Onkyo launches All-In-One headphone DAC/Amp/Player for iOS and Android - news discussion

You had me hooked until the £499 part.. Still, these things often drop in price quite quickly. Looks good otherwise!
 
But its a portable device which equals listening environments far from ideal, are not into (very expensive) blue highlighter pen and CD freezing territory here? I confess I listened to Tidals test tracks and only got 4 out of 5 selections correct - as to which were the HD ones - have to confess I didn't find the difference night and day in any case (Macbook pro with Sennheiser Momentum headphones). I enjoyed listening to the HD Blu Ray Pink Floyd Endless River but that was via home cinema amp and speakers not a portable device on the bus??
 
£499 for that - madness - I do sometimes wonder who buys these things
 
You're comment that DSD5.6 is a first for portable audio is wrong (I believe). iFi iDSD Micro has been available offering DSD256 (DSD11.2) and DSD512 (DSD22.4). The cheaper iDSD Nano supports DSD256 as well.

Ironically though these rates are supported with iPhone using the Onkyo player.
