Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT | Dual Dac | Balanced | Phone DAP

[addyg]

If only that were the case.. In my country, South Africa, the dual-SIM/dual-standby version of the S7 Edge is not available (unless it's a grey import), and I desperately need a dual-SIM phone...
The DP-CMX 1 gives me that...

...and a HUGE PLUS; the 3.5mm jack allows for a earphone with mic, so I can make and take calls, whilst listening to music.

Do think I would need to carry 2 battery-packs/portable charges tho

I only carry one portable charger 5000mah for my dpx1 and htc m9 phone.

Thanks bud... Good to know.
 
I'm a bit of a heavy portable music listener and smart phone user.. and am usually tethering my mobile data to my PC or notebook.
I have a 10,000mAh portable charger, so I should be golden.
 
Only need the Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT now.

I am thinking that it is a lot to pay for a unit equipped with a MSM8956 Qualcomm these days. Soon there will be Snapdragon 835 phones.

Suppose it depends on what you want @toears
 
For me it's a choice between:
 
A more than adequately spec'd smartphone sharing a case with an amazing DAP, allowing you to take & make calls in-between listening to sweet tunes in awesome in awesome quality, with amazing battery life...
 
Or a bleeding edge smartphone, with a super powerful CPU that drains equally super fast, whilst the only major benefit you really gain is ability to crush candy faster, as the convenience of the the fingerprint unlock & wireless charging it provides doesn't come close to the massive inconvenience of swapping devices, etc. between your DAP and the phone, when you finally notice the 7 missed calls and 20 msgs.

I certainly hope that there's an android-wear app for Tidal.. as I will definitely be taking advanced of the dual-SIM set-up and the MQA playback the Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT provides for streaming music EVERYWHERE!
 
I mentioned this elsewhere, but worth mentioning here as well... All I would need, after getting the Onkyo DP-CMX1 GRANBEAT, is an app that allows me to listen in via the mobile phone's MIC... Then I'll NEVER remove my IEM's

256GB internal storage
24bit DAC
Android 7.0 
VR ready smartphone...

This one's also coming in Feb.  I think this Asus ZenFone AR is much better than LG V10 or V20.
 
I thought this Onkyo phone will come at $500 price tag.

 You better go with the distributors 12:am 3/31 date just to be safe. ONKYO could be releasing units for official review or their gold star VIP clients.
e-earphone would look dumb to announce a midnight release if Fujiya Avic or someone else already was selling it.
