    Introducing Shanling M30 - Modular Desktop Hi-Fi Streaming Player

    Hah. I have an Argos on order too - secondary machine for a second location. I wouldn’t expect it before march, but I’d guess there’s no Z1 or MC5 before then either.

    No LDAC either right?

    Anyone tried this with a Focal Bathys? Comments? Does the DX300 have APTx Lossless?

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    Very interested in how the N8ii drives the Utopia directly (and if you put a C9 in the chain, and compare with a C9 that would also be awesome - if only to see if the N8ii might negate the requirement for a C9).

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    FYI all on high gain line out voltage from DX300 AMP 12.

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    Well, 8.3 VRMS for the PO is also maximum, no?

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    You should use High gain with a DX312. The AMP 12 LO specification is a max 4.1v: via: https://ibasso.com/product/amp12/

    Any thoughts on Apple Music vs. Tidal (on a DX300)? As far as I can tell they both work (native app)...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    You have a DX3 MAX and this is based on output from that? What headphones?

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM NEW Firmware: 2.02Available.

    I used to think this. No EQ can still be great in a headphone setup, but it's going to be worse for most people without dedicated speaker rooms in a speaker setup, and you definitely need EQ in a car.

    iBasso DX300 Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Octa-core 6GB RAM ******NEW Firmware 2.00 Android 11******

    FYI, the KEF LSX not only has an amplifier (i.e. are active speakers), but also forces all analog input through a ADC, then back through it's own DAC. Any analog audio input will be converted to digital then back again. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1571428/Kef-Lsx.html?page=33#manual

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    I think the source obviously needs to be a DX300 Max Titanium.

    I had already logged off, planning to be back in 5 years, the ibasso pulls this and my "friend" (grrrr) tells me about it.

    You should try the Rossini. I'd wait a little if you have your heart set on the vivaldi though.

    iBasso DX300 Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Octa-core 6GB RAM ******NEW Firmware 2.00 Android 11******

    Assuming amp12 has a connection to ground, it's possible to construct a proper 4.4mm to RCA cable. I'm not sure who a reliable vendor is though.

    Cayin C9: Dual Nutube, Fully Balanced Class A/AB Portable HeadAmp

    I prefer solid state for DX300 AMP12 into Utopia, but tube is still better for EE Zeus. I preferred tube/A for DX300 AMP11mk1 (both outputs). No big difference between A/AB for AMP12. I wonder why the difference...

    You mean the case which ships with the dx300, or the case which ships with amp12, or both? I should say I have no issue with the case - but I think they're both made of bonded leather which has been stamped for texture. This is consistent with what I would have expected given the price...

    Soooo. My dealer took my amp module in for repair, and offered me a loaner amp module... But they also had fresh AMP12 stock in! Sooooooooo. I bought an AMP12. LOL. Demo at the dealer (apparently one night of burn in) suggested that there was more detail. I'm listening back at home now (new...

    Hmm, I'm having an issue with my Amp11mk1 (shipped with my DX300). It seems fine when listening to PO, but if I switch to LO there's crackling. Has anyone else experienced this? Anything I can do to try to fix it apart from restarting (doesn't work)? This persists over different cables, and...
