[warrior1975]

very sexy looking, wonder how is sounds...

 

[Prophet293]

I can't wait for this to come out!!!!

 

[shiorisekine]

I wonder if the USB input A will only work for ipod and not android, might be a bit of a draw back for me. But good luck denon cant wait to hear one.

 

[Prophet293]

I hope some day Denon releases an all-in-one HD portable music player too.

 

[shiorisekine]

I know they have the music software app but I have never used it but I have seen the UI and I like it so as long as they utilized that in the DAP I would more than likely buy it.

I would like a Denon portable high res player that plays every format under the sun + this portable DAC/amp built-in as an all-in-one solution. They can make it big and bulky, wouldn't mind one bit, oh and it also needs a massive storage like 128GB or something.

 

[Prophet293]

It's almost October and there's no news of this coming out?

 

[Necrophantasia]

Well the planned release date according to Amazon Japan is October 11th. So soon!
