Well....looks like we finally got the answer to our questions. On paper it looks pretty good and the price is up there but not outrageous if it actually delivers all that and a bag of chips sound wise.
 
Congrats estreeter and kiteki you both nailed the pricing
 



YES !!!!! In your face, everyone else !!!!!!

Back to reality - assuming that first batch isnt already gone (and I suspect that it is), I'm going to pass. I still want to see those reviews on battery life and UI ....

Let's see...what do they say where I come from? Oh yeah...
 
inb4 ****storm (although admittedly, it's a bit late). Damn, this is a tough decision! I want it, but I'll wait until the first opinions come in.

For 829 bones I don't blame you. For that price this new DAP better make a night and day difference and have a completely pristine UI interface. The 7 hr battery life in my opinion is already one strike against it. Of coarse if the sound is killer its understandable if it isn't it's strike one right off the bat for the DX100

Just ordered mine!  Wonder how fast the 40 they have up as "review samples" will go.  it's huge, but looks sexy and has all the right features, plus the wav/alac/flac simultaneous capability makes it really nice.
 
Even if it's bigger than an iphone, it's a lot smaller than an iPhone, CLAS, DAC, and amp + all the associated cables.  The fact that it's all integrated, plus the ESS9018 DAC (which may be a pretty solid source for my Beta22 as well) means not having to worry about cables as much, just 1 item in your pocket that does it all.  Wonder what apps and other stuff that it has...perhaps full android apps & all that?

Just ordered mine as well. I'll do a right up on it and see how it does. If its really good then my Hifiman 601 is definitely going on sale. Doubt the Studio V will go though :wink:.

$829... pretty close to the 1k mark that I was talking about a month ago.

So what do you think ClieOS, if this thing actually sounds great will it make waves at that price point?
