Fiio is now stepping their game from what I see on the pricing of the Fiio X7. How would it fare against the current flagship DAPs?
Many people are looking forward to this because this is their first touch screen hi-res DAP. Build quality is excellent so far, but I do wish there is better buttons placement. I do find myself sometimes getting tracks skip and paused when I put it in my bag. I did highlight the issue and I hear that a fix might come soon on Fiio's software side. This will likely allow us to lock and disable buttons when screen is off. I am pretty sure as well that the amp module for hot swapping would come pretty soon in the next few months, hopefully before the lunar new year.

Sound quality is musical but it's pretty neutral too, I would say that the energy and sound staging is top notch. Excellent dynamic range but it does lose out a little on the noise control, but this is what made the Fiio X7 give out the vinyl sound signature--something clearly lacking in most hi-res DAPs nowadays. Personally, I love the raw vinyl sound signature but it would be nice to see the low-mids being more refined. I can't wait to see what sort of amp modules they will be coming out with in the future!
As of now, the firmware have been updated again and its good to know that they are working on what is wrong with their current version of the firmware. I do hope to see that they fix the Android/Music only mode soon as it is not working for me.
