Anyone have/use a Fiio X7 II?
Rob D.:
Thinking about getting this or the Astell&Kern SR15 for the same money. If anyone out there has any personal experience with these or any of the Onkyo DAPs, I'd love to hear it.

The Pioneer XDP-30R. (Onkyo cousin) has dropped in price significantly. ($160 on Amazon)
Dual-DACs. (Sabre)
Upsampling
Balanced output line-out / standard headphone out (not both at once)
Space for very large capacity SD cards
32/192
DSD256
WAV, FLAC, MP3,...
Tidal
BT /Wi-Fi (no apt-x on BT)
Not too shabby driving a pair of Senn HD-580s kicked back in my chair at the office today
My jogging Fiio is the tiny M3 and it drives a set of earbuds well, but I haven't played with an X7 II.
I've heard that it is stellar.

Good grief the learning curve going from iTunes to a Hi-Res DAP is huge! The manual for this device is helpful but at the same time, still lacking a lot. I think the biggest difference I've noticed (unless I'm wrong?) is that most of the control is on the device itself, rather than the PC/MAC sync'ing the device (Fiio X7 doesn't even do that).

Just picked up a $179 30r from B&H, checks all the boxes, has really nice specs. We’ll see how she sounds. Medium hopes. The storage is nuts. Two 256 slots plus the 16 onboard.
If this isn’t a leap from my ct10 the SR15 is next, couldn’t resist a try of the Pioneer for that price.
I really do like the ct10 good not great and a good price.
