X1061 for american market or x1060 for rest of the world will not play flac or WAV right?

I Guess I count myself blessed to be in headfi land in Singapore where the resale market is fast and furious.

I snagged a pristine LPG platinum with only 7 power cycles for USD1250 just a month ago.

I completely disagree. I tried ak120 (and ak240) but did not like them at all - felt those would be a downgrades to my Tera player.
However, LPG was definitely an upgrade to Tera (which I still love and will never sell). LPG paired with Tralucent Plus5 is the end game for me as far as SQ goes (I still prefer Tera for true mobile use because it can be operated "blind" out of pocket, and it does not produce any heat whatsoever, unlike LPG).
Also, I feel $1500 I paid for LPG was a great deal given the amazing SQ (now that I know what it sounds like I would pay even more - although I do have concern about what will happen when the battery eventually needs to be replaced - same concern I have about my Tera).

I keep in touch regulary with Charles,when the battery really needs replacing he will do it.
Still going strong after nearly every day use for 4 years.

Just to clarify, I like my LPG, but I was just saying to rockcoon that if you had to pay the equivalent of half a year's wages for one, and you were using it as a DAP for an easy to power pair of Ultrasones, you might be disappointed in the amount of difference.  I have found in the past that some easy to drive headphones sound pretty much the same when you switch up the source.  This was true even for a pair of Final Sonorous X (probably the most expensive closed back portable headphone I know of).  Whether they were plugged into my ipod or a $3k A&K player, they didn't really scale.  I just watched a video review by Currawong for the new closed Sony flagship and he commented that they don't really change much from a change in upstream gear and mentioned that changing the cable probably made more difference to the sound than changing the source.  Of course I am generalising and I've not heard rockcoon's headphones, but I have noticed that all of Ultrasones higher end headphones have suspiciously similar specs so I am only assuming it will behave similarly to my edition 8's and other easy to drive portable headphones I have tried.  The LPG vs ipod classic with my Abyss makes a massive difference, but he's not using an Abyss so it's irrelevant - was just trying to give some situation-specific advice.

That's weird. I'm clearly hear the difference between my Opus 1 and other common sources like smartphone or notebook. Ant that's not just matter of power, it noticed across all frequencies. More clarity, better instrument separation.

As I said, I've not heard your particular headphones so I was only guessing based on similar experiences I've had.  If you feel like getting an LPG will be the answer for you, then go for it.  It's just so much money where you are!  I was only offering another point of view as I often find it's helpful to get a variety of experiences when making a purchase decision.  If you just go to the related thread and read up on what owners are saying, almost always the thread is very positive and reading through threads on head fi will often make you fall in love with a product even if you don't really need it.
 
Anyway, it looks like you're pretty sure about it so I'll leave you alone
