The knob in your pocket..Could be locked pushed down. Pull up to engage volume.. Do you know any stacks that can fit in jeans pockets?

iPhone 6 and FiiO E18, done.
With the PHA, I'm inclined to say that the Seiun Pro and Pro X should be able to sit on top of it flush. I wouldn't feel safe with my DAP hanging off the end waiting for somebody to bust it up with a poorly placed elbow rest. I'd personally like to see them lock to one another. I'm thinking a magnetic connection would be the coolest, but some physical latches could work too.
I find the magnet idea attractive. ..
Just not sure how much scope we have for changes to designs, wish they came here first...
Once AMD CPUs can also use a third of the power and perform on par with Intel, then I will mention AMD. Right now, processing power per watt, AMD is the CPU equivalent of a Hummer with the CPU strength of a family sedan. Said differently, Intel Atom chips sipping 4.5 watts are almost in line with the performance of AMD chips guzzling 15 watts. And Core M at 4.5 watts operates faster than AMD chips using 19 watts. It makes me wonder how AMD is still in business with all the near-zero margin sales they do to keep competitive.
Granted, the AMD Radeon iGPU powering their APUs packs a powerful punch compared to last year's iGPUs in Intel CPUs. But the new Skylake graphics found in the Core i3 and up far and away outperforms all but the top, pricey desktop APUs. And even then, they are either neck-and-neck by a couple frames or Intel still comes out on top by a huge lead. And Intel Iris just makes AMD look like it is finally on its death bed.

Wait, so you want AMD to be 3 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT than Intel chips to even consider them? >.<
I'm not even going to comment on that.
Anyways, the Atom line is for the super low power consumption models/phone chips Intel makes. You're comparing tablet/phone power consumption with laptop consumption. When you actually compare AMD's ultra mobile chips like its Mullins lineup, you can see that their lowest power chip is 3.9 watts.
Also, the AMD's fastest Mullins chip, the Micro-6700T, outperforms Intel's highest performance Atom, the x7-Z8700. Take a look:

While the comparison between the graphics performance of AMD vs Intel chips you included is accurate, you're comparing the 7850K (not even the lastest AMD APU) to counterparts that are are literally 3 TIMES ITS PRICE. Of course it's going to be outperformed. Also, when you say top, pricey AMD CPUs, you do realize that the 7850K IS THE EXACT SAME PRICE AS THE i3 6100.
And before you start accusing me of being an AMD fanboy, keep in mind I'm running a 4770K in my system right now.
Im pretty sure Seiyun is probably a licensed rip of a Huawei or another Chinese brand phone, and had the phone functions ripped out and replaced with audio focused components. Companies like Huawei, Xiaomi and others have been churning out models at this price range which have similar spec and capabilities. Im probably going to judge it against the Oppo HA2 in terms of sound. The audio differences between components $100-200 apart are minor in most cases so if it matches then Seiyun can call it a win.
Funny, this was exactly what I had thought.
The photos from their facebook group look almost too similar to a Xiaomi Mi4i. I have this exact phone model, and I can assure you that they look exactly the same.

While they have updated their renders (Gallery), the fact that the initial photos of the Pro and the Pro X are this similar to an existing product is quite unsettling.
I want to believe that this is a feasible project, but I just can't at this moment.
