  I agree, price is really tempting.
What is holding me back:
* Android re-sampling stuff, which FiiO claims to have by-passed
On the other hand, if the Pioneer/Onkyo app suffices it's no issue.
* Output power, although it probably would be sufficiënt anyway
* Warranty / after-sales, not very positive reading old threads
 
But I still keep thinking about it. 

The standard player that comes with the XDP-300R seems to be OK indeed, and you can always revert to USB Audio Player Pro or Hiby Music if you don't like the stock player, these will bypass the android re-sampling for sure.
I had (still have a little)  my doubts on the raised quality issues as well, but afaik these were mainly related to the headphone jack, and it seems that this is solved now, but I do understand were you are coming from.
On the other hand: other brands have their issues as well, and considering the current price vs. the specs there is hardly any competition.
I just got tired of thinking

OTG does work (earlier in the thread someone tried a hard drive) but why would you want or need another DAC when you have this DAP as-is?

For mobile use, I'd use it as is, but for desktop use at work I'd like to use my external dac/amp that will now stay at my desk. Silly me though, I did a search and read through the first few pages of the results, but didn't bother checking the OP which does state it outputs digital audio through micro usb... Also went ahead and purchased it through Amazon Japan to ship to Canada. Came out to about $430 CAD shipped including import/duty fees. Considering Onkyo DP-X1 sells for $750-800 CAD here, I couldn't pass this up...

My thoughts exactly! I can't wait to try Balanced mode with the 2.5mm jack.

Well thanks, I just clicked the buy button. Damn, monday weakness.
Weird thing is that I now got a "Price decrease" mention in my cart.
Grand Total: 

EUR 355,15​

 
 
That's amazing 

 
Now I'm all hyped up

They don't? Weird as they do to The Netherlands.
 
@SubSTI
I've also e-mailed Wifimedia to ask if they can order the official accessories.
Could be cheaper than importing them from Japan.

I created a new account with Amazon JP and entered my address in Canada (Toronto) but I am getting the message: This seller for the item you selected does not deliver to your selected location.  Any ideas why?

Buy from amazon, not from 3rd party sellers. I posted instructions in the last page

Thanks boss 
 
For anyone else have issues - make sure you click the buy "New" link

This looks like an interesting case if you're already ordering on Amazon.co.jp -- just add it to your order if it lets you! Http://Amzn.Asia/6DQXydK

  Thanks, please keep us informed, still not much owners here unfortunately, mine is coming in 2/3 weeks.....
What Android version are you now on?
I am a sucker for sweeping VU needles, spectrum analyzers and such, does it have something like this?
 
Watch Amazon for the Sandisk 200GB cards, occasionally these are offered at $ 60,-

Gave it another run--looks like the graphic equalizer is something that you'd really enjoy!

Haha, you started it.
And thanks for the tip. Cancelled and reordered. Really unbelievable these price differences...You can by 2 from Amazon Japan for the price of 1 in Europe, and still have € 90 left to spare on a nice Trinity Phantom Master.

 

  They don't? Weird as they do to The Netherlands.

Good call, I will keep checking Ebay and the European Amazon sites and resellers, maybe we get lucky and find a decent case which won't break the bank.

Thanks, can't wait to get my hands on it! And please keep the observations coming.

Any more A/B comparisons?
