pricey side of things).
 
Edit: it seems the ppl on erji.net are thinking/guessing 3k-5k (yuan I presume) so like $500-$800 or there abouts...

I don't mind the size since I am looking for a replacement to QA350 with better format support and some form of UI. Hope it actually gets released (unlike X3), is reasonably priced, has a decent usable UI and some battery life - not too much to ask. The News release now says "We are finalizing the DX100 now. We can release it within 20~45 days". So, will wait and see how this one turns out.

Hahaha, that is nice. So no need to buy a iBasso D7 + Cowon D3.
 
Seems to have a capacitive touch screen

thats the problem !! erji.net is a major community , i basso may decide the price based on the response there and head-fi.
 
Keep it down. dont give them ideas !
 
price must be as per the performance ( and build )

[Parall3l]

Looks huge 

 I think I'm going to need a bigger pocket if I bought one of these

 

[Randius]

Holy crap! Wonder if this even needs the D12?! Wonder how close will it perform against HM602 and HM801?
 
Nothing mentioned about its storage though.
