As it is the same SoC, I would expect DX300 to have a WIFI performance similar to Hiby R8 (assuming there are no RF design issues, which I don't expect). First one for 2.4GHz, second for 5GHz on R8:

That’s true but I think R8 fw is probably coded better since they are using less RAM with more battery life (way more!). However, with better specs I can see people with the skills in customizing their firmware if that’s possible to get it to run way better and maybe sounding better???

They may also be true with firmware update. I wonder if they will include Master FPGA updates as well to “optimize audio performance.” Haha

There always seems to be assumptions made about something new from cars to computers and on.

By the way, where will you get yours in the EU? I contacted AudioHeaven in Poland (which is an authorised dealer) and I was told that it might take like 3 weeks for shipment.

Advancedmp3players.co.uk, also AD, could not give me dates for availability in UK...

That is because as Ibasso has clarified , the shipping is just starting to happens. I don’t expect any officials stores to have it yet

Sonic performance identical. That is pretty much all you need to hear, unless I mis understood what he said. I have compared the two daps in the video and they do not sound the same and the M11 is no where near as good. Silliness but then it only goes to show that some people really don't hear a difference and that is ok, they can buy something that is really cheap and be happy.

son-video and audiophonics are the official distributors in France, not sure when they'll get the DX300

Such people are blessed and so they can save a lot of money. People who can hear the differences are cursed

Correction people who can hear the difference's wallets are cursed, otherwise it's all a blessing

OK, cool. I think last time AudioHeaven received it earlier (hours feel like days for a hyped person in this hobby).

PS: What I meant above is I don’t expect it to have any issues with WIFI.

Preferences, rest of you gear, type of music, mixing engineer’s headphones and speakers... They all in the end affect what enters your ears and tickles your brain. For the audio preferences, I don’t see the reason to try to prove anything what is better than what.

To this day, I couldn’t get how someone can listen to Utopia for more than 5 minutes but many do. For me it is too harsh and aggressive. The best headphone I ever got is Solitaire P, which many people don’t like because it is way different from the harman target. For the first time ever, I am able to listen for hours and can’t stop listening, and I am listening everyday since I got them. Many headphone gurus bash them. But I don’t care really. I don’t have their ears and likes, they don’t have mine.

Per Paul's comment about all the hassle of dealing with unauthorized dealers. It has nothing to do with reputation of any particular store. When you have brand new design platform anything could happen in the first production batch, even outside of manufacturer control (remember 4yrs ago ghost screen issue in DX200?). So buying from authorized seller will just give you a peace of mind just in case if something might happen and you want a quick turn around to get a replacement. Knock on wood, nobody expects anything to happen, but it's life.

Even battery explodes from Samsung Galaxy a few years back. It isn’t fun, but parts come from different other companies and that is why the warranty
