I have a DX170 and it has plenty of power even on low gain to drive the IEM's i usually use. I purchased a pair of Rode NTH100's to use at home with the DX170 but it doesn't really have sufficient power to get the 100's loud enough. I am thinking of buying a Fiio's K3 as have found one at a bargain price of £70, will the K3 give me that extra power. Thanks

I would pick a used Chord Mojo OG for about 150 and never have to worry about source.

find a used Ifi silver or black label idsd nano (the smaller dac-amps, not the footlong brick)...these can be had used for close to $100

The mini tube amp from Woo Audio will be a good companion for the DX170

Hi
I bought an IfI idsd nano off ebay which came today but I am having issues playing music from the DX170. When I can get it to work the music sounds speeded up and sort of clipped. The unit works fine if I plug it straight in to my laptop and I listen to anything off a radio program/you tube . I am just having the issue with the DX170, not sure what I am doing wrong. The file I am trying to play is an MP3. I don't have any instructions in the box with the nano and have been trying to find you tube video tutorials but I cant find anything. I am assuming I have the drivers to use it on my laptop as it worked fine when plugged in to my laptop and I had a notification window to say that it was set up to use .

How are you connecting the DX170 to the nano?

How are you connecting the DX170 to the nano?

There is a cable supplied to fit the digital input and there is a male USB on the other end, I have bought a OTG lead, female USB to male USB C which I plugged in to my DX170.

Hi I have an Ibasso DX170 which I love and the sound is fantastic using I.E.M's the output is sufficient to drive them even on the low setting. I bought a "proper" set of over ear headphones , a pair of RODE NTH 100 but the DX170 doesn't really have the power to drive them so I am lookng for a desktop amp. I was advised that an IFI nano idsd would do the job so I bought a SH one off ebay but it doesn't work, it is like the music is speeded up and clipped so I will be sending it back. Can anyone advice a desktop/portable amp which is not overly expensive that will work with the DX170 . Thanks
