Ah great thanks for the note! I may still try them anyway given what I’m hearing about the sound signature and experiences with the onp. :). Using an it04 which is great but starting to get a bit too bright for me and the fit isn’t the best

For those who have used the OH500 and the new primacys, how is the fit difference on the OH500? The New primacy was one of the most comfortable iems I ever wore and loved how they sat flush in the ear (i.e. - could sleep with them on). Looking at the OH500 and wondering if despite the larger...

Ah those are great tips, thanks! At minimum will try the Final Es and #1 and 2 I've tried already (unfortunately using DX200/4S so no SE output). For #4, is there a US based distributor of the PW #5?

Hi everyone, hugely jealous of all the LX discussions going on here. :) That said, was hoping folks could help me with some UIEM Non-Adel Spartans I just picked up from a fellow head-fier. Using a DX200 > AMP4s > Triton Audio 4-wire copper 2.5 balanced > Spartans > Spiral Dots. Overall...

I tried to do this by swapping out amps within 1-2m of listening to each to compare but agree it's not ideal. I noted some thoughts earlier in the thread, but overall, the DX200 sounded noticeably better than the DX150 across all the amps (Amp1, Amp6, Amp4s). However, agree with many folks on...

BTW, in case anyone is interested, I'm planning to either return the DX150 back to iBasso (keeping the DX200) or if someone on this thread wants to buy a slightly used DX150 w/ about 150-200hrs burn in, please PM me. I'm based in the US (CA) and would take $515 shipped for it ($499 original...

I actually was using an N5ii for a few weeks before I took a plunge and ordered a DX200 for kicks. DX200+AMP1 sounded significantly better to me than the N5ii - same precision in the treble as the N5ii but a larger soundstage, more polished sound that lingered a bit more than the N5ii. Whereas...

Oh interesting. Is the CB12s only different vs. the CB12 in the straight line connector? I must have an older version as mine is terminated right angle in a black metal plug and my Y adjustor's a black thin metal strip. I like yours a lot better. :)

TOTALLY agree with everything here. :thumbsup:DX150 vocals sounded clean and faithful, but a bit dry to me vs. the DX200 which sounded richer and more live.

Haha, I had a very similar experience. Waiting for the DX150, then said screw it, will order and try a DX200 in the meantime. Loved the sound so returned my N5ii (though that was an awesome player soundwise bugs aside). Then ordered a DX150 out of curiosity and later a Amp4s and have been...

I'm using the iBasso CB12 balanced cable with the IT01s and like them a lot so far. They're $89 so technically less (by $10). =) Also tried a cheaper cable that actually sounded fine to me from Amazon US. I liked the sound quite a bit compared to the SE standard IT01 cable on an N5ii and DX200.

Oh sorry, I specified before I was using a CB12 balanced cable to some IT01s. With the balanced I was hearing the separation to the slides with a slight positioning behind me. For some reason vertically though it seemed more compressed vs. the DX200. I haven't actually tried the SE HO out on...

Wow, that's really interesting. =) You're referring to the Normal vs. Full toggle when you're talking about the spread/layering? Or generally when you compare the DX150 with DX200? I'll have to play around with the setting a bit more then. Definitely agree that both DAPs are really great...

I found it a bit more subtle than @jamato8, but switching to Full felt like the soundstage got a little bit taller than before, making it overall feel more balanced. Also had a chance to listen to the DX150 (~75hrs burned in) vs. DX200 (~150hrs) and I think what I'm hearing is a difference in...

Hi guys, to your question @Layman1, yup, I did my best to compare the DAPs with the same AMP, but since I only had one of each, it's an imperfect comparison since swapping the AMPs takes a few mins so it's hard to directly A/B test. To your previous question about AMP6 My ears aren't the...

Hi all, long time lurker (since 2001) and first time poster. Been following this thread (and other DAP threads) for a long time and wanted to share some (subjective) thoughts on DX150/DX200 and AMP1/AMP6 combinations. I haven't tried any of the other AMPs but did order the AMP4s based on the...
