Cables rolling will be an expensive call lol!
1st thing happy chinese new year to anyone celebrating or not & to @Paul - iBasso & team.
My amp8ex-fe has passed 700hrs burn-in together with solaris se. It just sounds amazing to me & afew of my pals. The soundstage is holographic with solaris se. Instruments positioning to me is pinpoint accurate. Layering & seperation between instruments/vocals, one could hear the space between them without feeling disjointed.
The highs with amp8ex-fe i could hear the nice extensions/sparkles on solaris se without being harsh. Mids are just right for my taste. Very sweet! The lows are what one can expect from amp8 but just tighter/clearer without it being too boomy.
Everything just plays well with one another. It sounds balanced & neutral to me. I love it!
Sorry i don't have the vocab to explain it better.
Enjoy the holidays & of cos the music!
@Whitigir im enjoying the burn process so much, im thinking will it have some more very very subtle changes at 1khrs?

I wanted to write something down as well now that I've hit at least 150h on my AMP8EX-FE. You pretty much nailed what I wanted to say.
It will be must more enjoyable going in to try and pick a TOTL IEM with the new amp. I was already impressed with the A18t on the Amp1mk2 (didn't think the shop had 4.4mm cable available for my test session) but I can't even imagine how it will sounds with the way better soundstage of the AMP8EX-FE.

Got my dx220 back from ibasso. Now my volume knob is so much firmer.
Very fast turn around, especially they are busy with future product launching & chinese new year. Sent it on Jan 9, got it today Jan 21.
Many many thanks to @Paul - iBasso
Great turnaround, this is very nice to hear! I hope I never need to use it but glad it is so fast. Other DAP companies should learn from that.
Happy cny everyone.
If there's a second list being populated to garner interest on a second run of the amp8ex I'm in!
Gotta love the modular system and moddability of this kit!

Got my M5 and plug in the DX228EXFE.
Simply MAGICAL with the vocal + better bass+treble.
Don't want to go office today. Just wanna enjoy the music!

DX220 previous firmware vs latest firmware thoughts?

Latest Firm is more engaging in Upper high...Amp8EX

@ExpatinJapan the latest firmware compared to the previous, the highs are airier, adds a little more space/separations. Its a bit more sparkling to highs.
Mids/vocals & lows feels about the same. As of whole it feels a tad more spacious. All listened with Solaris se & og Andros with amp8exfe.
Oh btw, quick charging is enabled for all my qc/pd chargers i had on hand. Even samsung chargers are able to quickcharger now with the latest firmware.

Thanks
yes that is also what i am hearing also.
more extended highs.
(i wanted to ask first before posting my thoughts for a reality check).
I think if they were dialed back just a bit it would be perfect.

Already have these songs for long time.. never like it in any of DAP I own and tried... on a usual random song day, this pop up... On AMP8EX-FE, High gain, Digital filter 3... wow.. now I know why some people love it.. good song and album... and it was AMP8EX-FE good pair...
just sharing...
That is the ability of TOTL amplifications . You will be surprised even further more if you visit the collections you thought you never enjoyed before
