SQ x7 what is greater than the DX80?
For you, since you just got the AK Jr, and have the grades, I'd easily say the X7 is better for you and your equipment. In general, the X7 is better; However, that's not to say that some aspects about the DX80 isn't better. For me personally, the DX80 is better not in SQ, but in form factor (very subjective), and price (not subjective). For me, it's hard to justify the price to my wife why the price is truly justified to buy the X7 over the DX80. In her opinion, a player shouldn't cost more than a 128gb iPod Touch. So to her she sees no reason to pay the extra $250 to get the X7. Honestly, there are a lot of people (average consumers) that believe the same. Therefore, the logical product to buy is the DX80 in that regards. As it's less than the iPod touch her sounds a lot better, plus has the dual SDCARD slots of r memory expansion.
In addition, for me and my earphones, it's more to my liking, since I (in general) own primarily warm to dark earphones. Therefore since the DX80 is bright to hot natured, it's a perfect fit together. Like I stated earlier, it's all about what works for you and your equipment and your own personal tastes.
I will end it by stating, yes, the X7 is the better of two in terms of SQ. due to a lot of reasons that will become boring to read, but that isn't to say someone who buys the DX80 will be disappointed by it. Especially if they don't want to spend the extra $300 to get the X7.. As it doesn't sound twice as good... But does offer amenities such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the Android OS to make up for the price difference.
