Hey Guys,   I have couple of questions   1. Has anybody tried Sony XBA-Z5 with DX200, are the connectors compatible with each other (I believe Z5 comes with balanced cable). 2. Do you think they have good synergy?   Thanks & Regards.

Really nice review, concise is the word that comes to my mind, very useful.   Thanks.

  Nice collection.   With reference to IEMs   1. How does Tera compare to others? 2. Which is your favorite?   Just curious.   Thanks.

I really want to hear iBasso DAP, don't know if we have any dealers in Minnesota where I can try it out.

  Yeah, the wait can be frustrating at times, it kind of cools that itch.

  Not sure it is entirely cards related, some have reported songs disappearing from the list, unusual battery drain, reboots, 1.4.2 being not reliable for scanning etc. It really boggles my mind how can there be different issues that are FW related only, don't know if HW to be blames and I know...

Hope for the best, if you look at DX80 thread, you would be dreaded by how unreliable it is for some people. It's quite surprising, although it can be fun for someone who likes to fiddle with things. Sounds awesome though when it works.

Nice review, thanks.

Andy, Thanks for answering all my questions. Really impressed by the flexibility this device offers. I think going forward, type-C => Micro cable will be easily available.   Regards.

  It is possible that not all the apps/ streaming possibilities are available on i5 as they are/ would be on smart phone, that's why the question. Also I believe there would not be browser support on i5? Correct me if I am wrong. Here is a use case, you may play a song on youtube thru smart...

Can i5 work as DAC/AMP for Android phone thru OTG or std. USB cable?   Thanks.

  And what is that announcement?

I hope Paul can attach latest pics/video on working prototype of DX200 very soon. 

The more I look at these the more I like #2. It's kind of grows on you, sharp design though the #2 is. I hope DX200 will be metal body.

  Would it not be a simple check with Paul @ iBasso to see if you have the latest FW on your DX100? That way both of you get to prove your point. I really like the fact that they are willing to listen and work with you. Good luck.

I think it doesn't hurt from marketing standpoint, that something is in store, it can go either way, some will wait and some can't, some will buy it anyway when it's available. I hope DX200 will have all the features of DX80 + Bluetooth + ability to play Pandora, Spotify like internet stations +...

Thanks for your valuable input.

If the DX100 experience was robust (may be little laggy but solid), it's fair to expect DX200 also will follow suit. What says? Although I feel I missed the boat on DX80, now it's fairly stable, it's not that much fun anymore, if you know what I am saying.

Can some compare Pleneu D with D2+ and post the results? I am interested only in the sound quality aspect of it. Not much interested in touch screen, UI etc.   Thanks.

  Thanks so much for the pics.   Regards.

  Is the picture of your EQ setting possible?   Thanks.

  Very true, I am managing my listening pleasure with Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and I love the Tube effect, it takes off the edge a little bit, sounds creamy, and far far away from what the original intent was, but I can give my own twist to it, and make it mine I guess, that's exactly what you...

  Very informative, also I am seeing synergy is the key in getting the right (as you perceive thru your ears) sound. I had a similar experience when I had D2, with flat eq it sounded very dry, but with all the tweaks, it brought life to the music. Have no experience with the iBasso.   Thanks...
