I think they’ve been working on it for at least a year if not longer. Even if they do upsample, they‘ve shifted the market in a major way. Amazon doesn’t charge extra for HD music. Others will follow or consolidation will occur in the industry.

Could have asked the store rep for assistance.

Might as well call it Small 4Tune because that's what it'll cost.

Don’t forget the five disc CD carousel! Had the Sony MiniDisc in the days of Kazaa and Morpheus. Loved it. Bought a mini microphone for mine and used it to record lectures in college. After a number of years, left it behind for the Apple iPod mini.

It’s funny how we did what we had to do get things to “work”. Having younger sibling stand and hold TV antenna for better reception, adding a bit of aluminum foil to the end of radio antenna, setting tv dial in between to channels, recording off the radio at just the right moment. Yeah, I’d...

Sometimes the fight comes to you! Those 80's Boom Boxes...heavy has heck when you consider some took about a dozen D-sized batteries. You were king if you had double auto-reverse (LaSonic or Panasonc), forget about if you spectrum analyzer built into the face

Wonder what they'll say about this generation of electronics 25-40 years from now.

As some have said here, the sound really gets optimal at about 100 hours. Spent the first twenty hours listening to it..left it alone and came back. They were 100% right. You don't want to stop listening...it'll be a a long while before AMPMK2 goes back on...maybe when it goes up for sale and...

Whatever happened to that guy rutter (sic?). Board took on an entirely different personality when he complained about everything under the sun and plus some. Smart guy but had a lot of issues. Btw, Neutron updated their android app to support DX220: “Filter and gain support”

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Looks like a winner.

Was using A1MK2 until yesterday when i received A9. Running a little less warm than A1MK2. Battery life is definitely better. Cable is ALO Superlitz 2.5mm balanced to PW 3.5mm adapter in case anyone wants to try to recreate.

Just received it yesterday...so probably about five hours total. Was totally expecting the hiss and was willing to live with it...seemed like a foregone conclusion after reading so much about it here. But nothing.

I have the same setup but on high gain - no hiss. Have Solaris 2.5mm balanced going to 3.5mm adapter (PW Audio) into DX229. No hiss.

Any recommendations on a bluetooth remote I can use with the DX 220?

Try this...I've used it on DX220 without any issues https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Memory-MB-MC512GAEU-Micro-Adapter/dp/B07H1231S8/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3S3UCGQF05O5G&keywords=samsung+micro+sd+card&qid=1559762953&s=gateway&sprefix=samsung+mic%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-4

@rutter , go get a WM1Z, and return the Dx220. You are in the 15 days satisfactions period....no question asked. More like 15 days dissatisfaction period.

Or you can purchase from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/iBasso-DX220-Resolution-ES9028PRO-Bluetooth/dp/B07RJNZDD2/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_4?keywords=Ibasso+dx220&qid=1557436021&s=gateway&sr=8-4-fkmrnull

B & H Photo is still thriving in Manhattan https://www.bhphotovideo.com/

Yes. Works seamlessly on iPhone X to H2. Need good core processing power to upsample DSD 256/512

Which replacement battery are you using?

  Excellent cable, by the way!

@Whitigir is a magician with these cables 

Yes. From 200-500 hrs, sound is still changing, though not as perceptibly as 0-200 hrs. It becomes more refined.
