But will a volume limiter be present?

I believe that has been solved with a firmware 'fix', putting it on 'variable output' or so bypasses the limit that is on the normal headphone output for the European models.

Phil Wannell from Audiosanctuary responsed to my inquiry about the volume limiter:
 
"You have to enable Variable Line Output in the settings. This is not to be used with headphones, normally to be used when connecting to a pair of speakers or an amplifier."
 
The section that I highlighted in red concerns me a little. What about the balanced out jack? Is that not effected by the limiter?

For an amplifier or powered speakers you would use fixed (full) output instead of variable AFAIK.
I belive there are some European owners using the variable output to drive their headphones, I don't own a XDP-100R so you might better ask this in the XDP-100R thread, 
 
Don't know how this affects balanced out either, the XDP-100R doesn't have balanced out, but maybe the owners of the Onkyo DP-X1 know?

OK, I posted that question in the DP-X1 thread.

Guys, I'm in Canada.
 
Where can I buy 300R for $600 USD?

You can't, but you can get it for $650 USD with tracked shipping included at Audiosanctuary. I was going to get one, but decided to wait for non EU units to hit the shores.

The XDP-300R still isn't up on Pioneer's US website yet. I contacted them, asking for an expected US release date. I'll follow up when they reply.

Hi all,
 
Does anybody know when this player will be available in the UK? I know the previous Pioneer DAP and the Onkyo DP-X1 are on Amazon but nothing on the XDP-300R yet...

It's listed on Audiosanctuary uk's site.  Not sure if that means it's in stock or not though?

They do have a demo unit in store, and should have units in stock by now. The owner of the store @PhilW is on Head-Fi as well, maybe he can tell us?

I contacted Pioneer on Monday regarding an anticipated release date for the 300R in the USA. They never got back to me. It's possible that they have no plans to release it to the US.

Yup Pioneer XDP-300R stock is now coming through but it's turned out to be an exceptionally hot product. I think many want it for Christmas

Still no word on this?
 
I am thinking about getting me a portable setup and eyeing this XDP-300R and the new Campfire Vega. Should be a pretty good beginner setup, no?

hmm....XDP-300R or DP-X1A? What are the main differences?
 
What android version and SoC is being used?
