I have enjoyed using my iBasso DX200 with amp 2. Since I moved out of my apartment and into a home where I could actually use a high end audio system I find myself using headphones very little. I am thinking of switching my headphones from the Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd gen to the Beyerdynamic Lagoon...

Again thanks! That is how I thought it all worked. I normally buy the music I like and then load it into DX200, but using as DAC adds another dimension as I can stream and download rented music files on my laptop and now used my headphones with the balanced cables (I have amp3).

Just to be clear, I connect my headphone to the headphone out connection of the DX200, not the computer. In other words when used as a DAC the music on the computer is being played and the signal is going through the DX200 in order to use the higher quality chips and my headphone with balanced...

I hate to go off topic but I hope someone does not mind answering what I hope is a simple question. If I use my DX200 as a DAC in order to listen to music on my computer, and I am using amp3, how do I connect the DX200 to the computer? I have not downloaded the DAC program so I need to do that...

I just want to share my experience with DX200. I had been using DX80 with Beyerdynamic T5P 2. I thought this sounded great but decided to upgrade to DX200 and at the same time I purchased Sennheiser HD800 S. I bought the HD800 S because as good as the soundstage was with the T5P I thought the...

Mine sounds good but not any better than T5P. I think I may have discovered the weak link. I am using a $50 XLR to 2.5mm connector to connect included HD800 S balanced cable to iBasso DX200. I can bet a dedicated high quality cable will make a difference.

My understanding from description is amp3 more musical which I interpret to be warmer, could be wrong. I also have HD800 S and was very curious to know your experience with DX200. The DX200 can drive the Sennheisers but I have not listened to enough high end stuff to know if I can expect more...

Oops, I now remember download needed for windows.

I also have the t5p 2nd generation and hd800s I have not had any similar problems I think you have to download the driver

I am finding some interesting comments as I am considering returning my HD800 S because as of now T5P 2nd gen sound as good if not better. But I would not have said that until I upgraded my DAP from iBasso DX80, which only has SE headphone output to iBasso DX200 which has balanced headphone...

As I mentioned in my original post I use HD800 S on 112 volume setting out of 150 so I know they can be driven with DX200. That is about where I had the volume for T5P using SE output. When I purchased a balanced cable and used the balanced output for T5P I was able to use volume 92 but it was...

Just received amp3 and I am surprised how good it sounds right out of the box. Compared to amp1 (comparing balanced headphone out) bass to me definitely sounds a little deeper. I am probably not using correct term but amp3 just seems like more fun listening to same music (more musical?). Not...

I am a new owner of the Sennheiser HD800 S. I recently purchased the iBasso DX200 and I use the Beyerdynamic T5P 2nd gen for traveling. I am discovering there is so much to learn with high end audio and I am also discovering there always seems to be a way to make what we have even better, and...

Yeah, it should have clicked that it did not make any difference which headphone output I used as I did use that cable for much of my burn in. And I was comparing the stock SE 3.5 T5P cable with the LQi VODA/CQ7 balanced cable which I am still burning in. I know nothing about cables so hope LQi...

I am curious if each line out needs to be broken in separately. I would not think so but listening to Beyerdynamic T5P 2g is markedly better with balanced cables compared to using SE connection with amp1. Of course the more obvious difference maker is probably the cables (LQi VODA/CQ7) with the...
