So much this. I don't have any experience myself, but I have lurked here long enough to see a lot of frustrated and confused posts on the subject of DX220 devices that look bricked, even when they aren't. LOL

I just wanted to shoot a real quick thanks for the detailed info and review. I have been real curious about this mod but not quite ready to pull the trigger. Your words may get me off the fence!

Happened to me just a couple of days ago. I restarted and everything was fine. Honestly, I see the whole platform as a giant work in progress. And I mean all modern devices are, but I encounter minor and somewhat major issues with the dx220 pretty regularly. I like the team, and I especially...

Wow, that is a screaming and generous deal. Can’t imagine you will have a hard time finding takers! I am just jumping in here to say I also love my IT04s! I suspect they are a somewhat underrated champ against some of the other well-known beloved IEMs in the space. I’m particularly interested...

Thanks, all! A combination of the advice above worked. Undocking procedure was successful, as was correct R/L pairing. No longer must I self-soothe by imagining every drummer in the world has a left-handed kit setup.

Just got a pair of these and I am really enjoying them, particularly paired with the DX220 and modded amp8. Happy ears. In my genius move for the week, I accidentally mixed up my L/R when I plugged in the cable. Anyone have any tips for safely disconnecting? They are really in there good, and I...

Excellent music taste there! Big thumbs and horns up from your Seattle brethren in music.

After a ton of reading, research, more reading, additional reading, all the reading, and a tiny bit of soul-searching, my next-tier (for me) IEMs arrive this weekend! In the end I opted to go with iBasso's own IT04 for the following reasons: Paul and team won me some significant brand loyalty...

You can indeed, particularly as the T800 are a fraction of the cost of others mentioned. :) They weren’t on my radar. Will definitely give them a look!

I am in the market for some IEMs to pair with my fancy AMP8EX-FE, which I bought minus headphones because I can’t stand to miss out on a cool exclusive deal. I have my eye on the Solaris SE, but not sure if I want to justify the price tag. I listen to all the music stylistically, but spend the...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but yes. Like I said, this is confirmed elsewhere in the thread here by iBasso. SBC only in receive mode. I was very disappointed myself when I learned, and also quite surprised that this wasn't documented or covered in a single review that I had read.

I have found the Bluetooth receiver to be disappointing at best, and barely usable at worst. I was hoping to use the device in receive mode for MQA for starters, but this isn't supported, which is not made obvious anywhere--only SBC in receive mode (not documented, but has been confirmed by...

Seems like someone (not it) could make a real killing on aftermarket modding for DX220 users. :-) I too am very curious about this mod and willing to fork out for expertise. In the Seattle area.

Totally get it. :-) But that doesn't include Tidal. That's the bit that is missing for me.

This would turn my frown upside down as it regards the limitations of BT receive. Controlling TIDAL remotely would be a perfectly acceptable workaround.

I sincerely appreciate the confirmation here, Paul. I must point out that if I had this information in advance, it definitely would have affected my purchase decision. When I read all about the dx220 I thought, "Woo hoo, this Jack of all Trades meets every one of my needs and desires!" That...

Just in case anyone is searching for answers regarding MQA support on the dx220 in Bluetooth receive mode, I got my answer in the other thread noted above... Regardless of send device (IOS, Android, and so on), the dx220 only receives in SBC, meaning that it will never receive above 48K. Here...

Thank you so much. You rock for providing this info. I guess I will hold out for a firmware update to fix? I mean, there are plenty of other features that I will use. Disappointed though that the iBasso team was cagey about this one.

Ah! OK. So regardless of sending device, nobody gets over 44.1k. I am really surprised this didn’t show up in the half dozen reviews I read. And I am doubly surprised it wouldn’t be documented. That seems like a miss to me.

Yeah, pretty sure this confirms it is a codec send from IOS issue. Apple doesn’t support either LDAC or AptX at this point on IOS as far as I can tell. They completely obfuscate that information on their mobile devices, so I’m going off of internet consensus. For anyone else who, like me, is...

Hey, all. I tried my questions over on the Help forum, even knowing that this mega-thread existed, but was kindly directed here anyway. So hello and thanks for letting me jump into the conversation. :-) Love the DX220 so far! Great device for my many wants and desires. I have a few questions...

Thanks, @PaganDL! I have seen that mega-thread and wasn't sure if I should hijack it or not. I will head on over there. :-)

I purchased a DX220 for 4 purposes: Tidal MQA support, playing my collection on the road (with sweet headphones), as a Bluetooth receiver for my home hi-fi system, and as a mobile DAC for a computer. So far so good! Mostly. I do have a few noob questions I am hoping to get some help on...

Will do! Thanks for the warm welcome and the quick response!

Hi folks! Somewhat long-time listener and first-time poster here. This forum is a wealth of great info. Thanks to the mods for letting me in. A couple years back I started to become aware of some minor but still appreciable hearing loss as a function of many years of concerts (both as a...
