I have found where to source AMP4 from. @davidmolliere David, n'écoute pas le AMP4, tu vas être déçu ...

AMP4 can't disappoint me, it's my favorite and who's to say AMP5 tops it when I get the balanced cable for i4?

The only AMP I would sell is AMP2 as it's well... totally outgunned by AMP5

You're saying AMP5 is king of the AMPs :wink: ?
Anyway I am just dazzled by AMP5/LCD i4 combo... it's like having 20/30K speaker system in your ears :L3000:

Can you explain the use of line out? What is the difference with balance and unbalanced out?
Copied (what matches my opinion) from another thread:
Line Output
Digital Receiver >> DAC chip >> Analogue Output stage >> Preamp stage >> Amplifier stage

Headphone output
Digital Receiver >> DAC chip >> Analogue Output stage >> Preamp stage >> Amplifier stage

So with line output you bypass amp section so you need an external amplifier?

Hi guys.
I’m using mainly line out from ibasso, has amp2, now testing amp5 and finding it very very bright compared to amp1, which is still my favourite.
Do you think amp5 will improve with more burn in time?

Of all the things that come to mind for AMP5, bright is the last that comes to mind from my experience, which headphone/IEM are you using? And good question from @rick81 why lineout : you're running the DX200 in a stack or standalone?
