Ha ha ha. You are right. In case you do like volume knobs. Check out DAPs from Shanling.

  How expensive will the DX200 be? Whenever I see a large volume knob, I expect to see a high price.

Knobs are expensive and reduce THD by up to .0013%
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There is no sarcasm font on Head-Fi...or is there?

Why these DAPs ate always so big and bulk?
Something smaller and slim should be perfect.

Tera Player is made for you. Have fun.

I don't buy that knobs are expensive. The $15 Sony SRF-59 radio had a volume knob. The makers of very expensive music players might want you to believe that knobs are expensive.

 They need a facepalm icon on this site.
 
I've needed one several times in the past

Since I first saw the poll on Ibasso's Facebook page I have been searching for more details on the Dx200 and found nothing. I have a Dx80 on order but seriously tempted to consider the Fiio X7 or the Onkyo DP-X1. The Dx200 will be at least 6 months away I guess and probably a lot more.

The poster at the top of this page seems to know stuff. Maybe he responds or you PM him for any info regarding production estimates.

I messaged iBasso on Facebook and they replied that " There is no info at this time" and I told them that there is people eagerly awaiting some info.

 Grab the bull by the horns

 
Some folks think the X7 had way too long a buildup and other items that went fast from announce to in hand did better. I gotta think they are playing their cards close to the vest as a sales strategy.
Just my opinion.

Actually, that's just as much as I know at this point. Seeing how long it took the DX80 to hit the market even after the design was finalized, I wouldn't be surprised if it took a year before we start seeing DX200 on the retail shelves.
 
A development/testing phase DX80 unit was first showcased in a show or a meet during the First quarter of 2015. And it was only in November the device was up for sale. Within that period it underwent some minor hardware modifications and a major UI changes. 
 
Also, looking at the pictures, the design #2 shows an Android screen while the other 2 seem to be running Ibasso's firmware. Wonder which they will end up using or if they would use both.

Isn't the screen on #2 just the iBasso firmware menu, rather than the now playing screen as on #1 and #3?

Yes, correct.

I'm sorry I should have worded my statement better. You are right. The display on design #2 does show the iBasso menu. But the three capacitance buttons right below the screen indicates android.

Edit: May be the device runs both the OS or
may be iBasso considered android initially and put the three buttons there but decided to just go with the iBasso OS. Just my guesses and speculations.

I had another few weeks wait for the DX80 and patience isn't my strong suit so I swapped my order for an X7.....gotta be worth a try and 15% off retail. I have to say that I am very impressed with AMP3 and their customer service, all sorted for me via email in seconds and including a full refund for the DX80.
