  Don't think so.
 
By the way, do check out pics of the real thing here instead of computer-generated renderings

 
ooh looks sexyy... but the small onboard storage is a bit of a bummer..

Having heard the LP5... I shall wait for my chance to hear the L5.
 
If the L5 is indeed decent enough, it shall replace my AK100

Got mine for RMB3500 (USD560). Compared it to LP5 silver, C4 and DX90 with IE800 and He-400i.
With both the headphones, the l5 blows the DX90 away, not even in the same class. Vs C4, there's more treble extension and more details. The signature is similar, which means, good soundstage depth, clean and natural. Vs LP5 silver, the sounded quite similar, I think the L5 has an even bigger soundstage.

Finishing is great, it is down right classy.

Now the bad news, the touch screen is not of the capacitive type, that means u have to apply pressure on the screen.

It sucks to have a resistive touch screen but how's the interface? I hope it does not suffer from a buggy and slow UI like other Chinese DAPs..

The response is acceptable, but to scroll down a list of songs, you have press the soft "DOWN" button, not by sliding on the screen. It's is better than other Chinese Daps (except ibasso) in that it scrolls page by page, so it's faster to get to the song wanted, instead of scrolling track by track. So I think in a sense it's an improvement over older daps. If only it's capacitive touch screen, it could be a killer product for this price. I believe the SQ is in the league or beyond that of the AK120 II, which I heard recently with the same headphones (no direct A-B though).
