I'm ordering a 2.5mm balanced to 2.5mm mono cable soon, in order to test how the XDP300R can drive some of my headphones (HD700, ATH-AD2000, and my modified T40RP MK3). Will definitely share the impressions with this thread, if anyone's interested.

We desperately need headphone impressions and DAP comparisons in this thread

@SubSTI
Wifimedia can't deliver the case and screen protector because Pioneer EU don't have them (yet). According to them the case of the XDP-100R should fit.

Thanks for sorting this out.
Screen protector should be fine, screen used across XDP-100R/300R-DPX1/A is the same
 
XDP-300R 
  1. Size: 128.9 x 75.9 x 12.7 mm
XDP-100R
  1. Size: 128.9 x 75.9 x 13.0 mm
 
So the XDP-100R is slightly thicker, and has the 2 bulges on the bottom.
 
Edit: Looks like @Steve Buck already found out the XDP-100R case fits with a minor tweak: http://www.head-fi.org/t/821830/pioneer-xdp-300r-dap-dual-es9018k2m-balanced-out-android-5-1-mqa-2x-microsd/210#post_13137727

yes, I remember now that I read the post but I'm not spending that much on a case I have to make fit. I'll wait it out and protect the screen with a @folix protector.

The official 300R case is available on Ebay.

i didn't have a coupon and i get the same price. I think it is because they remove the local taxes from the pricing since everything in japan is shown to include their sales tax.
