Does this come with a remote as indicated in the picture? From what I've read, D7Xs does not have a remote?

d3rrlckHoly crap you're right. They do not include a remote with the 7s. I find it just bizarre. I have a DX7 (legacy) and I can't imagine not having a remote with this thing. It's just soo handy and I've come to love it. I do wish they would've launched this product out of the gate with the new chip and remote. Anyways that being said.. I run an HD800S balanced off mine and it's simply incredible. I've listened to a few setups (Schiit Magni 2U, DarkVoice 336SE, Little Dot MK3, Project Ember amp) and the DX7 is honestly my favorite (also the only one that's balanced). I can only imagine the DX7s will sound even better due to the DAC upgrade.

EstasenkoYeah folks are saying the same thing about the remote, it's just really a handy switch when you need to change some settings. By the way, would you say the DX7 sounded like a typical ESS chip which many describes as detailed and clinical? I was only able to listen to ESS chip on LG mobile phone for a short period of time, and I can understand why they're describing it in such way. I was on the verge of purchasing the Matrix i-Mini Pro2 DAC/AMP until I saw this drop which hopefully includes the remote. I don't care much about the amp since I have a Matrix HPA-3B fully-balanced and Ember II tube amp, and I'm also using Chord Mojo DAC which gets really tiring to charge the battery from time to time so I decided to get a fully balanced desktop DAC that fits the bill.

d3rrlckIt has incredible amounts of detail and transparency but I'm not sure if I'd describe it as "clinical". It's not completely cold/analytical - there's a little bit of warmth to it. Just enough in my opinion and I would argue that this DAC/AMP combo is very neutral in just about every aspect. When I describe my DX7, I tend to use words like - transparent, neutral, reference, balanced sound, professional presentation, outstanding sound stage. I also own an OPPO HA-2 dac/amp which features a ESS 9018 chip but I find the DX7 to be better in terms of presentation (not quite as cold sounding). Hope that helps.

EstasenkoI agree with your findings, this is also how I describe my DX7.

d3rrlckI’m 99% sure it does not. The contents dont List one and the website lists that a remote no longer comes with the DX7s. They just got lazy and reused the old picture from the DX7.. I wouldn’t expect it.
