Seeing some sources would be nice. I haven't heard a peep about this on Anandtech or Tom's Hardware, two large tech websites.

Here's a good source: Sandisk official press release

I hope the X1 will come out very soon. I'll even go for the pre order. I need to replace my Cowon J3. It nearly died on me completely the other day. :/

You'll have to wait till the third quadrimester of 2014 so September ou October to hope see the X1 in your hands.

I think you're looking for "quarter"

It'll look much better without the 4 buttons and if the wheels are recessed/flush..

The wheel's outer rim might collects the dust easily?

Nice prototype, really like it! Add some wood to the back panel and pseudo-gold/copper color to have a steampunk-like dap

Maybe It is just me but I would prefer something simple xD this DAP gonna sit in my pocket or other's pocket anyway so look doesn't quite matters after all xD

yes, I agree with you, now it is a little complex.

The X5 is gunning for the "turntable look", the X1 looks like a speaker IMO.

This is a pure heavy steampunk... don't go this way
Nowadays is a touchscreen plus basic control buttons

Wow! This looks very nice. I wonder how the SQ compares to the X5? Does it possess at least 70% of the X5's SQ? If it does, take my money.

Same response here, but drop it to 50%. It's only $100 for eff's sake.
Love the prototype, James! Crank them out as fast as possible.

It should be 75% of the SQ  cause it is already a nice drop in the power output which limits what it can drive. It drops so many other features and options. So, give it only 50% of the SQ as well? Then even at $100 it wouldn't be that good of a deal. If that was the case I would start think about keeping my $100 or using it elsewhere. Us consumers are supposed to fight for the most for our $$$. Hey, just keep giving more away, lol!
