No it's a very basic amp.

Really liked the xp-2 pro, not sure what a display would really add.

So could I use this with my B&W PX8 and my iPhone, iPad, Apple M1 Mini to get AptX to my headphones?

Unfortunately apple products will not give you aptx, only AAC. But connecting it directly through lightning to usb-c should give you some great full high res audio.

Not sure how to feel about the current industry trend of moving away from pure amp functionality; on one hand anyone who wants it probably wouldn't wouldn't want it from a cheap device, but at the same time it takes away that "swiss army knife" appeal of larger portable DACs.

The knob is a pot/absolute encoder; its position represents the volume.

Tnx... but you can't pre set the volume to, say, 42 as there's not even markings on the chassis. That would be completely solved with a tiny display so I'll move on to a DAP instead.
