Bought one of these today. Does anybody know if it sounds even better with an amp. I fancied a pure music player and this with 2 SD card storage fits the bill. I hope I like it when it arrives. Anybody know what iems go well with it for a metal and reggae listener?

It takes about 6 seconds for my DX120 to turn on and ready for music. The turn on time is about the same as my iPhone 8. The turn off is faster, at 1 second as the DX120 shuts off in 1 second but the phones takes around 4 to 5 seconds to totally turn off. So overall the DX120 is faster than my iPhone 8 with most of the memory of the 8 unused. Going to to albums and songs is extremely fast. Scan speed on a 400gb card is also fast. That is what I getting.

The respondsiveness of the screen still cant compare to smartphone in general though. When I swipe vertical or horizontally, I have to be careful it can mistakenly choose a song. Especially for the scroll, it's like impossible to use the scroll with one hand and also requires quite some effort to use even with two hand. My walkman A45 never had that kind of problem. All in all, still decent for daily usage.

How does the dx120 compare to the fiio x5ii sound wise?

The more I think about it, the more it seems like DX120 is an upgrade :)

But I haven't had X5ii for so long... I kinda miss it now that you mention it, but it really feels like DX120 is better, at least form what I remember about X5ii :)

DX120 surely is more configurable

Mine arrived today. It's a really nice sounding player. Mine is actually quite fast with a 200 GB card
