Guess it is SD. My bad guys!
 
The unit looks really nice! Not sure about the leathery back though. Judging from the 2 SD slots' size and the average size of an SD slot, I think the unit looks like its a bit less than 4 slots tall. I'd say it's about the size of the X1 and as flat as an iPhone 5s. Would fit nicely with the Mojo if I'm correct in this guessing.

Looks great. Now waiting for price point.

Given that this has already been debated to death and the decision made - can we please just let it go?

From previous experience with most of the FiiO line-up, it would be very good indeed.  I've found virtually no difference between the line-out and headphone out on most of their devices (the measurements also back this up).  It often amazes me that so many people find this a big issue.  Both are extremely low noise on previous devices.

This device could be perfect but there will always be those that are unhappy with something. I don't envy fiio, especially James. Rough crowd.

It is not the noises that I would worry about, but the quality of dynamic and finesse of the soundstage that could come from such "transport" which was meant to be a quality digital transport ? . We all know to get that quality analog LO = very complicated

But hey ! Whatever floats your boat. The more options, the better , and just as long as you know the pure purpose of this device then I guess you won't be complaining about it

Loving everything in that image James, including the dual USB and separate digital ports. The only thing is.. Please don't wrap it in animal skin on the back.

 
 

  I'm not a big fan of leather-like texture, it's a dust trap, please make it smooth, the rest is nice and classy.

I'd throw my vote against leather backing - synthetic, or real. I'd much rather see a nice bead blasted metal surface.

Some sort of soft material is actually good when being meant to stack. For most uses I imagine the back will be covered - Transport, remember....

Good point! I'm thinking about this with the MoJo, should be a great match.

 

[kiler]

This player looks so good, can't wait for the price :b

I can't wait to insert two 256GB SDXC cards into it!
 
Fiio will there be a beta testing programme?

I thought of that after I made my post. I remember now James saying something about trying to figure out a more elegant solution to stacking than the existing kits. Could be part of the reason, like you mentioned.

Just add an optional rubber sticker.

Yes, I was thinking exactly the same thing - a self-adhesive material (rubber, leather, suede, or similar), so that the user can choose whether or not to apply it, and can also replace it at a later date, if it gets damaged or worn.
 
It would be very unwise to manufacture the T3 with a permanently-attached soft material that can't be easily replaced. The device would just end up looking tatty.
