it sounds like its within the ZX2 territory so the price shouldnt be much cheaper if at all

  Going to be pricey, UK dealer said it will be 500 pounds, converts to $700-$800 for the Pioneer dap, but it is possible the pricing could be in favor of the dollar currency, then price would be $600-$700. The Onkyo variant will likely be quite a jump in price seeing as it has dual dacs they might be going after AK120ii, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's price was easily over 1K 

 

Yes.. if that's the original MSRP, I think we will see this for about $500 three months after its release...
That's not bad and certainly is a better deal than $1400 AK players which have only one microSD card slot...
 
 
What's wrong with that Onkyo device? 1k? who did say so? 
That Onkyo device looks just like AK240 honestly.

Onkyo dap is said to be under 1k yen.

When can we see this on Amazon???

  Wow it's pretty massive. I mean I kinda had a guess when the screen is 4.7" but visually next to the AK100...

Maybe a perfect size match with the XPA-700?

Now this is interesting...

I am not sure what the point of the handle is. It also seems a bit large but otherwise the design is nice.

Perhaps to keep you from bending/breaking input & headphone connectors - protection.... It being so big, it might be practical.

The bumpers are removable so moot

Good point

It is done more to match with their dac/amp. It might be used as a locking mechanism.

Any idea of price and release date in Japan? Sorry if I missed it

 

[AnakChan]

Nope, but I've not talked to the shops recently. Somehow I get the feeling that this is released overseas first but the Fujiya Autumn festival is just about a month away anyway.
