TEAC HA-P90SD (To be released in Dec, 2014)

How cute is the P90 color matched to my Beyerdynamic DTX 102, sounds good together too 

I'm getting a black one to match my Note 4.

Yea I wish I got black, red is a little to much bling lol.

By the way, is P90SD's sound stage as wide as that of PHA-3 balanced??

kawaivpc1, forget about teac already and get yourself Centrance Mini-M8

I heard their product sounds good but it looks like a brick... too big for my pocket.

Balanced PHA-3 would have a wider stage, but the P90 would still compete on depth.

It's not that big in real life as it looks like on images. Worth trying, believe me.
You will get approximately 10 hrs of battery life, balanced output etc.

That's good. But PHA-3's short battery life and non-charging while playing feature make me really hard to decide. (Japanese model can do it but need to use a different USB port and perhaps an additional battery pack)
I'm still leaning toward P90SD because of Teac trademark reference sound and battery charging ability, additional SD card.

kawaivpc1, be aware that P90 needs certain headphones, IEM in order to get a right synergy. It's not pairing with Kaiser 10, Earsonic SM3, Etymotic Er-4S: soundstage tall & wide, deepness - none, all in your head

Have to wait and see if usb phone charging works, it's weird that it only works if it is off when connected to a computer. Personally If going for balanced would get the PHA-3 over the Centrance mini-m8.

Sure, if it suits your preferences. Technically, Sony is not better than M8
Have you compared them side by side?

I don't know anyone who own these devices.....

I have Shure SRH1840, HD800, and will get a HD700. I don't use IEMs at the moment.

Well everything internally is known abut the PHA-3, while Centrance doesn't provide any info on the specs or components, not even mentioning which dac is used. While Sony PHA-3 we can already see it is built to perfection: ES9018, XMOS, LME49860, OPA2604, TPA6120, Sanyo OS-CON, Dual Crystal Clock 44.1/48, ThinFilm audio capacitors, TI LDO Array.
