So I'm starting to find the iBasso MAX series to be on the heavy side now that I've started biking in earnest. Do you guys have a recommendation for a more portable DAP with the same level of technicality and separation as the MAX series but with less power for cIEMs? Looking to pair it with an Odin or SE6E but for now I have a Plunge audio unity stage (my cIEMs are the one's on the official product page! so proud ). Must have microSD card slot.

Edit: I also wouldn't mind a usb-c dongle if they are THAT good.

Max are not that heavy, those SP2K stuff are also heavy as they are all made from SS, or copper. Except that Max is easier to hold in the palm and or pocket, where as the AK stuff has edges here and there that actually can give a nasty cut if put at the correct scenarios

With all that is said. If you want something lighter ? Go for a DX160, or Dongle ? There are many dongle, but still, you will need to carry your phone with you.

In fact, the way I see it s that, many modern stuff are bulky and chunky, the compromises from form factor to audio performances ratio is not worth it to trade off the MAX for anything else. I also go on bike trips, and I do that with a Max + HD800s. That is why Titanium is such an amazing player

Thank you for the input. I'll try the DX160.

When using MAX as DAC connected to PC via USB it looks like the android battery is not charging. Or USB port of PC current is simply not enough?

Anyone interested in trading their Stock 200Max for a 2MaxW modified ? In the Us ?

Yes sir, it was

What's the scope of the 2MaxW (e.g., changes, sound differences)? I love my DX220 Max (BTW I assume that was a typo or short hand '200Max').

Mainly improve micro dynamics and smooth out some grainy treble

Good day to all, I need some advice. My dx220 max analogue battery icon is missing and I am unable to hear audio from all the output. The android part is working well though. May I know if there is any settings I can do? I just received this used set. Thanks.

Charge it up, or replacing the batteries ? Ask the seller about this ?
