well maybe it's a glitch or lil bug on apple music, doesn't bother me at all. for me is a reminder to take a break for a moment.
thanks for your reply.
Unbiased opinion anyone - is it worth upgrading to 320 X with posdibly Amp 14 from Dx300 amp11 mk.1? 
Or would it be smarter to get something like Amp12 /13?
Bit worried about much lower battery runtime and well, the diminishing returns.
Another option would be Max, which is tad too big for my use case..

If you are concerned about battery life, then either Amp13 or Amp14 would not be as good as Amp11.1S or Amp12. Sound is a different discussion. If you are used to the DX300, you are already losing about 8 hours play time with the Amp11.1 by going to the DX320 with Amp11.1S, and if you are running any of the "Nutube" amp cards (Amp13 or Amp14), those numbers might be diminished even more. Though maybe not as much as it is on the DX300.Unbiased opinion anyone - is it worth upgrading to 320 X with posdibly Amp 14 from Dx300 amp11 mk.1?

So DX320 even with amp11 will have 8h less than DX300 with marginally / subjectivity better sonic perfomance, am I getting it right?
Uhm.. not sure the upgrade is worth the hassle..
I am speaking in rough estimates here, but yes. The DX300 can last for about 13-16 hours playtime, where the Dx320 can last about 7-8 hours. The Rohm DAC chips inside aren't nearly as efficient as the chips in the DX300.
On the DX320, it's the digital side that goes down and die the fastest.
Either AMP will neither improve or decrease the digital battery - and once you plug it to charge, the analog goes up simultaneously
I don't have DX300, but in order to consider the change you need to know what your taste are.
On a french forum there is someone who made the jump recently, he found at his ears that it was an improvement for SQ (and he tested all the amp)
Did you know that iBasso is about to release its DX 260 ?
It has the same DAC Cirus as DX 300, and this time not 4 but 8 !
Of course the form factor is different, but maybe it's the closest thing from being close to DX300 sound and be an improvement in sound quality
If I were about to buy something, I would wait some review and infos before choose anything

My repaired DX320 is on its way back from the States having been all the way back to China.
Unashamedly excited to get it back and listen to it again.

What enjoy about DX300 signature with amp11 mk.1 is the slightly analog character of the sound, its cozy but still reasonably detailed. Coming from holo may with bliss desktop setup I felt right at home, the hope for Dx320 with either stock or 12/14 amps is to achieve something similar with more detail, depth and width of the stage. Not sure if I am on the right track..

Just bought a dx320 but I have a problem: all the red color on screen are turned into yellow. Anyone had this problem? I turned off night light

I notticed an issue with IBasso dx320 and with latest firmware and with stock AMP card. When listening to IEM's on low volume (below 11 on low gain on 4.4mm) left channel swiches off. I noticed this with U12t and Dunu SA6 on 4.4 and 3.5 mm port and it is similar in both. I notice this fenomenon in Neutron, Mango player and Poweramp in Android. However if I swich to Mango OS I did not observe this behaviour. Did someone else notice this? Should I try to downgrade firmware? Or is there some setting that could be changed?
I haven't encountered this issue on firmware 2.07 android, as I typically use 4.4mm low gain as well.
Thieaudio V16 Divinity volume 1-2; Multiverse Mentor volume 3-5; Indigo volume 8-12; Unity 10-14.
I use 3.5mm for FiiO EM5 and also haven't run into this issue yet.
It's strange that your issue is OS dependent, otherwise I would've guessed loose connectors.
For the firmware update, I followed the old instructions: 1x android factory reset -> 1x boot menu factory reset -> update to 2.07 firmware -> 1x android factory reset -> 1x boot menu factory reset -> 4+ restarts.

Thanks a lot. I managed to resolve issue with factory reset. Now it works fine in both OS's and on all players I use.

Update. Just got mine back (from iBasso via UrbanHifi) with the screen replacement and they have added a new screen protector onto it too. Just letting the device acclimatize to the house from being in the cold with DHL but on the face of it, it looks ok so far.
